		<description>For five years I was with Web Strike Hosting, it was great, no issues, fast support, limited down time and no hacks.
Then EasyCGI took over and within minutes stuff was going wrong, from the poor support, &quot;Beta&quot; Interface, costant down time, horrific migration, it has been a constant headache. On top of this suddenly my sites are being hacked. Obviously EasyCGI knew this was going on because when I logged in 2 weeks ago I was met by a &quot;change your passwords&quot; requirement...too late as 3 of my sites had been attacked through both the web and DB.
All in all horrific, I dream of the days when Web Strike was around, why they sold out to EasyCGI I guess we&#039;ll never know, but when they did they sold out their customers and dumped us all in the crapper!
Avoid like the plague I doubt there is a worse host around.</description>

		<description>Mr &quot;Ray Akers&quot; (boy this name sounds so much like one of those names that you chat with through LiveChat @ easycgi) you are saying that OUR scripts are crap. Well let me disappoint you. Easycgi has broken their own scripts, and paths starting from SQL, ASP, IP addresses, to the InstallCentral applications they offer, such as Wordpress. So, NO I do not think that our scripts are crappy. Additionally, there is nothing in HTML that should be broken no matter where you put it, but they manage to break even those pages.</description>

		<description>I actually came here to see if there is any type of lawsuit against easycgi.
Our website has been broken more than not and I am in the process of moving it. If only I could. Yesterday finally they broke the ftp connection as well.
My story is long but here it goes in bullets.
 - I have been with easycgi for about 7 years with no problems. I actually encouraged others I designed websites for to sign up. What a mistake!!
 - I am also hosting with bizland, which as I found out after 7 years of hosting, is also part of easycgi. - I had portions of my site linked to bizland where I used Linux.
 - Problems started to happen about 2 years ago when the site would go down for a couple of hours. I figured well I give the benefit of the doubt that they are working on something and it needs to be down.
 - In 2009 I thought I was prepared for the server moves. It took them forever I was about a month off schedule. Then suddenly the website broke on both hosts. They changed the relative path to the domains without ever telling the customer, they changed something with ASP that made my forum and calendar dysfunctional.
- I could no longer access FTP through Dreamweaver and when I researched it and told them what option needs to be turned on on their servers they sent the same solution back to me, saying I need to do that!! I was running in circles.
- There was no way for me to reconnect the websites properly, so I decided to rebuild the site completely. I could no longer use Dreamveawer to synch so I had to get more manual with up and downloading.
- I registered a new domain name and hosting space (made the mistake of using them again) just so they can restore my forum and calendar to that space. That is when I noticed that they overwrote my forum and calendar with a 3 months old version. When I asked for the recent backup they overwrote it with the same version and told me that is the recent backup they took a couple of days ago.
- I rebuilt the site, it was down a couple of hours here and there, and it lasted until May 29th 2009. Then it went down for another couple of days. Technical support on the web was like talking to a drone giving me weird answers and questions.
- They ask for my name every time because &quot;it is not on file&quot; - why ask it then if you not going to put it on file.
 - After I finally got the site back, I was thinking I should move now while I can. Low and behold, on June 18th 2009 the site went down. It is June 24 and the site is still down. I opened a ticket on the 19th and asked them to look into it. There was a huge storm there so I figured it should be fixed soon. Then they came back on the 20th that they are aware of the issue and working on resolving it. 23rd...still nothing. So finally I contacted them and ask what&#039;s taking so long. They actually resolved the ticket on me!!
- Within about an hour they came back that they had to update the zone file in the DNS records. Why on earth was it changed to begin with???? They said it will take another 24-48 hours before it would come back but I do not think so because the site now says &quot;PHP working&quot; and I can no longer access my files through ftp.
So how do you want to start that class action suit and what do we need for it?</description>

		<description>I found this entry in my despair. I’m currently hosting only 2 sites in Easy CGI’s VPS (DedicatedX2). The server has been down for more than 12 hours but they haven’t done anything. No replying to emails, no commenting to support ticket. This must be the worst-supported service I’ve met.
After the server is back (if it will), I’ll certainly backup my sites and move to another place.</description>

		<description>Yes, all my sites have been hit with an iframe virus. this then extended to all my dedicated servers and has caused us massive havoc. I am still planning a class action lawsuit. Anyone interested in joining me on this?</description>

		<description>Although I have given my review regarding EASY CGI - I wanted to reach out to all those who have posted here and was wondering if their sites have been hacked since they moved to other hosts?  Mine has been hacked twice and the index page shows my old username and the easycgi extension when I look at the index page.</description>

		<description>What a useless host provider - I have been hosting with the same webhost for 10 years - never a problem - everything always fixed, cheap prices, excellent service, good product.
And then they sell the company to EasyCGI - great for the business owners and good on them but bad for the customers.  I have never seen such a poor migration of websites from one server to another - not one of my clients websites have had up to date copies of their websites moved across - with sites being updated regularly, some of the changes I made 3 months ago to some websites are nowhere to be seen.  And downtime - its ridiculous - one client has so far lost 6 full days of business and their website is their business - if it stays down any longer, they will be out of business more than likely and so will I.
The Help Desk - most useless bunch of people ever - I ask them a simple question any normal person with some computer knowledge has they tell me to hold for 2-4 minutes so they can look into it - in other words they have no idea.  And then you get passed around and 2 days later still nothing has been done.
And I bet they wont&#039; reimburse my clients for lost business - no chance.  Anyway, find someone that has positive reviews about a webhost and do your homework - we had NO choice when told our current host had sold to EasyCGI - if we did, I wouldn&#039;t be with them now.</description>

		<description>EasyCGI was always overpriced even for Windows shared hosting, but up until the Fall of 2008 they were competent enough and fixed problems with their platform. No shared hosting company is perfect but EasyCGI became a really bad company in late 2008.
What happened is that they were acquired by Endurance International Group, a one size fits all, lowest common denominator hosting group.  Shades of The Matrix.
I had the same type of problems described here, but when they weren&#039;t resolved I moved my site to another host. It helped that I had my domain registered with a major ICANN registrar (GoDaddy- not a good host but a good registrar) so it was not held hostage by these idiots.
You always have to be prepared to leave, i.e., have your own backups and domains not registered thru your hosting company.  If you have many sites apply the same procedure to all.  Don&#039;t take more than 3 months at a time of hosting so you don&#039;t get burned if things go south.
I had my site, a little money-making e-commerce site built with ASP.NET 2.0 ported quickly to a small hosting company with colocation at The Planet.  Everything is fine, for the nonce...very solid and very fast http server response.
Hosting companies are low margin businesses, and in this economy any one of them could go under at any time.</description>

		<description>Agree with the others.  Went from good to WORST!  During the horrible and still not completed transition EasyCGI destroyed our site - a non-profit charity FirstScholarshipFund.
They lost all email addresses and past emails.  They lost the database.  The lost our SSL.  They changed the script support and we couldn&#039;t receive customer feedback or error messages.  The email was down for days, the DB for weeks and the SSL for months.  We could not process any transactions and lost significant donations.
TERRIBLE!</description>

		<description>Ray - I&#039;m glad to see that you have all that ample time to keep up with technology.
My issue is that I purchased my program back in 2002 and have no knowledge of how to change or update the scripts.  I have it hosted on EASYCGI and I try to rely on TECH SUPPORT to guide me when such a problem arises.  However, TECH SUPPORT was not able to solve it, it was MY RESEARCH that found what the issues were!  Now TECH SUPPORT would like me to tell them what the problem was so they can update their records!  Sorry - they should know what my problems were - that is why they are TECH SUPPORT and get paid and I am Joe Blow losing business because of them.
&lt;b&gt;So the purpose of this site is for users to review EASYCGI - and our reviews reflect our experiences with TECH SUPPORT and we all feel that the TECH SUPPORT team at EASY CGI is poor.  They all lack knowledge of the new platform.  They lack quick response times while our sites are down for days even weeks.  We do not what to hear a TECHNICIAN will be with you in 24 - 48 hours.  They are a totally lost and inept team.  Every person here agrees that EASYCGI was great up until the migration. &lt;/b&gt;
EASY CGI could have informed many of us, prior to the migration, that certain scripts would not be recognized and need to be changed, to meet the requirements of the new platform - but we were told &quot;your site should not experience any issues during the migration process, but leave some time to test you site once the migration has taken place.&quot;  &lt;b&gt;Did you see they tell us, &quot;that our site should not experience any issues?&quot;&lt;/b&gt;  Obviously they were severely wrong!
So while my site is now lightning fast and runs flawlessly on EASYCGI&#039;s new platform, I no longer want to deal with there poor TECH SUPPORT team and have begun moving my site to a new host.  So Ray, you can rest assured that I will be taking my &#039;OLD CRAPPY SCRIPTS&quot; off EASYCGI&#039;s platform.
Finally Ray - I do ask that while you continue to keep up with technology, maybe revisit First Grade Grammar and learn the difference between there and their and the correct usage.</description>

		<description>Scripts have been working fine for 3 years, processed over 20,000 transaction, then all of a sudden, up, doen, up, down and very poor, and I mean very poor support, just wait, wait wait, I fixed it the first 2 times, then the third time all it required is looking at the server ( I can not do this) event viewer between 12:39 11/11 and 1:15, when I discovered it. Once I got someone to LISTEN to me on that, it was fixed in about 2 hours.

Doug Rice called in on this issue after submitting the ticket. Attempted to check the scripting on the EventDetail.aspx page, but could not locate anything that pointed to the configuration of the website in regards to the databases.
Checked each of the databases within the user&#039;s MySQL, saw the tables and listings established in there.
Attempted to get more information from the user, but after picking the line back up got silence on the other end before the user hung up.

Customer Quote:
Please look at this I found
Seems simple, but I can not do it
If you have ever received an error message on a .Net application that simply stated &quot;Server Application Unavailable&quot; you might find this useful.
When you receive this error, make sure to check the event viewer on the server. This is found under administrative tools. Under the application event log, you will likely find an error that states: &quot;It is not possible to run two different versions of ASP.NET in the same IIS process. Please use the IIS Administration tool to run the application in a separate process.&quot;
An application pool is a process that responds to web requests under IIS. An application pool does not have a setting for what type of ASP.Net applications will be run in it. Instead, it loads the appropriate libraries when an ASP.Net application is loaded in the process. Because the libraries for ASP.Net 1.1 and ASP.Net 2.0 are similar, but not the same, the application pool cannot respond to requests for both types of applications at the same time. This can cause sporadic behaviour if you are using the server at the same time as another developer and you have applications using different versions of the framework in the same application pool.
Make sure that on your server there is an application pool dedicated to ASP.Net 2.0 applications and one for ASP.Net 1.1 applications. When you add an ASP.Net application to the server, make sure you select the right application pool for it.

Server Application Unavailable
The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the &quot;Refresh&quot; button in your web browser to retry your request.
Solution
This can happen for several reasons. An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Open the Event Viewer and see the error message reported. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error.
If the error message reported is:
Aspnet_wp.exe could not be launched because the username and/or password supplied in the processModel section of the config file are invalid.
Then the most likely causes are:
1.
Microsoft .NET Framework is no longer registered correctly.
2.
The Microsoft Internet Information Server memory is corrupted.
3.
The ASP.NET user no longer has access to the Microsoft .NET Framework folder, the application folder, or the Temporary Files folder.
4.
You have recently applied a security patch to IIS.
5.
Your system is a domain controller.
6.
(Advanced) The processModel section of the Machine.config file does not specify AutoGenerate for the password.
If you continue to have problems, please see the Additional Resources section below.
Microsoft .NET Framework Registration issues
11/11/2008 7:14 PM EST 	Doug Rice contacted EasyCGI
Customer Quote:
Make sure that the application pool user have access rights on the web folder. It should be either NETWORK SERVICE or ASPNET.
This error also occurs if the pool is corrupted for any reasons, try creating a new one.
11/11/2008 7:15 PM EST 	Doug Rice contacted EasyCGI
Customer Quote:
Solution?
Try reinstalling ASP.NET (2.0.50727) to refresh the ASP.NET settings, config, metabase and security/worker accounts on the local machine:
1. Open a command prompt and....
2. Stop IIS: iisreset /stop
3. Change to the .NET Framework 2.0 root directory: C:\windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\
4. Reinstall ASP.NET 2.0 by using the following command: aspnet_regiis -i
5. Start IIS again: iisreset /start
6. Try to access your web page again.
Note: there are many other fabulous options available to refresh your IIS settings... just give aspnet_regiis /? a run!

Server Application Unavailable, no event log, .NET 2
February 14, 2007 at 7:38 pm · Filed under ASP.NET, annoying, windows
A perplexing error while setting up my new system:
Server Application Unavailable
The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable.
Please hit the “Refresh” button in your web browser to retry your request.
Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the system event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur.
The web leads me far astray. I did not have anything in the event log.
The solution? Give MACHINE/ASPNET permission to my project. I found this a LOT faster by switching to .NET 1.1 in IIS, and that gave a much more useful error message. I guess “Server Application Unavailable” is .NET 2’s way of crapping its pants.

I updated to .NET 2.0 (I don&#039;t have 3.0 yet). Uploaded to the web site and it still has the same message. Something is still in memory there. They need to restart the application pool for raceforum I think.

3. Change to the .NET Framework 2.0 root directory: C:\windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\<br />
4. Reinstall ASP.NET 2.0 by using the following command: aspnet_regiis -i<br />
5. Start IIS again: iisreset /start<br />
6. Try to access your web page again.</p>
<p>Note: there are many other fabulous options available to refresh your IIS settings&#8230; just give aspnet_regiis /? a run!<br />

Server Application Unavailable, no event log, .NET 2</p>
<p>February 14, 2007 at 7:38 pm · Filed under ASP.NET, annoying, windows</p>
<p>A perplexing error while setting up my new system:</p>
<p>Server Application Unavailable</p>
<p>The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable.</p>
<p>Please hit the “Refresh” button in your web browser to retry your request.</p>
<p>Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the system event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur.</p>
<p>The web leads me far astray. I did not have anything in the event log.</p>
<p>The solution? Give MACHINE/ASPNET permission to my project. I found this a LOT faster by switching to .NET 1.1 in IIS, and that gave a much more useful error message. I guess “Server Application Unavailable” is .NET 2’s way of crapping its pants.<br />

<p>My web guy says this<br />
saw in their knowledge base that they only support .NET 2.0 and 3.0.</p>
<p>I updated to .NET 2.0 (I don&#8217;t have 3.0 yet). Uploaded to the web site and it still has the same message. Something is still in memory there. They need to restart the application pool for raceforum I think.</p>

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.</p>
<p>Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a  tag within a &#8220;web.config&#8221; configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application.

		<description>I solved my problem with EASYCGI - but it was &lt;b&gt;ME&lt;/b&gt; who figured it out, not their tech support.  The only way I could have figured out the issue was I was moving my site to a new host, the error message returned what the exact problem was.  So, I fixed my problem on Easy CGI and now the site works beautifully!  However, I will not tell them what the fix is, as they did nothing helping me fix the site, so they can go and figure it out for themselves.  After the 15 of November, I will be free of EasyCGI and look forward to using my new host.</description>

		<description>As others have said, this migration has been an absolute nightmare.  I&#039;ve been with EasyCGI for nearly 7 years now with multiple sites.  For 6 1/2 years, they were great.   Now, they have completely fallen apart.  Examples:
1.  All of our FTP accounts (we have 1 for each customer) have been opened up to the ENTIRE site (rather than the directory that the customer should only have access to).
2.  The tools that we had used to upload files (these were ones that EasyCGI supported ... ASPUpload) now suddenly don&#039;t work.  They &quot;path&quot; has been changed.  Simple enough except that nobody at EasyCGI can tell us the new path.  We spent about 8 hours on phone calls / Live Chat to receive no answer there.
3.  The form mailer that they supported (ASPEmail) no longer works.  Again, redesign.
4.  Their support went from being OK to being horrific.  If you call in, you&#039;ll be placed on hold for about 20 minutes at which point you&#039;ll have to leave a message.  Leaving a message apparently goes into a black hole as we have NEVER received a call back (and we&#039;ve probably left close to a dozen messages now).
5.  The LIVE chat support personnel create all sorts of frustrations as well as these folks must be new to a computer and English.  After challenging you with &quot;sign up with a security question&quot;, they can&#039;t even see it.  Last Friday, I created a security question 3 times.  Each request was as though we had just started chatting.  After 4 hours of non-sense like &quot;please give me a couple of minutes to research your issue&quot;, they told me it would be escalated.  Obviously, that is their way to drop the chat.  I&#039;ve never received a response.
6.  We have been double and tripple billed.  They said its because of the way the new plan is set up.  That doesn&#039;t make any sense, but that is their excuse.
7.  Our site will completely go down with no warning.   And, its down for days, not minutes.
So, I am now faced with moving all of our sites which is a tremendous task.  But, we simply can&#039;t attempt to conduct business like this any further.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been with EasyCgi for 3 years and have been very happy with them.  Up until they decided to migrate to a new platform.  Now I&#039;m in some sort of migration Limbo where half my stuff is on the old platform and half is on the new platform and somehow they think I only have 1 Sql database instead of the 3 that I have.  I&#039;m looking for another provider.  I no longer trust them to keep my site running.</description>

		<description>2 Happy years at Easy CGI.  Most miserable month every in October.  The team at EasyCGI decided to migrate everyone&#039;s sites to a new platform.  Unfortunately many sites have crashed.  Their tech support is not able to fix these crashed sites.  I tried to point them towards my problems but there is no communication or team effort to resolve these issues, just copy and paste responses every 24 to 48 hours.  Nothing getting resolved.  I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND SHOPPING ALL THE OTHER HOSTING COMPANIES BEFORE GIVING EASY CGI YOUR BUSINESS!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m trying to be kind to EasyCGI, they&#039;ve had a lot of problems this year (2008).  I&#039;m trying to be but I&#039;m damned if I&#039;m going to be.
To say EasyCGI are bad would be a compliment to them.  They really are the worst hosting company it&#039;s ever been my misfortune to deal with.
Imagine you own a commercial website which is your income.  Then imagine your site is down for four days per month and customers can&#039;t access your site at all.
Then imagine the following month, the site is down for six days.
This has been going on throughout the year.  At the time of writing this reveiw, it&#039;s October 16th.  Our website has been down nine seperate times in sixteen days.  That&#039;s NINE times the entire site was down in sixteen days.
If you&#039;re thinking of signing up with EasyCGI, please re-read this review first and reconsider.  I cannot put into words how awful this company really is.</description>
