Returning, no x10Hosting hosting account

[Peter Dow]

Hi again remember me?

I was running scot.x10.. until about a year ago when I neglected it because I had another host I was happy with at the time.

Anyway, I am down a host again and I remembered x10hosting and here I am again to see what is what?

First thing I note is that someone has taken over scot.x10..

Second, I don't seem to have an x10hosting account.

The forum account you are logging into does not have an existing link to an x10Hosting hosting account.
Please be sure you are using the correct account to access x10Hosting's account management system. You should be using the forum account that you provided during the hosting account signup process. If you are not, this error is most likely the result.
If you have successfully logged into the account system in the past, this error may be the result of the hosting account no longer existing. If you have not accessed your x10Hosting account in an extended period of time, it may have been terminated with our inactivity policy.
If you've recently signed up to find that your account errored during creation, and you selected to "reattempt" or "cancel" your account signup, you will see this message until you sign up for an account again.
To receive a definite answer regarding the status of your account, open a support ticket at: http://support.x10hosting.com

Yes I tried to open a support ticket but was told

Sorry! This forum is not accepting new posts.

So no definitive answer but I have been away a year so that is what it will be. Account terminated.

So what does a guy do to get his account renewed around here? :dunno:

Should I just start from the beginning?
I will need to choose a new subdomain name anyway now that "scot" has gone.

Hi Peter Dow. Welcome back to x10hosting!

If you were inactive for a year, your account was probably terminated for inactivity. To be considered as "active", users must log on to the forums at least once every 31 days (formerly 14). There probably isn't a way to recover the data from your account as it has been terminated and deleted.

Unfortunately, you would need to start from the beginning.

Oh no worries I have got all my data well backed up. :cool: It has changed a lot since last year too. Well if you see me back here under a slightly different "Peter Dow" username soon you will know why.

Welcome Peter

Welcome Peter

Thanks.

I re-signed up yesterday and the good news is I can keep my same forum username but the bad news is I am still waiting for the confirmation email. :happysad:

In order to use your hosting account, you must confirm an email address to be associated with it.
Account email confirmation sent successfully.

Well no sign of an email arriving from yesterday and I have just done a

resend confirmation email

but so far nothing. :happysad:

Are there any known issues here with Yahoo not accepting for delivery emails from x10hosting?

I notice that x10hosting server which hosts this forum has got a bad rating from McAfee virus and site checker.

McAfee
When we tested this site we found links to 208.122.40.130, which we found breaches browser security on our test PC.

I was wondering if the x10hosting has also been blacklisted as a spammer server and now the likes of Yahoo and Hotmail won't take email from x10hosting?

The support section is closed... wait for its opening http://forums.x10hosting.com/news-an...-new-post.html then post support ticket.. You will get help

If you do not get confirmation on Yahoo look in your Spam folder. Yahoo tends to put users not in your "contacts" list into the Spam folder and you may NEVER see the confirmation, depending on your settings in Yahoo.

Thanks for the advice, the encouragement and the reminder guys.

Support was closed and email address confirmation emails were either not being sent or not delivered by Yahoo when I posted my forlorn HELP message 02-08-2010 09:46 PM.

The good news is when I tried just now, the email confirmation was sent and duly arrived in my Inbox so my account is now being set up.
