Somebody have some news about glexicon.com? today all disappear!! the server till yesterday works fine like ps1 today look all down!!! Thanks
Posted by Soze, 07-21-2004, 04:04 AM
Indeed it looks like most of their servers are down or unreachable (cs1.gxn.us, cs2.gxn.us, ps1.gxn.us, ps2.gxn.us) and their main site and forums are down too. Their main site and forums were also down for more days last week but they came up again... The last words anybody heard from a staff member of Glexicon were "I talked to Robert not too long ago. He doesn't have access to the net and I don't know what happened to those other guys. I'll see if i can get a hold of him." I am afraid that Robert Hinojosa really ***ed up this time and that this was the end of Glexicon. Last week I tried to warn people to move away from them. Maybe the servers will come up again sometime. If you like gambling you can try and wait...

Thanks Soze, I was warning and I open a new host with another company (whthost.com), I'm not sure to transfer all now or wait ....... the problem it's only the DNS propagation time.....if glexicon come up again in a short time....or if it's realy at the end like eryxma was..... ..to be or not to be this is the question.....

Moved to Network Outages forum.

Today they changed the nameservers of glexicon.com from dns1.glexicon.com and dns2.glexicon.com to dns1.glexicon.net and dns2.glexicon.net so something is happening... the old nameservers are dead but the new ones are alive. Next week Glexicon was also down for about two days also because the nameservers of their domain name were set wrong. I think making this stupid mistake twice within a week is amazingly amateuristic for a hosting company. Edit: looks like this has something to do with the new migration to Plesk... so maybe they are not dead, but I still can't believe they just took everything down without any notice.

Anyone who would still want to host with Glexicon at this point is nuts. I was with Eryxma briefly but managed to get out before it all came crashing down. Three months ago I received an email from RH asking me as a former Eryxma customer to consider switching to Glexicon for my hosting service. I politely declined - one visit to their forums was enough to convince me they were going to hell in a handbasket already.

Tanks for the news...... I don't know again what to think, I like allways the service, with me they was the most time right.....now I start to migrate to another host else I paied for one year......
Posted by Soze, 07-21-2004, 11:31 AM
Apus, my advice is: move away, go for another hosting company. There is a good chance Glexicon will not survive and if they will, it will probably take quite a long time: I experienced three (!) migrations with Eryxma/Glexicon. The first one (Houston -> San Francisco) took my site (which was not important at that time) down for 13 (!) days, the second one (SF to The Planet) for 11 days and the last one (Eryxma -> Glexicon) never succeeded at all. All my data was lost and they did not offer me a new account. Luckily I already moved my data to another host before the migration to Glexicon. I understand that you don't want to lose the money you paid for one year. My advice: move to another host that will let you pay monthly. If Glexicon is back and stable after one month (my guess is that they will not be) , you move back to them. If they are not, you stay at your new host.

Dear Soze, you are right..... I was to by erixma.......I was on PS1 and I don't get a big stop (luky!!), if I could ask you on wich hosting are you now? I'm on whthost.com, but I miss plesk Thanks again for the wise suggest Ps think I do all the modify on my php appl for to run on glexicon...was a week of work.....
Posted by Soze, 07-21-2004, 12:28 PM
Right now I am on Site5 (this is no spam, I am telling this only because apus asks) and I'm very happy with them (a lot of space and bandwidth and very fast and professional support). If you have a look at their forums you will notice that most threads are about things like suggestions for minor enhancements..... what a difference with the Glexicon forums Anyway, you have to decide for your own and find a host that best fits your requirements. I know it is hard so I wish you and all other Glexicon customers luck.
Posted by apus, 07-21-2004, 12:30 PM
Thanks again I'll go to see your host and I'll tell you in PM about it Have a nice day

OBERON CS1 CS2 CS3 CS5 Run PS1 PS2 PS3 DOWN
Posted by Soze, 07-22-2004, 02:08 PM
They really started a migration again... (in my opinion this is really insane). My guess is they will not finish before the 27th (based on earlier experiences with these people). The only smart thing they did is remove the forums since they were overwhelmed with extremely negative threads...
Posted by NEO_RPM, 07-24-2004, 09:47 AM
Any news anyone? This is ridiculous, all I want to do now is recover a few databases and run!
Posted by NEO_RPM, 07-25-2004, 01:06 PM
From their web site: "A new email-based support system is available to all clients; to submit a ticket to the system, email support@glexicon.com." Emails just bounce for me... Anyone know any other way to contact them?
Posted by sunshines, 07-26-2004, 07:58 PM
they are not capable to run a webhosting business, the only method is to mail them , then I sent several notices to diferent mails, but all bounces back to me. What can I do? For all potential clinets: stay away from glexicon, as they are suspicious company, no clinet support is given , never they posts notices, your cc card could be in danger too. They just decide a migration adn you are down for aweek , without notices. It is 2nd migration in 2 months. There are a lot of good hosts around, find them.
Posted by BigBison, 07-26-2004, 08:24 PM
That's curious, because neither Glexicon nor Robert Hinojosa are listed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office. This doesn't prove anything, of course... http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield...h=Submit+Query
Posted by tattoovampire, 07-27-2004, 09:30 AM
All Hinojosa has done since Erxyma folded is lie, lie and lie some more. Surely no real hosting company would pull these kind of shenanigans if they had an honest desire to stay in business. Glexicon is rotten to the core; always has been. It's a scam being run by snake oil salesmen and hopefully those responsible for both the Glexicon and Erxyma debacles will end up in jail.
Posted by sunshines, 07-27-2004, 09:40 AM
I did read a lot of things about Eryxma, Glexicon ,Hinojosa and end up with conclusion: if you are still with them, run aways ASAP and cancel your credit card like I did. If you are looking for a new host, Glexicon or Eryxma (anyway same people are behind) is not a solution for noone.
Posted by FHDave, 07-27-2004, 10:11 AM
why would they move again?
Posted by tattoovampire, 07-27-2004, 10:20 AM
Booted from their datacenter, maybe? Or it's all just smoke and mirrors, possibly.
Posted by Soze, 07-27-2004, 11:19 AM
The only reason I can think of is that they created big problems with their current datacenter... I don't think the reason is that they were bored and were looking for more work to do...
Posted by sunshines, 07-27-2004, 11:35 AM
or maybe they didn't pay for it, like Joe Shiekron the kid did.
Posted by thejustin, 07-29-2004, 08:44 AM
the Robert Hinojosa in Porter, Texas that I found information for is only 19.
Posted by tattoovampire, 07-29-2004, 09:01 AM
That's him. He's just a kid, as was most, if not all, of the staff at Eryxma.
Posted by ladymacb29, 08-10-2004, 03:21 PM
I'd say count your losses now and find a new host. Even me, who gives places the benefit of the doubt left them.
Posted by NEO_RPM, 08-10-2004, 03:36 PM
When it comes down to it, all I want is one database that was on CP1. Any ideas anyone on how I could recover this?
Posted by nova9, 08-17-2004, 08:10 PM
People, wake up and search all Eryxma related threads (search for posts in threads with my user name and you'll see the light). Where is my favorite "volunteer" ("mastermal" in WHT, aka Christian Sutter from Austria), to defend them once more? Christian, to whom should people here direct their "sod off" now?
Posted by mastermal, 08-18-2004, 07:12 PM
At your command, my master Direct their "sod offs" - maybe to Robert? Hehe... Don't ask me. I'm only the butler. Interesting to see what happened to Glexicon, I have to say I didn't expect it to go that way. But frankly, I have to admit I probably wouldn't have stayed with them if I had been an ex-Eryxma customer. I helped them move some stuff over, but over time, fewer and fewer people over there seemed to care, so I gave up on the project altogether. (The fact I never got paid might have been another issue, but I'm not that much of a greedy person...) Good luck with your next host then (and nova, I miss fighting with you. Too bad I don't have anything to fight about now...)

this company is also using theplanet.com for hosting, like eryxma and glexicon before them. also, the AIM screennames for Patrick LaCrosse and Joseph Sheikron have been active lately. that's all i'm going to say.
Posted by w0rn, 10-14-2004, 12:12 AM
Why don't these obvious scam artists get arrested?
Posted by ladymacb29, 10-14-2004, 09:16 AM
You have to catch the people to arrest them.
Posted by rumahosting, 11-16-2004, 06:06 PM
Sheikron said " all is good no problem with glexicon" but the result, glexicon disappear.... so many hosting disappear on this year such a scam hosting "HOST4EVER" that's Scam hosting ever! but they so smart using 2co for payment gateway...
Posted by ladymacb29, 11-16-2004, 06:41 PM
And all of them have always displayed their AIM ID...

You can speculate all you want. I was working for Glexicon Communications for a while until they were forced to close. At the same time I was trying to build up Probonic Networks. Now that Glexicon Communications has gone I am devoting all my time to building up my company. At the time that I posted those plans I was not working for Glexicon. Thank you.
Posted by ladymacb29, 11-25-2004, 02:00 PM
'Forced to close.' Nice how they told all of us what was going on so we could make arrangements instead of just disappearing one night.
Posted by probonic, 11-25-2004, 03:50 PM
I don't know what actually happened, as I wasn't doing much work for them by the point they closed, but I don't really see the point of keeping going on about it. Glexicon is gone, and that's that. The sooner people accept that the better.
