Anyone know whats going on with HiyaCorp
I purchased a reseller account with HiyaCorp on April 28 and for the first few days everything was fine. About 3 days ago they brought down the server I was on saying they needed to take care of phishing problems. The server came back up last night but my account wasnt on it. After fighting tech support for hours I finally got someone to say they would reinstall my account. Once I got the email my account was back I tried to log in and the server seems to be down again.
Now the 24/7 support system is down too. Anyone know whats going on over there?

Sounds like you may need to jump ship. I never heard of this company, but it does not sound reasonable what they are doing. I would cut losses and move on, no new customer deserves this kind of treatment.

The problem is I have an ad campaign airing on national radio in less than 24 hours.. and not enough time to switch dns to another server even if I got hosting somewhere else.
Looks like I wasted ad money on nothing since my site wont be active when my ad runs.

If you do the change right now, you may be able to have your site working on your new host in less than 24 hours, lately, domain propagation is taking 4-8 hours, with bad luck, 24.
In the mean time, you can have your account working at HiyaCorp too.█ Shared Web Hosting - Reseller Hosting - Semi-Dedicated Servers - SolusVM/XEN VPS

Drop me a line
fred@hiyacorp.com
I'll get your site up by the time your radio campaign hits. If you had a new account, you should not of gone on Zeus, it was probably a glitch in the billing system. Zeus had to be taken down after reapted hacked attempts and phising sites appearing. The accounts are being restored right now, but I can expedite your account of move it to a different server on our network (you won't have to change nameservers since you are behind our DNS servers)

I once had an account with HostingLite (owned by HiyaCorp) and had similar problems. I recommend Sonet7 (owned by Liquid Web) and SJR Hosting -- both have excellent uptime and fast customer service.

Well Hiyacorp had an issue with its zeus server and also DC burst has had a bad month. Hence this did not help either. We have put new measures in place. Fred is the US District Manager at Hiya and is extreamly qualified in the hosting field so if you do have issues contact him or live support and we can always help you out. Sometimes things happen and its unavoidable. We value all our clients new and old and your comments are always welcome. We do apologise for what happened this past month but the good part is that we have learned and improved our services even further!
