Paysystems appears to be out of biz. Their www.paysystems.com domain has been down for hours, as well as their payment system. Email to support bounces back. Anyone else having this problem ? Are these guys still in business ?

i saw this thread at webhostingcrap.com

looks like they been down for a while...

Uhm. That's a bit of a bummer. Though hardly surprising considering their servers are Microslosh based....

I use PaySystems and everything works fine for me. I couldn't access their site, but their Member Area and ordering system work fine. Infact, I just recieved a check from them today. I think their great !

Yesterday, payment system, mail, ticket system....the entire site and services. They're back up now....

MS database and they're canucks as well....god help us. I'm working on a backup plan as we speak.....

Look Sir! Being an MCT in Win2k Adv. Server, I have to stick up for Microslosh, umm...MSoft servers. They work all of the time... ummm... a lot of the time... umm.... a big portion of the time... ummmm.. some of the time..... well, AWWW HELL!! At least the interface is pretty!! You can pretend you have kids and looking at a teletubby interface on our Win XP machines!

They're down AGAIN !!! Are these people reliable or are they NOT !! I set my acccount to active, They tell me the will email me in 48hours after they check my links. Never heard from them. Go look at page all the links work. Go in today to open a TT and they are down AGAIN !!!
These people are holding up my going live, over and over and over.

I use 2checkout.. never had a problem with them..

They're up here, now.

I've used Paysystems for over a year and this is the first time there has been any problems with them. I'm a happy camper in spite of the short downtime last week.

They're up and it took me, when I tested it, 1 minute and 12 seconds to move from screen to screen when going through the payment system. I JUST got started, went with PS via the recommedations here and the timing couldn't be more perfect. I can't deal with this. This won't work. Not to mention they don't have 24x7 support. A company that size only available during business hours.

That's ludicrous. I'm moving off IMMEDIATLY to someone else and at this point, wouldn't recommend them to my ex-mother-in-law.

What bothers me even more, is it appears they have TWO problems. When their payment system goes down do does their main website and their email bounces.

OK, so I see they have a network problem. Then when I CAN get there I get database errors.

It would appear to me that they don't have any distribution. For example, from the onset, I've built that if my servers go down, customers can still contact me via email. Otherwise, how do you inform anyone of a timeframe to repair your problem.

It appears to me that PS hasn't thought through much of what they are doing, and offer TERRIBLE support and customer service. Terrible as in, none existant.

Even if I had been with them and service was great I'd have to ask them what the hell was going on. Guess I will put that paypal 'backup' method of payment in there after all. And thats it too...you'd think they'd email there clients, or on their site, when a client logs in they would explain the situation.

I don't know......I'm very wary of these guys right now.

Found in the MCC news. I can live with that, at least they're honest.

DDOS attack, pfft that'll show em for not having their servers at Rackshack

I certainly hope you were knocking wood as you typed that remark....

There, but for the grace of Jon Posner, go I....

Seems they're dead again...

They are up for me. I have been using them for over a year, and the past weeks outages have given me just enough reason to jump ship for my own merchant account. I went with www.modernauthorize.com and picked up a leased copy of modernbill. I'm still setting everything up, so I can't really judge yet. Everything has gone smoothly so far.

The shopfront is up but the actual payment pages are down - at least for me.

Try https://secure.paysystems1.com/

My payment pages are on https://auth.paysystems.com Maybe you can change yours from secure. to auth.?

Yes that seems to work. Thanks! Not very professional of them IMO.

That's why everyone should just use PAYPAL, like me!

I use Paypal as well - you can choose which one you prefer. I took Paysystems of for a couple of months just to see if it made a difference and ... it did. Big time. During the time I only had Paypal my sales were down at least 30-40%.

Paypal have done a great job alienating themselves to non-US citizens by the obvious differences they make, but that is another discussion.

I've never seen anything like this...They have to have people bailing on them like it's nobodies bidness...today they're up, down....all over the place...my links don't work then they do...

jebus !!
