Thanks for hosting with Cyber Wurx!

What follows is a lovingly-prepared explanation of everything you need to know as a Cyber Wurx hosting customer. This includes information from how to contact our support department to how we bill your account at the end of the month. We know there's a lot to read, but we've tried to make it as painless as possible. This stuff is important, so bear with us.

If anything is unclear, our Support Department is always happy to clear things up.

This article is in the process of being written, please excuse our mess!


Using the Customer Center

Our Customer Center is the main portal for all of our Cyber Wurx services support requests. From here you can:

  • Submit support requests
  • View status of past and current requests
  • Access traffic statistics
  • Manage your account
  • Request services and upgrades
  • pay your bill

You can access the Customer Center at https://customer.cyberwurx.com

Log in using your username and password from the e-mail you received after signing up with us.

Service and support requests submitted using the proper forms in the Customer Center are expedited. Typically, service orders are completed within 1-24 hours, whereas e-mail requests can take up to 1-3 days

The capabilities of the Customer Center are different based on account type. For further information, please see one of the articles below:


Traffic Data

Bandwidth usage graphs are now viewable directly from within the Customer Center for all customers.

Managed account types have additional information, including breakdowns of traffic by domain, available in the Stats menu of the Customer Center.


Shipping to/from the Datacenter

Shipping to and from the datacenter is handled through the Customer Center via the "Send us equipment" and "Have us send you equipment" forms respectively.

Shipping Items to the Datacenter
Fill out the "Send us Equipment" form via the Customer Center
If your package is not clearly addressed as per the instructions in the shipping form, Cyber Wurx will refuse the package.
If we have not received a "Send us Equipment" form, Cyber Wurx may refuse the package.
Due to space limitations, we cannot hold packages for customers for more than two weeks.
If instructions have not been provided two weeks after an item's arrival, that item will be moved to long-term customer storage and a $10/month/package storage fee will be applied to the account.
Shipping Items from the Datacenter
Fill out the "Have us Send You Equipment" form via the Customer Center
We use FedEx as a carrier for shipping and equipment packaging services. If you wish to use another carrier, please make arrangements for them to package and pick up the equipment from our facility.
Shipping costs will be billed to your account
For insurance and liability reasons, Cyber Wurx staff will not package customer equipment.

Password Retrieval

Forget your password? No sweat!
Go to https://customer.cyberwurx.com and use the "Click here to retrieve your customer center password" link near the bottom of the page.
This will prompt you for two things:
Cyber Wurx Account Name
Billing Zip Code
After entering this information, your current Customer Center password will be e-mailed to the e-mail address we have on-file.

Support/Consulting Fees

Support or consulting outside the scope of what is included in your account type is available, but will incur our standard $1.00/minute Billable Time labor fee.
If any request you submit would incur this type of fee, our support department will confirm that you are aware of these associated fees before proceeding.

Account Administration

Updating Personal and Contact Information

It is very important to keep all personal and contact information up-to-date and accurate. By doing so it assures that our records are current, complete and accurate. Please be sure to keep the following information up to date:

  • Change of e-mail address
  • Change of payment method
  • Change of address
  • Change of phone number
  • Change of ownership of the account
  • Change of credit card information

If you need to update any of this information, please log into our Customer Center and make the necessary changes.

Account Cancellation

Phone and e-mail requests are not an acceptable method of cancellation for security and validation purposes.

To insure that your account is no longer billed and properly removed from our web servers, please use the following form:

https://customer.cyberwurx.com/?z=html_cancel_account

If you have lost your password, please refer to the section on Password Retrieval

Billing and Payment

How to Contact Billing Department

Due the volume of billing related requests as well as authentication purposes, all billing related questions or updates must be done via the Customer Center or email.

Contact our Billing Department at:
https://customer.cyberwurx.com/?z=html_billing_order
Billing orders received through the Customer Center are expedited.
billing@cyberwurx.com
Please be aware that E-mail requests can take up to 1-3 days. If at all possible, use the Customer Center instead.

As always, if you have misplaced your Customer Center password, please check out the password retrieval function in the Customer Center.

How Billing Works

All hosting accounts are based on a month to month prepay basis.

Our billing cycle runs from the 1st of the month to the last day of the month.

Your first invoice will be pro-rated from the signup date. Future invoices are typically emailed on the 15th of each month and due on the 1st of the month.

Monthly invoices can be viewed and printed from https://customer.cyberwurx.com/?z=html_view_invoices

Paypal Payments

Paypal - http://www.paypal.com

Paypal ID: - billing@cyberwurx.com

A 2.9% handling fee + .30 cents will be applied to Paypal payments and carried over to your next invoice. An additional 1% cross border fee will be charged for payments outside of the United States.

We do not offer Paypal subscriptions since the amount due is subject to change each month. We do however email invoices approximately 2 weeks in advance of the actual due date to allow you ample time to remit payment via Paypal.

Security Advisory

As a colocation customer, we ask that you please be active in maintaining the security of your infrastructure. This means being careful about the handling of all sensitive information, such as passwords and ip addresses, making note or possibly documenting all changes you make to the infrastructure. We additionally ask that you be proactive about maintaining basic security on your systems using whichever package management system is provided with your operating system to ensure you have the most recent bug and exploit fixes.
