Forum Downtime

Hi all

Apologies for the downtime after the last few days.
Several of the sites I run got compromised over the last few days by hackers with nothing better to do and this has lead to periods of downtime.
I have not put much effort into fixing it as I was planning to move the site to a new server over the next few weeks.
However given the recent compromises and downtime my plan to move to a new server has been moved up and will hope to move to a new server over the next week or 2

Hi Darragh,

As a matter of interest, which ISP/server is the site (or your hacked sites) being hosted on? One of my sites, hosted on a HostIreland server got hacked goodo a couple of years ago, including resetting the admin login and the database. Thankfully no repeat hacks since then. Just wondering if any particular hosting company is being targeted over another.

Thanks for your continued hard work in keeping this site up and running.

All the best,

Phil.

Aside from Darragh's hacking issue, I have had some clients using Digiweb's service have their websites hacked in the past 2 or 3 months.

Hi Philip,

It is a dedicated server with SoftLayer.
The new server is virtual machine with Blacknight which can expand as capacity is required.
