JUOT.net server hacked...

**BirdOPrey5** · 03-01-2012, 07:41 AM

So it looks like my other forum, JUOT.net is offline. The entire server (it's on a shared server) seems to have been wiped out... Now we get to see if the backups the web host promised really work. Let's hope so.

I was debating on upgrading Qapla.com to 4.1.11 today but I might hold off- I don't want both forums down at the same time, even if only for a few minutes.

this is just to drum up more traffic here, I know

Actually I was getting pretty decent traffic anyway... Hey do you know how/why you got "A, A" in for your location during registration? I have been deleting people with that figuring they were spammers but obviously not... whoops.

Joe, OOC, who do you use for hosting and what do they charge?

We are on a Gold shared hosting package from URLJet. They charge $25 a month but are well known as the best web hosts for vBulletin forums- they specialize in vBulletin hosting. On any other host we'd already have need for a VPS or dedicated server costing several times as much per month,
