Story with the freehost.
We stopped accepting new members months ago, and the thing was slowly dying off (as I wanted to just let it die on its own over the next 12-18 months as people stopped using it).
The problem that happened was our fault because there was a bug in our adduser code that allowed someone to hack the server. Some asshole deleted /home/sites/* and redirected 404 to his/her intergal account. We have the information regarding how he got in and the intergal information and its been forwarded onto the appropriate persons.
Anyhow, someone ICQ'd me saying his site was 404'n, and the second i logged into the machine i saw what happened and shut the server down. It hasn't responded to http request in weeks, it simply times out.
