    " A special thanks to the Swiftwill Hosting Team for their tireless effort in deciphering this attack and helping us to secure our servers and code.
    Swiftwill users can upgrade if they choose to, but they are already protected so no further steps are necessary."

    This is why I love Swiftwill. They are always looking out for not only their customers but also the entire industry. They seek out the exploits most hosts don't give two shits about and save the end user of software like Smart Thumbs countless dollars.

    Thanks Dweeks. I know you busted your ass finding the problem out more than anyone could ever realize.

        They are absolutely bar none the best at detecting exploits and then working with the software programmers wayyyyyy beyond what they should do. They are absolutely top notch in this department.

        Just icq the guys there if you need more hosting and they will make a good competitive offer for your business.

            Another software company that owes a lot to Swiftwill for finding its exploits and helping to close its doors.

              Hes fixed so many major scripts and never once boasted. His company is low key and its entire marketing strategy is simply word of mouth. He hosts some of the biggest sites out there. A very big host who cares about each of his clients like a mom and pop operation. I'm glad I host with Swiftwill.

                Well said Duke. You pegged them so right. Under the radar with a lot of people but they shouldn't be. First class host that looks out for you every single time. I wouldn't host anywhere else myself.

                  Well, the ghost-town web site probably doesn't get him many new customers... anyone want a Pentium 3 800MHz server (that's Pentium 3, at 800MHz not Pentium, 3800MHz) with 512MB RAM and 20GB HD?

                  http://www.swiftwill.com/dedicated.html



                  PS: I'm just ribbing, the important thing is that the ST exploit has been fixed. Hats off.

                      Gotta agree with you. Dweeks and crew are on top of shit for sure. I am never worried about going down thats for sure. I also love that they contact me if they see anything odd to them such as logins to scripts and such. Most of the time its just been me using the script in an odd way but they always like to be sure. Top notch.

                        Indeed swiftwill is great, dweeks is around whenever you need him, whether its 5am on a monday or 6pm on a saturday, i often wonder if he ever sleeps, because anytime i need him hes there, and usually on the situation before i even mention it to him. Im a proud swiftwill client of 5+ years. Swiftwill rocks, if your not using them, you should try them.

                              ahhhh yes the fantastic team at Swiftwill - Dweeks, Tristan, Michael, Ross, Dan, Troy, Matt, John and the list of professionalism continues to grow faster than I can keep up with. I too cannot say enough about Swiftwill and after hosting with them since 2003, I can go to bed at night and sleep soundly knowing that Dweeks and the crew are always sleeping with one eye open (I swear they do this).

                              BTW Nifield Dweeks sleeps in one hour bursts lol..... naaaa seriously now that Dweeks has surrounded himself with a talented crew he now leads nearly a normal life hanging out with family, friends and yes I believe he now sleeps for more than an hour at a time.

                              Our hats are off to the entire team and even more so to Dweeks, Tristan and Michael who's tireless efforts for several years have made the company what it is today. We would be lost without Swiftwill and their security

                                    I have to agree. We deal with several different web hosts every day and have for years.
                                    We've seen all different levels of security.
                                    The only way I know to make a server more secure than a Swiftwill server is to unplug it.
                                    They also found one of the two possible security issues ever found relating to Strongbox
                                    over the years.
                                    Pretty darn good customer service, too.

                                    I should mention that high security systems may take a little getting used to if you're
                                    accustomed to more typically run systems, but it's worth it if it keeeps your site from being
                                    hacked, and Swiftwill's support does a good job of helping with any transistion issues.

                                            Excellent news. Great decision for sure.

                                              We've seen all different levels of security.
                                              The only way I know to make a server more secure than a Swiftwill server is to unplug it.
                                              They also found one of the two possible security issues ever found relating to Strongbox
                                              over the years.
                                              Pretty darn good customer service, too.

                                              I should mention that high security systems may take a little getting used to if you're
                                              accustomed to more typically run systems, but it's worth it if it keeeps your site from being
                                              hacked, and Swiftwill's support does a good job of helping with any transistion issues.

                                              Well said Ray. No question they are a bit more hands on than other hosts but with their ever increasing support staff its never an issue and knowing that my sites are secure and running is worth the extra step or two required sometimes.

                                                I wonder if swiftwill would be willing to help the smart thumbs guys come up with some documentation for their script that isn't written in broken English. I'd definitely use swiftwill then. :D

                                                      Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                                      think about that

                                                        As a longtime Swiftwill client all I can say is, with so many years of ease of mind - I know they have me covered. I don't understand server problems, being down, coming to GFY to bitch about it - cuz I've never had to. Customer Service is important - in this industry it's VITAL - SwiftWill.com not only has it, but their entire reputation & systems are built on that.

                                                        I'm very proud of Swiftwill for their good deed... With that much security, clients who want peace of mind, stay forever. I've been down once because I put some code to take my server down - a few minutes later - they called me to ask what I had uploaded a few seconds before I took it all down

                                                        Here's a story that I will repeat just to show you how customer centric they are:

                                                        A few weeks ago...mmm...I forgot to renew a paysite domain *ok got confused with all the registerfly/enom/moniker transfers and renewals* Anyhow...I was away and on the date that it came due and the domain expired, I was flying back to Montreal. So I get off the plane and see 3 messages on my phone but didn't bother to listen thinking it was the airline confirming flight times and stuff like that. I get home and turn on the computer - ICQ/email/phone message to warn me that my domain expired and their servers warned them that there was a sudden decline in traffic. Besides me being retarded and forgetting to renew, how many of you have hosts that would do all that on a Sunday morning/afternoon to make sure someone doesn't jack your domain?? All I know of is one & I wouldn't change Swiftwill for the world.


                                                        Oh and the comment about their site (althought I know it wasn't meant to offend them) - yeah it's an antique by now LMAO but judging from the people they host, I'd venture to say that they based their decision on security, service, knowledge, ease of mind and not their fancy-dancy designer's capabilities

                                                              I was giving you shit. I love the script but there is so much I don't understand. I know the documentation probably covers it but parts of the documentation make no sense to me.

                                                              I minored in English and would be happy to rewrite the documentation for you. I might have some trouble writing documentation for something that I don't fully understand but I'm sure we could figure something out.

                                                                Swiftwill is an awesome host.. There has not been any security problems ever since i've been there.. Which is great, no headaches..

                                                                  Dweeks is the most annoying person I know - every time we install a new script he has to read the complete source and find some exploit or just something which he don't like and then he has to fix it himself...and I mean EVERYTIME and EVERY script we have he has made some customization to!

                                                                  YET we have been there for over 6 years, NEVER had a major security problem and the rewrites/fixes I talked about above saved us numerous times, we just moved a lot of our servers from Boston to NYC and they did everything for us without any problems?and we?re talking NATS, MAS etc?

                                                                  I could continue about the staff and especially how not only Dweeks but the whole swiftwill crew have been there when we needed them, even though we're on EU time, but I think most is already said

                                                                  So bottomline must be, that we can DEFINATELY recommend Swiftwill too - top notch!

                                                                    Another happy customer of swiftwill for over 2 years. I have 3 dedicated servers with them for my network of tgps and everything runs smooth and secured.

                                                                    In my 8 years in the biz, swiftwill is the only hosting company that so far has really given me zero downtime in 2 years, incredible support beyond their standard duties, and the best security on the top of that.

                                                                    Tristan and Dweeks are always available in ICQ (and i'm in Euro time) instead of doing what most of the companies do with the damn ticket systems that are answered like a week too late.

                                                                    I guess this kind of incredible support is thanks to their non advertisement politics. They take mainly big customers and not cheap guys with virtual accounts that are usually who take 90&#37; of the support time and pay just some $ per month.

                                                                    Huge thumbs up for Swiftwill.
