anyone know anything about this ftpiframer(dot)org ip 91(dot)142(dot)64(dot)87?

Don't click to the site. I think he's on the assault. Just looking to see if anyone's dealt with him before.

He just got into a comus tgp script I was testing out on a different host. I'm unfamiliar with the new host's security. Should I be worrying about wordpress blogs because of this jack off too or are they more secure?

I didn't have this problem with my other host, but then I couldn't load scripts like comus either.

hard to say, because that depends on how he got in

I just whacked the entire domain now cause I hadn't developed the site anyway. I actually like that ept trade script, but I don't know enough about these scripts to be chancing them. I have more basic scripts that work just as well.

Guess I'll just keep my eye on the blogs I tossed over there.

The one thing I like about the other host is that it's almost impossible to hack the sites, but that makes it very limited on the scripting you can do, especially any of the auto install scripts

Thanks

It's all about getting the right host.

So far only two of the US hosts i have tried have shown they care about the customers and know what it takes to keep your site running and secure

Its:
FlyingCroc - im not with them now, because I dident own the site hosted by them, and they are to expensive for me
Phatservers - im not with them now, because they closed my servers while i was in the hospital. I do however not blame them. I think I would have done the same

I would recommend people to use phatservers - both for virtual and dedicated servers

Some of the hosts i would advice people to stay far away from:
Dreamhost - i don't think they can even spell security
Nakedhosting - worse support and stability i have ever seen. Cant even keep a $500/year virtual account running with 300 hits a day
Webair - I don't know who is in charge of support, but half of the people are clueless. The tech department simply cant keep the promises the sales-guys make

right now im hosting 99% of my sites on a LOCAL danish server. I still have a few sites on my nakedhosting account, but that is only a matter of time before I have moved them over.

LOL, dreamhost is where I got this problem from. I felt they were one step up from godaddy who I considered the worst support and customer concern around (though I have made some good cash with the sites I have on them due to their cheap bandwidth so I guess you get what you pay for).

Anyway, dreamhost seems cool as far as getting back to you and correcting mistakes, though so far I've only stuck my big toe in the water with them, but I will take your advice and look into those other hosts.

I do like paying for cheap hosts though because I've never failed to profit (and pay all my bills) using this technique, but I do plan on stepping things up so it's probably time to look into some quality hosting. Probably have to learn some new things about network admin though.

Thanks again

if you google "dreamhost" and "hack" or "infected" you see why they have a bad reputation

Phatservers virtual accounts are cheap, and they work. Not much more you could want

smutnut

Thanks again.

I'm going to check out both of these things
