Offer: web hosting and email

I just want to let the couple of you who have hosting through me that the reason these sites are not accessible is because of a BIG WOOPS on the part of SBC (the telecom). Basically they *attempted* to do an upgrade this morning and something went wrong...to say the least:

*Looks like we also have some script kiddies who mucked up forums here...Admin Team: get that forumdisplay.php replaced with a backup! (It also appears the hosting company isn't a very secure one for such a low level attack ...that or a vulnerability within vbulletin itself.

Working on it - patience young padawan.

Forumdisplay.php and others were being replaced with new files even as you were typing. :) I think we've got things under control. Matt has done an excellent job of getting the forums back on track without having to revert to backed-up databases and losing new posts and member registrations.

I didn't figure that this weak of an attack would do anything to the DB...it is kindy scary though at least from my view that such a simple thing as this was successfull.

I don't know if anyone is considering a new site anytime soon or not but I thought I would give one last "push" before the offer gets put on hold for a while. If anyone IS considering and would like to act on the offer I have open I would ask that you act within the next day or two. I can be contacted by email to answer your questions or if you are ready now and would like to request to be setup.


*I leave for 2 weeks of training this coming weekend, following that I will be headed to Ft Dix where my National Guard unit will be training up for a SecFor mission in Iraq. This is subject to change but as of now this is happening. I don't know if/when I will have internet access but I will get it somehow, untill then I will not be able to setup new accounts...if I am even able to continue new accounts overseas, I will have to play it by ear once there. I will continue to support current users as best I can throughout the deployment.

**If you have deployment questions or well wishes please use an appropriate thread.

Update: unfortunately or fortunately depending on who you ask I am NOT deployable so I guess I'm not going overseas now.

Offer still open.

This offer is still open email if interested Heath@warrenreptiles.com :)

Thanks to those emailing me with interest in the offer, if there is something specific you are looking for all you have to do is let me know and I can incorporate it. I hope to be re-doing the stats system in a week or so with the priority being existing users.



**If by any chance a mod could clean up some of the posts in this topic I would appreciate. I have a few off topic posts myself in here and just wondered if it could be cleaned up, if so thank you.

Bumping this up again. Alot of new folks here who may be looking to share their hobby on the web or have that cool email address at your own domain. Others of you that are building up your collection and starting into the breeding season may be looking show what you have available or up and coming. Look no further, I can set you up in a flash and if need be design a custom package just for you. Whatever you need to get your site up and running I can provide.

Contact me via IM, PM, or directly via email.

Thought I would run a little bit of a "Holiday Special" In working with someone who needs two seperate sites hosted and I've offered them a deal that I am opening up to everyone. For a limited time (unknown end date) I am offering to setup TWO hosting packages for $100. This is $10 off the regular current price of $60 for reptile related hosting packages. So if you are thinking about your own site get with a friend who may also be thinking about it and save even more!

Directions:
Please email me directly with your name and the name of the person you are pairing up with for this deal. BOTH individuals should email me naming their partner for verification purposes and both must pay before the domain names are secured and setup on my server.

Any other questions please review my ad here on bp.net and/or the details of my hosting service on my website. I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Just a reminder: this is for hosting ONLY, not for actual website design.


Thanks and happy holidays!
