just a quick show of hands

have you ever been hacked?

meaning your website being compromised etc..

i've had my 'puter hacked before...never a website. I would be extremely pissed at my host if that happened. Even worse a clients website!!!

it happens....a real mess too

Yeah you were down there for a while Daniel. YE Blogger was fine except for the images/css etc.

Did you workout how they managed to hack it? (or perhaps your host)

yeah...the host got cracked

this particular hacker targets hostgator.com....apparently

i dunno how he did it

he stole heaps of bandwidth during the 3 days that he had

i have no idea what he used it for, but he maxed out well over 100 gigs

I use network solutions...there advanced package is awesome. The only thing I have a problem with is only 6 databases allowed. I never have to worry about security with them....they're the "big dogs." In fact I think only GoDaddy does more business then them.

I should be getting paid to say this! I am gunna go check and see if they have an affiliate or referral program.

Thats the second upset hostgator.com have given us - I don't know why you stick with them - I would have dropped them like a hot potato
