Good day Valuable members,
At the moment, about 40% of accounts in server has been notified about the need to move out. Kindly help to speed out in moving out your sites. Of course, there would be time for you to find a new host for your site(s). I’ll only start to clear away the accounts on 15th July 2008, for this first round of moving/clearing.

There will be no backup copy retained for all cleared away accounts. So, please perform your backup and retain your data. Also, as usual, all abandoned and un-attended accounts will also be cleared away from server.

After this, there will be further trimming down of sites in server, I’ll let remaining members know as soon. Also, server might be closed down if situation doesn’t improve.

Thanks for your kind understanding. It’s a pain for me to take such decision after 2years+ …

Thanks

Hi everyone,
Would like to let our members know that due to the frequent hackers’ attacks, our network’s revenue has been greatly affected. In fact, we are suffering losses from these frequent attacks. The losses has been occurring for few months although I’m still trying to maintain the network. However, starting from this month, I could no longer afford to maintain all servers expenses.

With this in view, I would like to let our valuable members know that the main server will be downgraded to much lower spec. It is a pain-staking decision which I hate to take. But this is unavoidable, as I could no longer afford the current servers cost.

As soon as this week, main server will be downgraded to a small VPS, from current dedi server. With the downgrade, I truly foresee there could be lot of downtime for all sites in the main server. If you would like to move your site out, please get all your data as soon.

If the losses continue, I do not rule out the possibility of closing all sites in this main server. So please perform your own backup and/or move your site(s) out if you like, as soon.

I’m truly apology in reaching this decision. Do understand that the frequent attacks has caused much negative impact and resulted this.

For some accounts, I’ll inform the member if we need other arrangement or if it needs to be moved out. Example, site(s) currently using high resource that this downgrade to small VPS could no longer support.

Sincerely,
James … … working on
* Other sites not in main server are not affected, as I already have other arrangements.

Hi everyone,
Would like to notify everyone that we are stepping up accounts screening and tightening security synchronizing in server environment. This is mainly due to concern on numerous attempt of hackers intrusion lately.

We have cleaned up accounts that had been injected with trojans , deleting accounts that are ‘parasite’ , and those using our server to generate some other suspicious activities.

With these latest developments and issues, I would like to let visitors know that new account acceptance are currently put on-hold, indefinitely, until situation clear out. All new accounts will be rejected unless it’s refer by our current member. This will help to ensure that new account are ’safe’ and not of suspicious ’somebody’ which might just use our server for undesired activities.

If you need free hosting with almost the same functions and feature that I offered, you could get it at :-

Meanwhile, if you have folder(s) with permission 777, you are required to protect it ! Please refer to your script developer if you need to know how to protect it, or u can use htaccess file to protect it ( but it’s not 100% safe from injection ).

Also, all members are strongly advised to keep backup copy of their sites. Although server has backup performed periodically, it would be wise to keep your own backup copy in your computer, just in case if undesired incident happen.

Thank you for your kind understanding.
James
