The build has been saved in cPanel all I have to do click the “Build Profile Now” button and in about an hour or so it will be done. I figure Sunday @ 11pm is enough of a notice to everyone. Will post again once complete.

EDIT: All done! http://wp.ly/Ci

An account was using excessive load. I have a screenshot showing the load at 75. Everything is returning to normal as I type this.

This includes wordpress, e107 and any other cms, blogging tool. I’ve posted time and time again to keep your cms or blog updated but it doesn’t seem to be working. Keeping CMS / Blog Software up to date and WordPress Attacks happening now! That is why I’ve added this new fee..

In total I’ve fixed three accounts at this moment, the latest being another forum.

If any of your accounts have problems before contacting me make sure your files are not chmodded to 777 or 666. suPHP doesn’t like this instead leave them as 755 or 644.
If at this point your site still doesn’t work send in a support request and I’ll get it fixed asap.

As you may have noticed throughout the past week the vps has experienced massive http floods. Preventative measures have been put in place. These measures are being updated frequently as the attacks persist.

Right now if one ip has 50 or more connections it is banned for thirty minutes. In most cases I have permanently banned them. As with everything there can be false positives. So if you can’t connect to your website please fill out the Support Form and your ip address will be unbanned..

I will post more updates as they come..

UPDATE #1 @ 9:56pm The server was rebooted as the new changes that were implemented today don’t seem to be doing anything.
The server techs don’t know if this is a software or hardware issue. The data centre is going to run tests and we should have a definitive answer soon.

Yes it looks like yet again we are moving. Were not moving hosting companies just going to a smaller vps. Since I don’t pay for the server anymore it’s been a tough time for the person who took over. The only feasible way to keep things going is to move to a vps (virtual private server).

A move date has not yet been set but from what I was just told it will be by the end of this month.

Reading this over it looks like I’m telling you a lot of nothing.. I’ll post more details once I know them..

EDIT on Feb. 23rd @ 8:16pm Looks like it might be by the end of the month, settled on a 100GB vps. More soon.

EDIT on Feb 25th @ 4:46pm The new vps is setup, currently transferring accounts over. The nameserver ips will not change. Currently transferring the nogs00 reseller. More to come..

EDIT on Feb 25th @ 5:03pm Just finished manually transferring all the packages.

EDIT on Feb 25th @ 5:46pm PHP has now been compiled with version 5.3.1. Transfers start soon, unlike what was mentioned above.

EDIT on Feb 25th @ 6:21pm Account transfers have begun, so far only nogs00, and alphades. More soon..

EDIT on Feb 25th @ 6:41pm 19 accounts have been transferred so far.

EDIT on Feb 25th @ 8:27pm 43 accounts have been transferred at this time. The resellers dmlanger, mint and root’s accounts will be transferred tomorrow. This will be the last update tonight.

UPDATE BEFORE SLEEP: Turns out I was doing it wrong, thanks to some quick googling even me being half awake can fix the problem.. Now every php script run will show as your user account and not “nobody”. Which in short makes the server secure.

Too bad I didn’t know sooner or I would have mounted the drive and setup the backups..

Backups run daily, and I’m trying full backups at the moment. The backups have already run for the night as I haven’t changed the server time yet.. More soon.

Sorry for the short notice but I just learned about this myself! It is currently 5:15pm so in another hour and 45 minutes.
