That doesn't really change anything, since the complaint was extraneous fees from enom - fees that namecheap doesn't transmit to their customers, at least not directly.

As a Domain Reseller, I prefer Resellerclub over Enom for domains. I use Enom for SSL and other non domain services though.
Their customer support is quick and seems to be US based for the most part or is not blatantly India.

My website got hacked (wordpress) the hacker seems to change almost every 6-12 hours, I removed everything off the FTP and it's still showing as hacked so I can only assume it's server side. I have hosting with Cool Handle, and they're being supreme dicks about it support side.

I have no idea what to do now, should I just switch hosting?

If it is shared hosting, there might be someone on the share who is compromised giving them access to the whole thing. There might also be something in your database so make sure that's okay. If their support sucks, it is a good incentive to move because there will be other problems eventually. What exactly is telling you that it is hacked?

Check your .htaccess file, hackers like to add poo poo 200 lines below what is visible so at a glance it looks empty.
Also, that file is usually hidden by most FTP clients by default, so you might not see it without making changes. You may use your file manager in the control panel to find that as well.
Any host worth the monthly payment should at least do that much for you since it is in their best interest to not host hacked sites.

I just checked that and that doesn't appear to be the case.

I'd also like to note that it's not the htaccess file because I've removed everything from the base of my website. That's all gone, it's still showing as hacked, now it's a really fancy hack page that has moving text, previously my website would show up behind it before moving to a white page with some text. So my domain register shows no redirects, there is absolutely nothing on the base of my website anymore, no wordpress, I'm convinced it has to be server side, though they still haven't gotten back to me on that.

If it's shared host, you could use a reverse DNS tool to see which other sites are on the same machine. See if they've been hacked too (i.e. if the entire machine has been compromised)

At this point I have nothing of my own on the ftp, except for the cpanel basics, no databases, no wordpress, nothing.

The website just shows some fancy hack stuff, it's awful and I'm pissed because after throwing out a support ticket they told me it was my wordpress, which I removed and that didn't make a difference. So I removed everything, still didn't make a difference and they haven't addressed my second support ticket. I'm going to have to do some research into better hosting services.

Yeah, it doesn't look like DNS. It looks like it's at the web server level. Every page on that domain is serving a redirect to another domain. Could be in your cPanel settings, your host's settings, or maybe something along the lines of htaccess. In any case you should probably just switch to another host if they're being so useless!

Since your site was hacked, you won't want to migrate anything. You're going to want to start out with a fresh new account. Install wordpress, create your email accounts and install your theme. You can backup and restore your database, but I would not trust any of the files that were in your old account without checking each and every one before uploading to the new server.

Best of luck to you!

Hundreds of times a day, from different IPs, all looking for that file / directory.

mydomain.com has been empty for years apart from an index.html.

I googled "vxxigg" and it turns out that there are loads of Chinese websites linking to http://mydomain.com/vxxigg/ with a caption about the benefits of eating raw food (:confused:).

Did someone just make a typo that keeps getting spread around? Could it possibly be anything to worry about? Can I do anything about it?

I used them for a few years. Their service was solid and fairly reliable, and their control panel was nice. However, it took them forever to update their poo poo (it wasn't until mid-2009 when they finally upgraded to MySQL 5!), and performance wasn't anything to write home about. Furthermore, they promised something called the Cluster Server for years that would succeed the Grid Service (better performance, more stable, etc.), but it never happened. I got fed up a couple years ago and migrated to Linode and haven't turned back.

Alright IIS newbie here with a vague question.

I've recently been pulled in to help with our web department's IIS woes. The web department being a single web developer with minimal server experience. We have a few dedicated IIS servers, not running in any kind of farm, as well as a hosted SQL database from our web host. One of our sites, our largest, has its own IIS box dedicated to it. It is 8Gb RAM, 4 virtual CPUs, 100Meg NIC. We are running IIS pretty much on defaults as I know the developer didn't tweak anything.

The site in question grinds to a crawl when we get a bit above 6000 concurrent users (650 GET/sec). It has gone as high as 16000 concurrent at times at which point the 100Meg NIC usually caps out and it gets even worse. NIC issues aside, we are trying to find out why this is happening around 6000, when the NIC is only about half-maxxed. Is that an unreasonable amount of traffic for a single IIS server? I know there are so many variables but just ballpark I'm talking. The site is a news site with images, advertisements, and articles. It pulls a fair bit from the SQL database which is hosted on another server, but during one of these slowdowns, the SQL database seems to respond quickly for other sites using it so that seems to imply SQL isn't the bottleneck.

It sounds like they are quitting business, by force maybe. This happened to webspacedepot.com a while back. I had rented a couple of VPS servers for DNS servers and one day my servers went down without notice and they never came back up. They were goon run or at least a goon worked for them and had a thread in SA-Mart.

I'm looking for a way to move stuff to my own server. Here's the thing: I have my own domain and I'm looking to get exchange server hosting set up for e-mail and calendar. And if I get one, will it be "turn-key"? Can I just point my domain to them and then start synching my crap or do I have to administer a shitload of stuff?

Any tips for a provider? Pref. in the EU but not a must if the speeds are alright.

Having a mindboggling DNS issue.

Just moved to a new host. I'm the server admin. All files are uploaded. 3 of 4 domain names working fine after DNS changes.

(please ignore the godawful no-fills design)

Domain 1: http://theditch.biz
Status: Works fine.

Domain 2: http://theditch.us
Status: Works fine.

Domain 3: http://theditch.com
Status: Appears to be an exact copy of theditch.biz despite having different content and files on the server. It has been several hours.

I have checked everything on .com about a hundred times. Both .us and .com don't have subdomains, so their DNS info on the server should be the same except for .com/.us, and they are. The file manager for .com on the server shows the right files. The registry (on godaddy) has my newly-created nameservers.

I will note that .com was formerly a subdomain of .biz, and thus had the same nameserver. Maybe somehow that change hasn't processed yet... but then why would it become a mirror of theditch.biz? And as I say, it has been several hours since the switch. Furthermore, theditch.us was also a subdomain on the same nameserver and it's fine after the change.

Where might I have gone wrong?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good email hosting service for a small business? Think like a 5 person real estate office. I've heard good things about google apps/gmail but we all use Outlook pretty extensively so I'm not sure it would be the best idea. Considering Office 365 as well but not sure if we need all the extra features that are built in to it. Would something like GoDaddy work? We aren't looking for anything fancy, but with our current hosting, we get bouncebacks for some of our outgoing emails because they are marked as spam by the incoming server.
