I've been handling the design and updates for a local private school for a few years now. They use HostOnce for hosting. Over 2 weeks ago I noticed that when I try to bring the site up in a browser I get a login prompt - [url]. I've submitted several help desk tickets to HostOnce with no response. Since school is starting, I recommended the school change hosting providers. So they bought hosting with GoDaddy who I also use. But now I need to transfer the domain name and I can't get a response from HostOnce. I send an email requesting that they initiate the domain transfer to GoDaddy every day with no response.
Besides a few email addresses and the help desk, there doesn't seem to be any way I can get in touch with anyone at HostOnce. What options do I have left? The school is currently stuck with a site that can't be accessed. The company seems to be in Australia but I've read the phone number listed for them does not work. I'm looking for a US phone number or something.
I just when found this domain on google when I was make some search of content of my site I found domain as a parked domain and work for my site!
so I go to cpanel and parked domain but not found any thing
so what this mean how someone have parked domain for my site and when i go to cpanel noting foudn also when I go to whm and accoubt listed I don’t find that domain?
I came across this website from doing research on new webhosts as my current host, HostOnce, has completely disregarded all of their customers.
My site, Aero247, has been done for over 15 days and there are absolutely no signs that it will be brought back up and running anytime soon. I've submitted numerous support tickets and have yet to receive any answer from the joke that is tech support.
When I login to my FTP server, there is a folder titled "Delete and recreate your FTP account." I've done that numerous times and that folder is still there, and nothing else is! I can't delete that folder or upload anything to the server.
If you do a quick Google search for "HostOnce review" you'll notice that I am not the only one having the problems.
Stay away from HostOnce at all costs! I now have to completely rebuild a site that I've been working on for five years.
I wanted to get out of the contract with them for a long time ago. I think it was october 2006. I asked them I wanted to get out of the contract, but they told me I had to stay with them until october 2007, since they had already extended the contract ( without asking me. ) I contacted them October 2007, and then they said I only can get out the contract after March, since (again) the contract was extended. Now, I contacted them to get out the contract, I posted the message, at their helpdesk and sent email to the billing department. No reply for a week.
I just need to switch the host. My newhost is helping me, but unless they relese my domain, I can't switch. and they don't give me the authorization code. Hostonce is terrible host.

This is the second time this week that my website was hacked. On the first hack attempt they somehow got into my cpanel and corrupted my license file which I had my host fix. Other than that the only damage done was an html file that replaced my main page. Then today, I find that my website has been further compromised, but by a completely different group. The first hacker was g3n3t1x and this second hack was done by www.turkishdefacerteam.com
Now, the problem is my sites dedicated IP is 72.36.192.150, and my domain name is gamingguilds.net, but if you resolve the domain name, it resolves to 74.53.52.66. I have checked my nameservers and everything is set properly. But the thing I don't get is that when you type in my domain name in a web browser, you see my website. How can it be resolving to the wrong IP and STILL show my website. Also note that when you type in my dedicated IP it would still show my website (before this second attack).
Now after the second attack, my dedicated IP no longer works, I cant get into cpanel using the IP, I cant get into my FTP account, and I get view my website. Yet if you use the domain name to log into cpanel or view the website it works. The strange part here is that I can't get into the FTP using the domain name.
SO, if you go to [url]you see a blank cpanel site, if you go to [url] you get a 404 error, and if you go to www.gamingguilds.net you get my website.
I found out that there were some hidden iframe tags injected on my website. So I grepped and cleaned all html files. Am I supposed to change my ssh/sftp password as well? Is there anything else I'm supposed to do?
My hosting provider has told me that my server has been "fully rooted" and the only way to fix it is a reinstallation from scratch. That is very frightening to me because it will take a lot of time to set-up again and this will cause major downtime.
Is there no other way to resolve the issue without reinstallation?
--------------- Quote from hosting provider ---------------
">> Does this mean that my passwords do not need to be changed?
Server is fully rooted, and will need to be reinstalled. Leaving the server online is a very, very serious risk for you. Let me show you some of the powers the hax0rs have at this time from their upload/hax0r script.

Is it possible that someone on the same network as my server (shared hosted, freebds) could somehow cause my traffic to be diverted to a new url after visitors landed on my website?
I assume this person has access to my home PC also and is reading what I type here etc. Has the ability to allow domains and IP's and divert others on my server, IS in the position to know who to allow and deny (my affiliates, customers etc IP's are recorded etc)
IF this was possible, how would I be able to catch this person out?
Where would I look for evidence of this and what am I looking for?
I don't manage my DNS and asking my server host (my suspect hosts with them too) gets a reply like: I don't understand what your asking? Do you need webaliser stats?
How would someone be able to do what I'm guessing is happening: That people can land on my site.. however, this guy can than redirect them to his own paying page. If I set a link here to my site..he'd soon add its domain to "allowed" etc etc.
I'm thinking I need access to server access to my dns, login info and Last Modified details on those file. I don't have these. I don't know what I'd be looking at if I had them.. and my server tech hasn't offered to look at such things.
My interest is more than intellectual.
Until last weekend my 2 1/;2 year project that has grown in sales volume beyond my expectations. I had had no contact with this person for 8 months and in that time sales where consistent. I Had changed all accesses, IP etc etc. I used to host with him. Then moved hosts since I didn't trust him (same problem back then - sales fell to nothing but traffic grew) moved to my current host.. not long after find HE is now on that host too.. now after I have contact from him again, sales have gone flat without any explanation, even though traffic has increased! 1:300 has become 1:10000 and I have checked everything site side (I'm a webmaster for over 10 years)
I'll be ruined very shortly and I don't know what to do.
I have been with HostNine for almost a year now and have had reasonably decent service, until now.
They recently suspended one of my client's accounts. Understandable, the account had some very old PHP files on them. Let me preface this by stating that I am very sympathetic to hosts who have to deal with problem clients who have sites that slow down shared servers for everyone else on them.
I have tried my hardest to work with HostNine to get these files back and ensure that this account is not a problem on their server. I have never once asked for them to restore the account "as is", all have I have asked is that they backup the files and the database for me (I would do it myself, but they locked me out of the account), so that I can investigate the problem and do testing to ensure that it doesn't cause them problems again.
All in all, getting anyone to co-operate has been unsuccessful. Getting a hold of them has been a hassle (from the time I e-mailed them about the issue to the time I received my first response was a span of over 6 hours). Getting them to co-operate has been impossible. Their "Support Manager", Alex, in broken English has told me next to nothing, aside to accuse me of trying to "get around this" and that I would need to move the account to one of their dedicated plans. I have asked that the account simply be backed up, but have not received any response so far, as time ticks away and the client whose account this was becomes more and more frustrated as their files are effectively being "held hostage".
My last complaint is that they never notified myself, nor the client that they had suspended the account.
Has anyone else had problems with trying to get their files back after a host has locked you out of your account? What are my options? Does the hosting company technically "own" the files, simply because they are being hosted on their server?
I keep having certain domains being hijacked and mass emails being sent from them somehow. I've disabled mail within domain control panel for each domain and issue keeps occurring. I've limited # of emails as well to 2-5 per hour but now so many are trying to be sent from my server it is clogging up mail queue and I have to log into server via ssh and run postsuper -d ALL every day or two. It is very frustrating. The only way I can stop it is to disable domain in plesk panel but that is not an option.
What can I do to find the cause of this issue and stop it?
i have set email for some domain to catch all setting. After some time i have a lot of bounce, redirect and rected email to address. How come my email accounts are hijacked and what to do to prevent such things in case of catch all setting.
Here it is noteworthy catcth all used to attract a lot of spam.
I am renting a 384mb Plesk VPS, have 1 client website on it, and it was hacked. Someone set up a new user with root access and was attacking other networks including dictionary attacks. My host has cleaned up the mess. I suspect access was gained thru a weak password choice or thru a Wordpress hack.
The client website ran a php/mysql survey script sometimes with 20-25 simultaneous users, and about 5-10% were unable to complete the survey due to screen freeze up or time outs. I'm trying to get to the bottom of these errors and know that some of the problems were client side but could the attacks also have affected connectivity & website performance?
2 days ago i noticed my cpanel hardisk usage was a lot more then it should be, after looking around i found out my inbox was 400mb (82143)emails!! i don't use any of the cpanel email because i have them set to forwarding. all the emails are spam and i discovered a few emails using my domain (that i did not create) that are valid and when i email them it reaches this cpanel inbox
So how bad is it? have i been completely comprised or is someone managed to get some type of spaming access only?
I have a server with about 100 domains on it in Plesk. I have about 10 or so clients that pay me a pittance to host their site and the rest are various domains that have been parked.
About a week ago we received a "too many connections" error when accessing Plesk. This is our server and it sits at The Planet (formerly EV1). I cranked up the mx connections to 1,100 or so following some web tutorial but I'm really a complete idiot when it comes to this server stuff. (I'm more of a php / html kind of guy).
I check out logs and it appears that someone has been trying to access a bunch of celebrity images that shouldn't exist on our server. It's clearly spam of some kind. I can't seem to actually find these images on my server anywhere, but I've got a feeling that foul play has been involved.
Well, this is rather weird. I cant tell if this is a server error, or a hack.
Basically the contents of the thumbnail directories for videos, games and pictures were deleted, at 3pm today (according to the ftp time stamp). All those folders were chmodded 777, to allow PHP to upload the images into them.
My cpanel server has an intruder who brought all the sites down. I did my best to harden the server a year or so ago, but...
I got an email from one of my scripts:
SUBJECT: [hackcheck] kill has a uid 0 account
IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email. This message is to inform you that the account kill has user id 0 (root privs). This could mean that your system was compromised (OwN3D). To be safe you should verify that your system has not been compromised.
To say the least, the server was compromised. I cannot find the user "0" or "kill" in WHM, but under "Wheel Group Users" "kill" is listed under "Add a user to the wheel group."
Any help or insight would be appreciated! Anyone proficient at hardening servers and exorcising hackers?
I uploaded the latest chkrootkit and ran it. The results say it's clean.
Any thing I can do to stop this (for example by hiring server management company)???

I have a new server and I have hardened it with csf+lfd. It's about 65/70 in the cfs score.
This morning, I noted that lfd log sent me an email saying there is a SSH login via 207.210.233.128 on 10th May 2007. I am not sure whether it was a successful login or not?
Here is the output: ================= Time: Thu May 10 01:31:52 2007IP: 207.210.233.128 (Unknown)Account: rootMethod: password authentication ========================
I know for sure that I did not login my SSH yesterday.
However, when I logged in SSH this morning, it says in telnet that my last login was from my own home computer's IP, so from that it looks like no one else has logged in SSH since last time I logged in myself.
Was my server intruded or was lfd just playing up?
how I can find out what page they have changed? It is a php file with loads of includes etc. Not sure where to look! Or could it be a redirect or something?
Everyday someone keeps coming in and deleting all my accounts. I do have them saved, but I cannot figure out how they are doing it.
I have followed the tips on the forum for locking down VPS. We have restriced SSH logins to our IP, we have checked all directories for ones that are 777 and changed them, we have moved the server to a different IP address.
So I'm interviewing with a company and when I typed in the URL to their website, I was met with a nasty surprise: a "hacked by so and so" message! However, after looking closer, I see that I had accidentally appended a period (".") to the end of the domain name, for example: http://www.example.com./
When I removed the period, the site appeared as normal. I don't know anything about the server other than it's IIS. Is there anything I can suggest to them when I go in to interview? I'd like to point this out to them; it may even help my chances at landing the job! (It's not related to networking, though.)
Now, first of all... I'm not sure if this is a problem with WHMCS or some other piece of software with a security hole, but I thought I should post here.
Our WHMCS got hacked earlier today and the hacker sent out a to be honest, unacceptable email to all clients, I won't go into detail but lets just say it directly insulted them.
Now apart from ruining our reputation and client relationships, I am now completely paranoid that it will happen again. I'd also like to know how it happened in the first place. The hacker signed up for a hosting account, and then sent the email. I have no idea how he/she did it, but when I look at the admin log in WHMCS, it shows the username "hacked" as logging in (see image).http://img378.imageshack.us/img378/2560/hackedmh9.png
Just a warning to everyone out there. His IP address was 86.132.228.82.
A client's site was hacked last week and spyware or some kind of trojan was put on it. I found some files that didn't belong in the images folder and proceeded to delete them, however, when I submitted the site back to Google for review, the report came back saying there was still malware on the site. They didn't provide me with the location of the spyware, so what can I do to find it and delete it?
Out of the three websites that were hacked the hacker left a get.php file in the root and i decided to see what it was and i ran it. To my shock and horror it gave me all the different types of people hosted on the server and it also gave me their database passwords etc...
Now each time i ran it, it gave me different results of different users on the server each time with a long never ending list. I just couldnt believe my eyes a simple short written php script showed me a lot.
Now im not a PHP guru but this is quite serious and ive notified my web host showing them my findings. I was quite astonished it showed me passwords in peoples configs.
Now my question is... is this something new or old and that my web hosts forgot to look into that area...? I mean its a php script thats all.
One of my clients has just sent me a bounced email to an address she had never heard of. This made me suspect my server had been hacked and was being used for a scam.
Sure enough, I found a file in one of my folders, that was related to a Bank of America scam.
I have since put a password on this folder. But does anyone have any advice on how to secure the site to prevent this happening again? It is a shopping cart and the 'rogue' file was in the admin area of the shopping cart.
SOme one has claimed that he has penetrated my server and has gathered some kind of information via shell access, I have disabled the possible ways of shell access for the users via twaek settings, and php.ini
- How I can check he has made any backdoor for himself or not? and I have made a trojan check via Scan for Trojan Horses in WHM, and it has found about 200 possible trojans.
