UltraWebsiteHosting Account Suspended For Spamming
Jun 10, 2008
I found out why my website has been down for 8 days. I finally contacted someone at UWH and found that someone jacked my domain and spammed. So they suspended my account.
What really pisses me off is David Turner over at UWH has accused me of sending the spam. Even after I told him is was not me, he still accused me of sending the spam and threatened to bill my credit card for the spam fees.
I can tell you the $hit will hit the fan if he charges me anything and he had better stop accusing me of sending spam and appologize and it would be nice if THEY WOULD STOP THE SUSPENSION OF MY ACCOUNT!
I have a VPS account with WHP which is unmetered monthly transfer and a caped speed at 3 mbps, they saying that you are allowed to use %100 of the cpu:

My question is what would be a case that they may suspend my account?
Dear Customer, Due to unlawful activities on your VPS your Services at VPS Empire have been suspended. Please contact our helpdesk at http://www.vpsempire.info for more information. ...
My shared hosting account was suspended for tos violation (adult content was found..absolutely legal, by the way)
Now all my websites are inaccessible, my control panel doesn't let me in, I cannot get access to my content..
I read your FAQ now, I understand what I did wrong.
"On our shared-hosting it is strictly forbidden to host adult content. This type of content usually generates a lot of traffic and could cause prejudice to our shared hosting clients due to server overusage coming from such websites."
I didn't think my 200 visitors daily put so much loading on your servers but now I see my mistake.
Hi all. If you are a FSCKVPS member then be aware that you should NOT pay your invoices using their Paypal subscriptions.
Here's my story: My first monthly payment I made using a regular Paypal payment. Everything was ok. So I created a subscription the next month and was immediately billed by Paypal. Interestingly my invoice was still marked "UNPAYED" in the fsckvps system. So I opened a support ticket (10 days ago now). They forwarded it to their "Billing Level 2" departement and told me that they have problems processing Paypal payments that are subscriptions. Days went by and nothing happened. I received emails that my payment was overdue so I asked them again to please mark the invoice as "PAYED". Nothing happened.
Until yesterday they suspended my account!!! Ever since I'm trying to get my account back online. I even payed the invoice again (!!!) using a regular Paypal payment but that didn't help anything except that I'm paying twice for no service now. Nobody seems to care. I opened another ticket with support, hoping that another departement might be more helpful but the ticket was just again forwarded to "Billing Level 2". There's no phone number or anything to contact them. It's a shame, because I like their service and the technical support personnel has always been a great help to me. But not their billing people.
My host has suspended saying my server was overloaded and sent me a log to my mail and i don't have access to cpanel also. I just have a wordpress blog and when i had contacted host through chat they told some ip might be causing this issue so ban that ip when ur account is unsuspended.
But i am really unaware of how to find which ip is causing this issue as i have little knowledge on analysing logs. Any help regarding this is highly appreciated and please leave your suggestions for me.
I am pasting the logs that were sent by host to me in mail:

I would like someone more knowledgeable perhaps explain this.
I have an email address on my own domain that has existed for about 4 years now. About 5 weeks ago, the VPS it were on died and so the email went unresolved for about 3 weeks. I then transferred to a new VPS, and set up the email. About a week later, I moved again.
I left up the 2nd VPS for DNS propagation to take place. What interest me is that the server is still running about a week later, and the email server is still getting spam messages directed to it. So somehow, the spams are being send to the old IP, with a valid recipient, even when the most stubborn of DNS cache should have updated by now.
So it seems (some) spammers are just capturing email address and the IP for the server, storing it, and mass spam straight to those IPs instead of resolving the server.
some one is sending spam via my server, my server is a linux CentOS with Cpanel and the mail server has got problems . in Mail Queue Manager there are more than 1000Messages and new email are just waiting there to be sent or received.
I have checked /var/log/maillog and there is just some login and logout information of my users, and when checking /var/log/messages there are some messages of IPs that are connected and regular informations.
How I can trace which account is sending spams? and how can I stop spamming? it's about 2 days that my mail server situation is terrible!

For past one week, my wordpress based blog is just dead, becasue of heavy trackback/pingback spamming(500 a minute). I've tried various plugins, but to no avail.
In addition to stop spammers before generating PHP load, I've tried all possible HTACCESS rules, but to no avail. I truly sure, I've done something wrong.
May I request the experts here to advice on how to stop this ongoing spamming?
Well i generally mail newsletter and offers to my subscribers in different domain using 6 IPs in my domain but due to slowness and huge spam receiving from the sender domains i m now deciding to increase my IP to 20. In which i will be using 10 each IPs distributed in two domains.
Will it be good by doing this ? Will it stop the rate of spam? Will the domains where i m sending the mails block me ?
Recently I have seen lots of email activity. Most of the emails are being sent with php scripts which are run under apache. what I want is to catch the culprit domain
so the sender's return path in most cases is root@xxxxx as apache is running under root user.
The server runs plesk admin panel.
I know I can always inspect messages in the queue, qmhandle is good as well to do so. but is there any better way.
e.g. is there a way that instead of emails sent from php scripts with apache user domain name in return path and not root@server etc.
any tools to analyze this activity and then take necessary actions.
I have a few guys that keep spiking to about 30%+ cpu. This is fine if stops after 2 minutes from my tos but it keeps lasting for 30 minutes+ so I manually suspend them for about 10 minutes etc. are there any whmcs programs or addon's or any script in general that will suspend a user for 5 minutes if a large amount of cpu is being used?
i bought a server from HostingDepartment.net, I thought they were pretty good, They've been around since 1997, Although i've been waiting activation of the server, Today it has been suspended.
This Account Has Been Suspended Please contact the billing/support department as soon as possible.
Does anyone know whats happened with them? I also sent in a support ticket 2 days ago and didn't get a responce, Did they die down?
had a nice run with them for almost 3 years probably never had a problem until now; cancelled account today.
they suspended my domain (it was a free domain that came with the account) and service for hosting "pornography."
the abuse email says that i am violating
You agree and warrant that Your Data shall not violate any Laws concerning obscenity and shall not contain or link to any pornography, or depictions of bestiality, rape, sexual assault, violence, torture or disfigurement, or other content deemed objectionable by 1&1, in its sole discretion.
the link they sent me that was in violation was [mydomain]/index.php#HARDCORE_XXX_SEX_39948382_JPG.JPG
yes, a nonexistant anchor on a blank page. not an actual file. in addition to that; abuse/billing/etc is taking more or less a week to reply to my emails.
