Mangacool.net seems to have a big target painted on it by site exploiters this week.  Since changing the passwords didn't help (it was compromised again last night) I'm guessing this is a server-wide problem still.

While I'm fairly patient with problems like these, the banks whose fake sites have been repeatedly tagged onto this site (and seem to reappear as fast as I can delete them) have complained and are becoming rapidly more impatient.

That means I'm going to have to start at least looking for new, safer hosting within the next few days, because there's a very real chance this site may be involuntarily shut down (sadly the host would have to comply with any legal orders) if the exploitations can't be curbed.

So if anyone has any suggestions, please reply.  Any host I select would need PHP 5, ImageMagick, and MySQL, be very reliable, and not too expensive.  The PVB currently takes up about 800 megs.

P.S.  Even if the site itself is shut down I could relocate only the PVB to one of my other domains.  The board itself has been relatively safe.  I just hate having to email everyone with a new domain address.

P.P.S.  I've removed all software from the site that's not of my own design, including the New Lair Legion Living Room.  It's not suspect, it's just easier to control what's on the site if I know every inch of it.




I have no suggestions. I'm pissed off and depressed about other junk right now, but when it comes to the board I'm tired of the crashes and other glitches. I welcome the move.
I wish I had some ideas, but I really have very little to add.
I know that the Raving Toy Maniac and Fwoosh both were hit hard at times so those ideas won't help.
Absolute Write never goes down and I never have problems there even though I use Internet Explorer. Maybe that host is an answer? But I don't know who hosts them.
Anyway, let us know. I'll be glad for the change.
(It just crashed again when I tried posting this. Why do I even try?)
