Subj: I'm still hoping not, but it's good to be prepared.

My ISP - Demon - offers Web Hosting Professional" at £20 per month (1GB space, 100GB Transfers/mth; Perl, PHP, Microsoft FrontPages, ChiliSoft ASP, MySQL database and SSL capability included), but that may be more than you want to pay, and you probably don't want a UK provider.

They don't seem to have ImageMagick.  I know that's rare, though, which is what makes this difficult. \:\)

At least it'll be relatively quick.  I moved the entire PVB to a computer at home.  Including the time it took me to upgrade PHP, install ImageMagick and Mysql, and copy the files and set up the database, it was about 2 hours.  And that's a MacOS X computer, which isn't at all similar to the server the PVB normally runs on - so I know it's very portable.

I removed it mostly because I didn't feel like looking up if Flashchat or Squirrelmail had vulnerabilities that could give an attacker access.  I'm pretty sure the board software doesn't, because it simply doesn't have that kind of access at all.


> Once again, can I express our appreciation for all the work you do on this site.

I just get really angry when someone's targeting it for destruction.  I never bothered anyone...I don't think...
