July 1, 2008 at 17:13About cheap hosting
I want to tell you a sad story about how I lost all my sites by contacting a cheap hosting provider.
This was my first project, which is now about 3-4 months old and I was looking for inexpensive hosting. He stopped on a dark horse inhoster.ru - 2 gigabytes of space and no limits on traffic and the number of sites. The site was embodied as a blog on Wordpress and a forum on PHPbb3. I spent quite a lot of time with him and all children for 3 months every day I tried to improve, refine, fill, promote.
What about hosting: yes, it slowed down and even sometimes lay in the evenings. Technical support responds with an average delay of 12 hours. I put up with this only because the portal had already grown to 1GB on the screw and the transfer was not the most pleasant thing, but I thought about it. And, as it turned out - not in vain.
One beautiful morning, I go to check my site and see
I am writing technical support. After some time (about a day) I get information that my account is blocked for spam. WTF ?! Why didn’t I know anything about this and without warning I get such a trick? After all, I did not do mailing, except for 300 notifications for users that my forum appeared, which happened 1 time!
As it turned out, delayed_send.php remained on the crown - a script that I set to send notifications to users, as I wrote. He didn’t have to constantly send something, because letters are sent only when you create a mailing list in the admin panel and send it - and this script simply provides for its processing and mailing with a delay. In fact, I used it only once and it has been a month ago. I won’t know where 40 thousand letters came from, about which TP writes to me: O.
“It makes no sense to me to engage in such garbage - I have a pretty decent portal. I ask you to provide access to all my directories and databases so that I can pick them up; ” and in response:
This is the story I got. It's a shame and even evil takes - after all, so much work has been put: 2 portals and a homepag disappeared. So, I hope, my experience will warn you against buying such hosting and suggest that you need to do backups more often. Maybe you will advise something?

Specify why you needed Exim and more than 40 thousand letters.
