It is wild!

I have received a number of PM's regarding the Preachers Forum.

It was hacked last week by a spammer and used to send out thousands of Nigeria scam emails.

I won't bring it back online until I can upgrade the forum software, soon as I can afford the upgrade it will be back up!

If you are a business owner or running a web business and you make websites for others you might lease or rent a dedicated server. That server is "all yours" and in that case you might host several websites on that server. Think of servers like this....there is some provider somewhere that has a room full of computers all connected to the internet. On some of those servers they host many websites. They have then some other servers they can lease to you to do the same.

In order to lease or rent our own server it would cost a LOT of money.

OK. Understood.
But I've seen hosting companies that advertise 99.99% guaranteed uptime, AND low prices.
Cant AFF look into one of those?

So this means that since they got hacked we have to be down every night? Dont they get paid for hosting us? And dont they host other companies that pay them? If so they should fix this immediately I would think and get it back up and running. Not good business really... If I am understanding this correctly.

They have been hacker paranoid over there for years tho for those asking about that. I used to go into their chat room and honestly I think every other day someone was saying oh we are being hacked! (hmmm) Like Prax said... not sure why they would hack that site but okkkkkkkkkkk whatever!
