A generous offer for your members. Not many admins would do that :salut:
The Road Apples Car Club had a website ~ http://www.roadapples.org but late last summer some idiot decided to infect the website and rather than trying to clean it up we just decided to start fresh. Any suggestions on where I should start? Am I in the right spot?
Quote:Any suggestions on where I should start?Well if your still paying for the hosting the control panel is a good place tyo start. Many host offer auto installtions of forums, photo galleries etc….
We’re not paying anymore, I decided not to renew. When the virus was detected, the host did nothing to help.
Well to be blunt that’s really not their job unless the issue arose from the software running the server which is rare. The contents of your site is your responsibility….
Anyhow I looked in the whois dtabase and that domain doesn’t expire for another year, you can transfer it to another host…. no big deal really.

Registrant Email:jviney@*****I removed the personal info, she’ll need acess to that email address to transfer it. I’d suggest you look at some of the plans at http://www.aplus.net. They start at $10 per month, that plan will provide more than you will ever need.
They ahve a control panel that you can build an entire site if you want. If you install any of the advanced stuff like this forum you need to keep up with updates, just like windows…. This uses PHP which is a server side scripting language, it’s very powerful and can do a lot of good things…. or wrong things if there’s any vulnerabilities in the script.

Everyone that I had look at the site to determine how to solve the problem told me it started on the software they were using. Others using the same software complained and nothing was ever done, so I won’t be going that route again. I did everything I could to clean it up, but when the virus isn’t on my software my hands are tied… Correct?

You could just transfer to a new hosting account as I mentioned above. I’ve been using that company above for 3 or 4 years now and haven’t had any problems whatsoever.
I would definitely recommend the host that we have here, Dreamhost. They are $10 per month and have some great stats, PM me and I can send you some details. If you’d like some personal webspace here I’d be glad to give it to you
I would like to do something like that but I couldn’t, because I wouldn’t know what to do

I can install several things for you on your space, like a blog and a program to manage your pages without looking at code, or a photo gallery or wikimedia. Interested maybe?
