We've Been Hacked

it is against their terms and conditions. they may be fine with it till a new manager comes to work or one of the higher ups finds out - then they can dump you with no warning since your sites are in violation.

You're hosting adult sites on Godaddy??

[derekt]

Can you please point out where it says that?
I don't see it on any of their terms. I did see in their terms that you can't have obscene content that would violate any US Laws and the only pornography it mentions is child pornography.
Whenever we purchase further hosting accounts with them. It's always asked, "Can I host pornographic content on this server for public viewing." The response always received is "As long as it does not violate any local or federal laws."

But I didn't see that in their terms. If you look they were also updated on 1-13-2009.

My entire server got hacked on 1/23/09. Still restoring the backup as of Sat morning. We think they got in through either phpads or Moveable Type.

I've had servers hacked several times over the years. Fortunately, we've never lost anything of any consequence, but it's still a hassle in any case.

One of the things I like about NatNet is I worry a lot less about hacking now... not to say I don't still keep an eye out, but they seem to be really good about keeping security patches updated and keeping an eye out for unusual activity.

So far, at least, we haven't had any issues since moving to NatNet.

That would suck.:idea:

Yes, GoDaddy does allow porn. I asked them and they sent me back a link to the section that addresses it. I don't have it handy but if you write them they'll send it to you. As long as its legal, it's allowed.

Out of GD's TOS. So, who's morals is this based on?

In the event Go Daddy deletes Your Services because they are being used in association with spam or morally objectionable activities, no refund will be issued.

That's the same thing they told us. As long as it does not violate any laws, it is allowed.
I just hung up the phone with Rob O. (Email: rmay@secureserver.net)
He said that pornographic material is allowed. He said Godaddy hosts many websites with pornographic material.
He said this is allowed, but when it comes to their design services, that is not permitted.
