A "new" server has been built to take care of the security issue that we had. The reason I say "new" is that the server is older than the current one, but it will only be handling certain functions (shared web, sql, ftp, mail and ssh). The current server will continue to run primary mail, dns, active directory and backup web.

The new server is running FreeBSD4.10 which should cope with multiple users and virtual hosts much better. The main reason being full permissions for every file on the server.

The specs:

Dual Pentium 3 650MHz

768mb PC100 SDRAM

80gb HDD

I am planning on moving all web sites (everyone who has emailed me a new username) tonight. This means all hosted websites will be offline for a few hours. Primary mail will stay on the old server so there should be no mail downtime.

All accounts on this new server have SSH access. This gives users access to a unix command line. For those who have not used a unix system before understanding permissions etc may be hard. I will try and get some basic documentation up online to help everyone. If you have any questions email me and I'll add them to the FAQ.

More to come later. Just remember all websites will be offline tonight.
