I know they have shut down because of some person but what was this person doing to make them have to shut down?

| Someone might have DDoSed, got the hosting and ran a malicious script, etc. |

Also hiwd-dev.com wasn't hosted on Abyss Web Server long enough to prevent
this tragedy , I knew that Apache sucks. Don't ever use it , it puts you at risk.

What the hell does a user abusing the service provided have to do with whether they hosted on Abyss or Apache? That kind of FUD is no better than the usual Windows vs Linux fanboy bashing. If a user is going to abuse your site, they will abuse it no matter what you are hosted on, if you are providing a script that can be abused. |

TRUSTpunk, don't be an idiot. Just because someone uses Apache doesn't mean their site is going to be constantly hacked, as you seem to think. |

Ok,
First of all, the server was not brought down because Apache got hacked! Apache has been very good over the last few months with no problems at all. I have 2 other servers running Apache and not one of them have been hacked once.
I would have stead with Abyss but cPanel is not compatible with it. I have Abyss X2 and it has been good to me, I currently just use it for testing my scripts at home etc...
Secondly, our server was not brought down by a hacker; our data center took it offline because a user was using his account to send spam.
Regards,
HIWD. |
