At this point we have no concrete migration path to PHP5. We recently upgraded to 4.3.10 however. Bill

Drop me a IM. I will take care of you Bill

It could be your Ip has been firewalled from our server. What is your IP?

I am seeing your site from from Michigan. Perhaps a firewall?

I do not think a weekly update is out of the question. If there are no updates, the page is simply not updated. If we upgrade the page once per month, feasibly it could be 39 days from the date of a released upgrade until we announce it Bill

Yep your good to go.

Hi, Yesterday a mass e-mail was sent to all our customers in regards to updating 3rd party scripts. I would like to expand on that e-mail with further explanations. We allow users to install most 3rd party scripts into their user account. This includes Discussion Forums, Blogging Software, PHP Scripts and much more. This is part of the freedom and latitude we give to our clients. However, when a client installs 3rd party scripts on their account they must accept the responsibility that goes along with it. As with any software product certain security holes are found. When these vulnerabilities are found the publishers of the software generally will release a patch or upgrade to the software. The reason we communicated with our clients in the first e-mail was simply to express our desire for clients to upgrade their scripts. It was not our intention to scare or upset customers with threats of suspension of services. That was not our intent. If you are running any 3rd party script on our servers simply insure that you are maintaining the script to the best of your ability. In the next few days we will be putting together a list of 3rd party scripts that have known security issues. Once this is completed we will again communicate with you via a e-mail message. This will help our customers in identifying what scripts may have issues. At this point we have no plans to suspend sites that have outdated versions of 3rd party scripts. We should have communicated this in better detail. Thanks for you business and support. Bill Kish

Bottom line is this. If you own and maintain a hosting account it is YOUR responsiblity to maintain it. The email we sent out was a simple reminder that older scripts can be exploited and you should maintain and keep your site current. It is NOT the responsiblty of TotalChoice Hosting to keep our clients 3rd party scripts nice and updated. It is NOT our responsibility to look thru each and every ones account and inform them what script in their account needs updating. Bottom line is this. Maintain your site, keep the software on your site up to date and not exploitable. We can host your account, we can not be a babysitter to your scripts! Bill

If you like you can call our Billing Department in the morning, they can get you squared away in no time flat. Bill

Thank's for the kind words. Bill

This has been corrected, there was a misplaced character in the html code that was taking traffic to another registrar. Thanks for the head up.

We got it on our to do list.

Ok, I am simply beat today. Working way to many hours this week. I am sorry for snapping at you in this thread, and furthermore, I am sorry for closing the thread. You had no idea I was working on your site and I should have contacted you. It was late, I was tired and well I wasn't working on all 8 cylinders. Anyways, I have reopened the thread. Let the bashing begin. Bill

And finally. If we are having issues, your screaming and yelling at us will not get the issue fixed any faster. Your site is up and running ATM. If you have any further issues please contact me VIA AOL IM or submit a help desk ticket. Bill

67.38.20.17, using Ameritech.net...your attempt to ping me to death last night didn’t cause the current issues. So don’t knock yourself over self-patting your back, k? Was me, and thanks for those nice comments.

I tried helping you last night with your funk site, but you banned my IP! So I quit helping you. Bill

Anyone know of good news stations that stream. I was looking to see if FOX NEWS streamed their radio but appears not. Any tips would be great. Thanks Bill

Last time I checked all our Techs spoke English. Maybe not Rob, he is from Arizona. Bill

That would have been my fault. Please drop a ticket in and we will get the webmail working again. Bill

I had our lead admin also peak at your account, everything looks good. Bill

I peaked at your server and account, looks like your getting more NORMAL traffic than usual. I do not see anything to be concerned with ATM. Bill

It is on our list of things to get done. We lost our webmaster a while back and have just brought on a new person to handle the site. Bill

Squeaky wheels sometimes do get grease, now don't they. Thank you for your support and thanks for choosing TotalChoice.
