RevLinuxOS sites are back online!

The RevLinuxOS sites are back online!

Thank you to everyone in the community for your patience and understanding during the Hacking issues and the mess it has created. I have most of the sites back online, but there are some ongoing issues to relate:

1.) I'm still uploading files from the other server, and this may still take some time because I'm on DSL, so I have crappy upload speeds.

2.) We were able to save and reuse the Remastersys forum database, but we lost the RevLinuxOS forum database due to data corruption.

3.) I was able to save the files for the Masonux project and get them back online, but I am currently unable to get the Vlocity project files from the godaddy.com hosted servers because they suspended my account. It was a really sh*ty thing to do because I was moving to a new hosting provider, so they suddenly called my account a security risk and suspended my account!

I don't know about you, but it takes allot of nerve to behave like that. 38,500 of Godaddy's customer got hacked twice in one month by the same group using the same exploits, and godaddy has the nerve of blaming their customers for "causing" the problem!

When that many sites get hacked in a 4 hour period twice in a month, and they all use the same hosting provider, the problem is systemic. I am now calling on all Godaddy customers that had this problem and got treated the same way as I was by Godaddy to boycott doing business with them. Godaddy has obviously become so big that they no longer care about their paying customers or the idea of customer service. I find their behaviour reprehensible and unethical and will never do business with them again!

  1. Godaddy is owned by some ultra Republican Fox news types. I would never give them your business.

    Move your account to Dreamhost.
