New Home for the Mighty Perv

2009-01-13

If you’re an avid fan of PerveSpace.com, you may have noticed that the Mighty Perv was MIA for almost a day, then displayed some unusual errors for part of a day after that. Well, my old web host, ManageMyBox, who frankly has no fucking right to use the world ‘manage’ in their name, had unplugged my server (yes, UNPLUGGED it) due to a complaint from a bandwidth provider. No, they didn’t bother to tell me, so I woke to a find that my various web sites were missing from the mystical ether. Imagine the horror: thousand of pages of free porn had vanished!

After multiple failed attempts to get answers and support from my previous suck-ass host, I contacted the owner of Colo-Cation.com, a really well-respected web host who understands the needs and concerns of adult web sites like PerveSpace. He translated the few vague responses I had received from MMB and told me that it would appear that my old server had been exploited by some fucktard hacker. (The old host made an attempt or two at repairing the compromise, but being that their entire tech support team dropped out of community college after learning how to  press the power button on a web server, they were unable to do much more than plug it back into the internet and say, "here ya go.")

The owner of Colo-Cation handled the data transfer from my old server himself and stayed chatting with me online the entire time, re-assuring me that he would do his best to save my sites. And of course, thanks to him, I lost nothing and my sites now reside on a much more secure server. I’m not a tech guy, so I couldn’t tell you how one host can mirror data from another server somewhere else in the world, especially when my sites weren’t even reachable, but he did it and that’s all that matters. Also, within minutes of beginning the transfer, he discovered a bit of code that had been placed on my old server by those goddamn hackers—which is something an alleged ‘team’ of techs were unable to do at the old, shitty host.

Anyway, if you find yourself in the need of a web hosting service, you know who I suggest.
