Periodically we will be giving away 3 months of our Gold Hosting for free. These giveaways will be done on Facebook and Twitter, so make sure you follow us and keep an eye out for your chance.

These contests will be quick and easy. Just follow us on the respective site and share or retweet when it comes up and you’ll be entered to win.

Why are we doing this? We’d like more people to get a chance to see what it’s like to be with a hosting company that doesn’t oversell their services, so your site will always be fast and responsive, with excellent support to go along with it.

If you’re running the openX ad server and you’re not running the latest version, I’d recommend doing an upgrade asap. There is a pretty bad exploit available and it’s already hitting some big sites.

The exploit is done via the Open Flash Chart 2 module. There is no check in place to make sure users should be uploading the files in that directory. If you can’t upgrade at this time then what you’ll want to do is delete admin/plugins/videoReport/lib/ofc2/ofc_upload_image.php if you don’t use the module. Most people don’t use the module, and even if you do, I’d delete it anyway until you can upgrade.

There are a variety of ways to exploit this, but one thing you can check is look inside your admin/plugins/videoReport/lib/tmp-upload-images directory. If you see some sort of .php script in there, that’s a bad sign.

We’ve already patched 3 client servers that have had a php shell script uploaded into that directory.

An update on this. Just updating your version isn’t going to fix your problem if you’ve already been exploited. You’ll want to check the append/prepend for all of your banners and zones, since more than likely they’ve been noodling around in there to cause problems. You can look at your audit log to see if that’s happened.

We’re having a Labor Day Sale ending tonight at midnight. You can receive 25% off any of our shared hosting plans for life. Just use the coupon code [b]LABORDAY[/b] when ordering.

We have a lot of customers using our UBB forum product, and one question that comes along with it is that the users sometimes don’t know how to resize their images to use for avatars or decent uploads. There are a variety of sites available that can do the job but some are slow, and others aren’t very trustworthy, so we’ve purchased a new site to allow this.

At Cranno.com you can resize a single or multiple images and also add watermarks to them if you’d like. It’s a free service, it’s fast and we won’t hijack your images.
