The security hole (if there was one) has now been plugged.

Please dont take my posts out of context. When I stated "The only secure server is one that is disconnected !" I was trying to explain to you that there is no such thing as a 100% secure server - It does not exist - Period

Everyone has been happy and enjoying themselves on the site until you re-apeared....

Do you find pleasure in stiring trouble and upsetting people ?

I dont even think that you are worth typing about. - To this end I am now going to neg rep you and use my ignore button - Something I have never done before.......

Have a nice life erol....

I am going to have to disagree with you (& Stuartbe) on this.

First of all I happen to think he had every right to ask the question - security should be the concern of any web host and i-webs security was compromised. They have now admitted this and taken measures to prevent it happening again - that is all he asked.

I can't help thinking that had anyone else asked the question then you would not be threatening to delete their account.

You may not like him or his views (neither do I for the most part) but I think he has as much right to post them here as anyone else (lets face it, some people on this forum are a damn sight more extreme than he is).

I see where you are coming m8 - its not so much the issue here more the repeated digs at I-web and the mods/admins.....

If he had concerns about I-web's security he should have done as I would and taken isue with it via PM not taken the opertunity to have a go at I-web.

Erol aonly apears when there is some scandal afoot. He is never around when people need help.....

Sorry but we will have to agree to disagree on this one. IMO he is not a constructive member of the site and that is why I have chosen to ignore him.

No-one is as troublesome as 'he' is, hes been asked to take his questions elsewhere but continues his crusade against us in a bid to champion his role and bore the pants off members and us. Hes in a constant, repetitive cycle, he comes, posts nonsense then has a few weeks off, gets bored of posting nonsense elsewhere. Then comes back here. I thought he would of got the message by now, going off the fact that quite a few members have said they have him on their ignore list.

I agree with both of you about the content of some of his posts (but not all - he did have some very useful points about bandwidth usage yesterday).

I don't have anyone on my ignore list, no matter who they are - I can just as easily choose to ignore posts if I want. I do soon get bored of very long posts (like many of erol's) and tend to skip them for the most part anyway.

Thats the first (and hopefully the last time) I use the ignore or neg rep...

Anyway - Lets forget it - The troll wants this to happen, all of us agruing about him and falling out....

Thats the last I am going to say on the subject !

I wanted to ask if anyone had contacted NTL about it yet. But I knew better.

So the issue is completely behind us then.

If you PM the admins and KP I am sure they will be happy to fill you in... !

I cant see the point in going over it again TBH - The mail was sent, the problem with the server has been fixed and nothing can be done to undo it.

So the 'stolen' list from ntl (.com site) was used to spam from an iweb server.

We've established the fault at iweb was fixed.

Just recapping - I've lost track. What about NTL's security?

Thats a good point.... Was an email sent to ntl ??? I seem to remember someone sending one or was it to the DPA ???

Edit PMSL Just looked at the link on your sig

Can we please get this thread back on topic. Enough is enough


FYI - this topic is about I-Web polling NTHW forum members to generate 'more sales' :pp by developing customer oriented and focused hosting plans.

Sorry m8 - My bad......

On topic........

KP is it possible to get some webspace just for storing files and perhaps streaming. I have some family abroad that would like to access family video's ect. Access would need to be restriced via username and password. Is this possible - If so whats the damage ?

Could you not just make a simple site which needed a username and pass to enter?

That would be the way we would do it.... just using htacess file......

Pricing would depend on how big the videos were...... at the moment the current NTHW packages stand......


We dont appear to be getting the feedback we require to re-shape the nthw packages to better suit your needs.....

The idea we like most at the moment is the idea from Tricky, where we offer a base package, and then depeneding on your needs you add bolt ons, and have the option to bolt these on anytime during the hosting experience. We have e-mailed the client management software company, and have been advised that the package will be able to handle such a thing in a couple of months time.

Just a heads up, we have secured another server, so if your site is hosted on eagle, then its highly likely to be moving home soon, but all customers will recieve an e-mail advising them of this.

All you need to do is put a .htaccess file on the server.

http://www.demon.net/helpdesk/produc...htaccess.shtml

Password protecting your web pages
The Apache server supports the htaccess password mechanism. It is possible, by placing a rules file called .htaccess in a directory, to force a user to enter a user name and password pair before they can access the files in that directory. These details are checked against an .htpasswd file, the location of which is indicated in the rules file. No intervention by Demon is required to set up such a system, although some familiarity with htaccess is necessary. Some examples have been prepared to help you get started:

Allowing Password Access for Individual Users
Allowing Password Access for Groups of Users

Please bear in mind that Demon will not be able to give specific support on the setup for a particular site, there are just too many possible configurations. However further detailed information and generic examples are available from the NCSA site.

This would probably even work on the NTL free space.
