Salvatore emailed us an exclusive offer on the occasion of their 15th anniversary this month  for LEB readers. Use coupon code 15Y15LEB to get 25% recurring discount on all annual payments. This is even better than their current LET Offer.

They accept Paypal as the only means of payment at the moment. Test IPs and test files are available on their LET Offer thread. You can also review the last LEB post for generally very positive reviews and feedback.

WHMCS Hacked, Client data leaked online

Tags: , , Date/Time: May 23, 2012 @ 6:55 pm

WHMCS is a popular billing software used by most of the small to medium scale hosting companies. The intruder gained access to the servers using “social engineering attack”. There are approx half a million (500,000) user records with Credit Card info leaked online.

“Following an initial investigation I can report that what occurred today was the result of a social engineering attack. The person was able to impersonate myself with our web hosting company, and provide correct answers to their verification questions, And thereby gain access to our client account with the host, and ultimately change the email and then request a mailing of the access details. This means that there was no actual hacking of our server. They were ultimately given the access details.” Matt Pugh explained.

It is also worth mentioning that the WHMCS twitter account was also taken over by the hackers.

It is rumoured and believed that Matt’s email account was hacked and hence the hackers gained access to the server details and the Twitter account at the same time. Nothing has been done so far to get the twitter account back, although WHMCS is back online after being hacked and defaced with a DDoS attack.

Hackers told Softpedia that they can easily decrypt password and they gained access to the servers using “social engineering and injections”.

It is advised that all companies using WHMCS installations should either bring it offline or protect their /admin/ folder by configuring IPs (this MAY save your WHMCS installation IF it there is still a vulnerability in WHMCS as the hackers stated earlier)

VMPort acquired by FTNHosting

Date/Time: May 14, 2012 @ 12:48 am

Today it was announced that FTNHosting had acquired a popular LEB company, VMPort. I decided to write up this post to mix up the content on LEB a bit and because Ashley (from VMPort) has been an active member of the community for quite some time so this announcement has been encountered with mixed feelings, some excited about the change and some, well, not so excited. Change is never fun but sometimes it is needed, in this case the benefits to the current VMPort clients appear to outweigh the negatives but there’s still a hole being left where VMPort once was. There is a very informative thread on LET about this here (along with a copy and paste of the announcement on VMPort’s site for confirmation).

Having not used VMPort before, I was still a bit saddened as I read Ashley’s post about the reasons behind the decision but, I am sure it is all for the best for the clients and for the VMPort staff. Best of luck to the VMPort clients going through the transition, to the FTNHosting staff for acquiring some big shoes to fill, and to Ashley for all future endeavors.

5ite.com – $5.57/mo OpenVZ 384MB in Seattle

Tags: , , , Date/Time: May 10, 2012 @ 1:02 am

5ite

Nancy from 5ite.com sent us a congratulations email on the transition after the DDOS attacks and let us know at the same time that 5ite.com has listened to their customers demand for additional nodes and IPs so recently they added Seattle to their locations.

To get things started in Seattle, Nancy offers the LEB community a spring promotion at that location, if you sign up and want to use Chicago instead of Seattle as location send a ticket through their support and your VPS will be moved there. However, Nancy lets us know that they are trying to phase that location out, it was a location that was inherited from the previous owner of 5ite.com. Story and links about the sale can be found here from January.

Nancy is also letting us in on a little “secret”, 5ite.com is checking out another location in Ashburn, Virginia and don’t be surprised if we would get a similar offer ones that goes live ?!

Anyway, here is the spring promo package!

30 GB of premier disk space
3 TB of super fast bandwidth
384 MB of guaranteed RAM
512 MB of Burstable RAM
CPU: 1 Core
1 dedicated IP included
No Coupon Code required-
just select the promo listed here

Test ip for Seattle here: 216.18.231.50

The previous/existing coupon offers (25%-30%off) on LEB all still work, however, those coupons do not apply to this exclusive offer.

 

ChicagoVPS – $6.45 512MB XEN VPS in Chicago

Tags: , , , Date/Time: May 7, 2012 @ 2:26 pm

ChicagoVPS

ChicagoVPS goes XEN again … Same offer as in February this year, but the openVZ packages are priced a little lower then last time. ChicagoVPS has been around for a long time, first offer in October of 2010 and perhaps the most featured provider on LEB? I haven’t done any scientific research about it so I might be wrong.

However they have many happy customers and a few not so happy customers, but who hasn’t?

Chris, who e-mailed their latest offer had their yearly Professional OpenVZ price a little to high for the LEB price plan, nothing an email with Chris couldn’t sort out.

Don’t forget that anyone who has service with them also get a free 25 slot mohawk Voice Server.

You can order it here after you picked up one of these packages:

XEN VPS Starter
