anonymous_user Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 When I do to wincert.net, it says:Wincert.net is temporarily down due to a server transfer! We'll be back in a while.That seems like an explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymous_user Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I just tried going to Wincert.net and it showed a page saying:This Account Has Been SuspendedPlease contact the billing/support department as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUZR4LIFE Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I just tried going to Wincert.net and it showed a page saying:This Account Has Been SuspendedPlease contact the billing/support department as soon as possible.WinCert is moving to a dedicated server, due to the hits it has been getting. So it maybe down for another couple days until the move is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1K Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Well, to be honest I don't know what to do now. Here is the answer from our current shared hosting support team:This user without any doubt needs a dedicated server. It is not hisbandwidth or space storage, his forum user connections is what creating thecpu load.Dedicated hosting server costs about 150$/month and my current payments don't cover that nor I haven't received any donations except one from JurgenDoe...I suspect on a hack, since it's not happening all the time.. There were no problems for 3 weeks since we moved to another server, until now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPU load, number of members, bandwidth usage, etc.?Have you looked into VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting instead of a dedicated one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I just found out that WinCert was Hacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 It was hacked again? How? Give some details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUZR4LIFE Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 It was hacked again? How? Give some details. I don't have the details. It's just in Ricktendo's IM display message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1K Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 We have some beliefs that we're hacked, but it's not 100% positive yet. IPS Suipport along with a friend of mine are investigating this issue, although the hosting company said that Wincert.net without any doubt should go to dedicated hosting.@gamehead200Our stats which I can give you are:5000-8000 daily visitors2-3 million page views/month80-110 GB bandwidth/month5500+ members..
