Server question about K-F

Quexinos

Since I can't edit my other topic title..:

what server is KF on? I mean it seems to have a lot of problems with getting hacked and stuff and this makes me think it's not very secure. I know of a pretty decent host at www.ketnar.org… they're really awesome and totally secure and they have backups of the site. And if your site gets hacked they do something about it (they did for me)

So... yeah that's just a thought. Or is the server okay?... Im not trying to be out of line or anything but I just want to make sure KF is on a good server and not getting hacked every other week.

You can change the topic title, you just have to click "advanced" after you click "edit".

Actually, no they can't, only we can do that :laugh:

Before, I recall it used to be on the MIT servers (or unless that was just dythim's ftp back then), but I wouldn't be able to tell you where it is now. Ohhh dythim man ~

According to the whois info, it looks like probably Dreamhost. However, from the news on the new site, they said it was a DoS, not hacking. That's not something you can really prevent, even with a pretty locked down and patched up system. All you can do is buy more processing power and more bandwidth until either you run out of money or the script kiddies run out of zombies. Unfortunately, I don't think the K-F staff has the funds to win that race. The best option is probably what they've done now; new IP and new domain.

Well, any first poster can, within the topic, but it won't look right on the front page… :x~~
