One of my customer’s site was down because bandwidth consumption peaked at around 900 MB just for one day (May 28).
Her average bandwidth is only 14 MB a day. Checking her stats, I found out that this IP number 65.19.169.227 (Click for screen cap …Ip address points to Hurricane Electric ) was the cause and most likely the dreaded gigablast spider. It’s the same nasty spider that attacked the Protagonist Forums and forced it to shut down . Just be in the watch for this type of bot. There’s also some information on the Gigablast spider which tells you how to block it.

I’m offering Wordpress Blog Hosting for only $10.00 a year with free wordpress installation. With a top-level domain name, the total package is $20.50. Very affordable and can easily fit your budget. No wonder , it’s my best selling plan for the season. You know you want to. order?.
I’ve finally upgraded nimrodel.net and BLOGGED to wordpress 1.5 and the best comment spam plugin I’ve tested is Bad Behavior. Bad Behavior was designed and built by watching actual spambots which harvested email addresses, posted comment spam, and used fake referrers. By logging their entire HTTP requests and comparing them to HTTP requests of legitimate users, it is possible to detect most spambots. Bad Behavior blocks spambots with a 412 error. By preventing spambots and other malicious bots from ever accessing any of your pages, your bandwidth usage will drop significantly. That’s a bonus!
Bad Behavior actually works. In less than 5 hours after installation, it blocked 300 bot attempts.
Get ready to be blinded…
Presenting a new layout and a new portal for The-protagonist dot net. It’s been a year since the last redesign. This time I am using Mambo. Mambo is a Content Management System (CMS). It is the engine behind your website that simplifies the creation, management, and sharing of content. I love the script. It’s lighter than Post nuke and has such a pretty admin interface. You have 3 templates to choose and there will be more to come.
I’m still fixing the static pages and other content for dot net. So stay tuned. I’m not done yet.
Presenting the new logo for my webhosting business.
