Thanks!

It took 3 weeks of extensive planning and testing building up to 2 days of VERY long hours. Most of the "behind the scenes" work was done to enhance server security and reliability.

You would be amazed at the number of attempts we get on a daily basis to hack into our server. In the first 24 hours my test server was running on the internet, there were 40,000 attempts to break in using brute-force attack methods. I tried to make sure this server was as secure as possible before the dns servers pointed to it.

Yeah thanks Bill!


40k attempts? People need to get a life.

Some of the attacks are automated attacks. Other attacks may come from people who are trying to harvest the computers linked to a system/site and turn them into slave bots.

These are not just some pimpled-face kids in their parents' basement doing stuff for the thrill of it. These are serious criminals.

By protecting the integrity of the system Bill is also protecting the computers (ours) that connect to the site.

Good job!
