Over the past few weeks we have seen a few cases of trojans capturing ftp passwords from a customer’s computer and use those details to modify their web site.
This may be through either a keylogger or access to an ftp program’s saved account details (such as in FileZilla).
We recommend using an up-to-date virus scanner along with regular scans using a dedicated malware scanning program.
Avast! Home Edition is a free virus scanner, while Malwarebytes Anti-Malware has proven to be an effective spyware scanner.
Hi there!
It's been a while since I last posted a Blog entry so I thought I would mention a few new things we have been rolling out:
NEW Domain Name Registration system
We've finished implementing a custom built Domain Registration system that allows management of both domains and web hosting from a single account.
If you have a Domain Name registered with us, visit https://secure.hostcontrol.com.au/order/login.aspx and put your domain name into the Password Recovery section to receive instructions on how to include it in your existing Web Hosting account.
ASP.NET 3.5 Web Hosting on IIS 7.0 (with SP1)
This has been available for a while now but I thought I would mention it as customers can now request their sites be moved over to IIS 7.0 if they would like to try out the new features.
If you would like to purchase a new Web Hosting account you can do so here:
During the order process you will be given the opportunity to request IIS 7.0 as all existing Web Hosting plans support it.
Improved hostControl
We've updated the interface to make it even easier to use and added a couple of features customers have requested:
Default Documents – You can specify the home page for your web site and change the order pages are loaded here.
Domain Registration – As mentioned above, this new feature allows you to change name servers, update contact details and process renewals for your domain names.
So there you have it! We are always interested in hearing your feedback, so if you have something to say send us an email or visit the Support page on our web site:

You know those normally hygienic people who for some strange reason decide to throw it out the window once a year and grow a hideous moustache?
Well believe it or not they haven't gone mad, they are supporting Movember which aims to raise funds and awareness for men's health.
This month my staff are on the ball, setting up a campaign where 5% of every Web Hosting or HyperVPS account purchased in the month of November will go straight to the Movember Foundation.
That money will then go on to either the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia or beyondblue: the national depression initiative. Two worthy causes I think you'll agree.
For full details you can visit our Movember website or head on over to the offical web site for all the details.
