Anyone else experiencing server problems with the site not loading ?  Noticed it for the 4-5 days...

I've definitely noticed the slow down which all started when the server was compromised and malicious files where injected/uploaded...
That problem seems to have been resolved... Been conversing with tech support in hopes of correcting the recent slowdown...

I was away working with my brother in W.VA for the last three weeks and things have really plagued me!  I had very limited access to the internet and it became a futile problem for me the last couple of weeks!  Just returned home on Sat. and hope to get things running smoothly asap...

My apologies for the inconvenience ! ! !  Timing of these events has not been in my favor...

I was having issues through last night, but I got right in this morning.   Jim, as always, thanks for you help with this and hopefully it is resolved.

UPDATE:

The "Slow Down" we experienced was due to a compromise on the server which eventually was shut down as resource usage began to escalate.
Apparently, on another hosted site, there was a DDoS Perl IrcBot that was injected onto the server which lead to the service disruption.
I have talking with tech support to ensure this does not happen any time soon; I will be monitoring closely as we are not completely in the clear until I can be sure none of the extraneous files/directories still exist anywhere on the server!

I was annoyed that it took long/wasn't loading. But it's back and now I am happy. You leave town for a few weeks and everything falls apart! LOL. Thank you for the fine job you do. I think the worst part was since it wasn't responding, you couldn't ask someone WHY it was this way. Because you couldn't get on!
