@empowersource Contacted hosts and they explained that my infected domains are on my account and would be a ‘draw’ ie slowing up all other domains on the server due to the malware redirects. They accept the malware is no threat to other domains, but insisted that the added strain on the CPU’s is unfair to other customers. They have offered to rectify all my infected sites at one cost rather than the same cost per domain, and activate enhanced security package annually at one cost for all domains rather than separately. I do get the feeling they are acknowledging some responsibility in the infection occurring, without admitting it out right to me…I will update this thread when they have secured the domains and what/how they achieved it if possible.
@empowersource Thanks for the reply, very useful info that I have presented to the hosts, wait to hear what they say…
I too have been hacked in the same way. The curious difference being that I have 8 domains registered by my host, and 6 of them use their servers, only those 6 have been infected… I am not a tech savvy website builder, the sites are ‘simple’, and being a cynic by nature, my primary question is can/would the host servers risk an infection of my sites in order to charge me a lot of money to repair them? Those far more tech savvy than myself could surely ‘bring down’ a company that was possibly doing such a thing? They have threatened to shut my sites down tonight if the infections are not removed and I subscribe to their own site security package…
