As of September 6th, 2007, we have been online for 8 months. During that time, it has been a labor of love adding web hosts, verifying reviews, and maintaining this site.

Near the end of April, we went through and discovered there was 8 web hosts that went out of business during this short time frame. I don’t think we had any idea how volatile web hosting really is on new startups.

As of today, May 6th, 2008, we have 561 web hosting reviews and 344 active web hosts indexed. This is way more than we expected for our first eight months. Thanks everyone who has submitted their reviews!

During this time, we also launched a sister site dedicated to virtual private server web hosts at VPS Host Reviews. Of course, we don’t expect nearly as many reviews there since VPS popularity is still warming up. However, we saw the need for a dedicated VPS review site, so we went ahead and launched it.

At this time, we would like to hear from you. Whether you have interest in web hosting or own a web hosting company, we would like to hear what you have to say about our site. Submit suggestions, questions, or other comments at our contact us form here. We will respond to everyone that asks questions, promise!

Want to help us? Please submit a review of your web host. We’d appreciate it!

Hundreds of thousands of Web sites – including several at the United Nations and in the U.K. government — have been hacked recently and seeded with code that tries to exploit security flaws in Microsoft Windows to install malicious software on visitors’ machines.

The attackers appear to be breaking into the sites with the help of a security vulnerability in Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (IIS) Web servers. In an alert issued last week, Microsoft said it was investigating reports of an unpatched flaw in IIS servers, but at the time it noted that it wasn’t aware of anyone trying to exploit that particular weakness.

On Thursday, Spanish anti-virus vendor Panda Security said that it had alerted Microsoft that a flaw IIS was the cause of all the break-ins. When I asked Microsoft whether they’d heard from Panda or if the hundreds of thousands of sites were hacked from a patched or unpatched flaw in IIS, a spokesman for the company didn’t offer much more information.

According to Finnish anti-virus maker F-Secure, the number of hacked Web pages serving up malicious software from this attack may be closer to half a million.

“The attacks are facilitated by SQL injection exploits and are not issues related to IIS 6.0, ASP, ASP.Net, or Microsoft SQL technologies,” said Bill Sisk, a communications manager at Microsoft, in a blog post. “SQL injection attacks enable malicious users to execute commands in an application’s database.”

Sisk said that to defend against SQL injection attacks, developers should follow secure coding practices.

SQL injection attacks involve insufficiently filtered code submitted to SQL databases through user input mechanisms.

On Friday, U.S. CERT issued a warning about SQL injection attacks that have compromised a large number of legitimate Web sites. Affected Web sites contain injected JavaScript that attempts to exploit several known vulnerabilities. U.S. CERT recommends disabling JavaScript and ActiveX.

Lunarpages Supports SSH on Shared Hosting Plans

Lunarpages has started to support SSH/shell access on our shared hosting plans. New clients can specify if they want this as an addon when signing up and current clients can drop in an e-mail to support@lunarpages.com and we’ll get you hooked up. Because we know not everyone wants to be on a server that allows SSH access, we are putting SSH customers on separate servers, so everybody’s happy!

Windows Server 2008 Support at LPDedicated

Now with our Windows dedicated servers, you can pick between Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 giving our dedicated hosting clients and customers even more choice when it comes to getting the hosting setup that is right for them.

Provider of advanced Windows-based Microsoft Certified, shared, virtual private server (VPS) and dedicated web hosting solutions, Server Intellect, has debuted Microsoft Windows Server 2008, on its entire line of managed Windows Dedicated Servers.

Windows Server 2008 was released by Microsoft just last week. Server Intellect has become one of the first Windows Web hosts and Microsoft Gold Certified Partners to offer Windows Server 2008 (formerly codename Longhorn) on its dedicated servers. The updated operating system represents the most substantial upgrade of the Windows Server product line since Windows 2000 was released eight years ago.

Eric Pratt, CEO of Server Intellect noted:

For many months, our business customers and engineers have been awaiting the arrival of Windows Server 2008. This operating system truly opens the doors for a new era of possibilities and opportunities, and we see its implementation as a strategic milestone for our company. Through our expertise in Microsoft technologies, we made it a priority to be one of the first hosting providers to deploy the platform across dedicated servers, and our customers are resoundingly excited. System administrators and software developers can leverage the enormous new feature set of Windows Server 2008 to create and manage a new class of applications. This is an important step forward.

The new operating system includes many upgrades and additions to Web, security and virtualization technologies, including the newly implemented Hyper-V. The operating system also includes major expansions to Active Directory, Terminal Services, and introduces the long-awaited Windows PowerShell.

Windows Server 2008 is available in multiple editions to support the varying server needs of businesses of all sizes. Server Intellect will offer two main versions of Windows Server 2008, the Web Edition and Datacenter Edition. The web addition is offered on all dedicated servers at no additional charge, and the Datacenter Edition starts at $50/monthly. A full listing of differences between the two versions is available on Server Intellect’s web site.

A subsidiary of Client Intellect, Inc., Server Intellect is a provider of advanced Windows-based Shared, VPS, Application, and Dedicated Web hosting solutions. The company was founded in 2003 and is located in Orlando, Florida.
