Improved Reliability: Maiahost Achieves 100% Service Uptime in January 2010!
Maiahost is currently Trouble-Free Hosting Service with 100% uptime this month and 99.94% overall for the past 4 years measured by WebHostingStuff.com. This makes us on TOP 100 Most Reliable Hosting Providers which is a great achievement and a milestone in our current business development plan.
No more than 10 minutes of planned downtime is expected due to scheduled server restarts every Saturday and Monday at 12 AM EST. Weekdays are to be with 100% uptime unless we have some urgent security update that requires server restart which should not be more than few minutes. Also Weekends starting from 12 AM to 8 AM we are performing server wide security checks and the weekly account backups therefore you may be experiencing slight delay in website load speed while they are being processed.
Due to the increased security measures our firewall is set to block anyone trying to “guess” or “brute-force” passwords on any of our services. If you don’t remember your password please reset it from our clients area but don’t try to guess it. More than 5 wrong passwords will result in auto block. If you accidentally get blocked you will see “Unable to connect” or “Timeout” message on your website browser. If so please contact us via Support Ticket or Live Chat and we will unblock you.

Server Migration Complete. New Email Security Implemented
I’m really happy to announce that we successfully managed to transfer all client servers this weekend. This was achieved with no downtime to almost all servers. We are currently tweaking up the security and email anti-spam policy. Note that you may be experiencing some strange network issues within the next 24 hours due to the DNS changes because both old and new servers are working.
Due to DNS changes, currently the OLD servers are online as well as the NEW servers, therefore if you have some CRON jobs that do mailing you will receive duplicate emails. We will keep the OLD servers online until December 20 because there are some clients that use their own Name Servers and are still utilizing the old servers. We ask all such clients to immediately contact us in order to re-set their DNS Zones and point them to the new machines
If you have Dedicated IP address, note that you sill have it on the new servers, but the IP address is different. If you wish to find your new IP address you can ping-test your domain with the following command: “ping www.mydomain.com” note to replace the domain name with your own or you can contact us and we’ll provide you the IP address.
Due to Email Security issues, we have disabled BOX Trapper service but enabled SPAMCOP filtering. This way we will try to reduce the possibility of having our IPs blacklisted, and with Spamcop’s top-notch spammer detection services, we will try to decrease the number of SPAM emails received. We will be adding extra security within the next few days.
Sincerely,
The Maiahost Management

Dear All,
We are starting upgrades on all servers. The new machines will be almost twice faster that the existing ones especially improved on I/O.
Additionally we have increased storage capacity and we will be upgrading all existing clients to the Unlimited Packages.
Server migration will be performed by the end of this month (Nov 2009) .
No action is required from you. Upgrade will be done entirely by our team. Short downtime during the transfer process is possible. Scheduled transfers will be different for each server. All transfers are to be performed between 12:00 am and 10:00 am US EST.

Warning: Beez Joomla template found to have hack inside
During the last few months we had several reports for hacked Joomla 1.0 and 1.5 sites being hacked. Recently we found that all those sites were using the same BEEZ template. We are not 100% sure but we think that template either contains vulnerable code or has buit-in Hack. We are strongly advising NOT to use this template.

New: Security System implemented.
Hi, We have installed and configured a new anti hacker system on all servers. Note that this system automatically blocks users by IP address if they are found to imput more than 5 times wrong username or password to any of the following: FTP, CPanel, eMail and Web Security (if you password restricted any folder on your website). If you accidently blocked yourself (if you fogot your password for example) please contact us and we will add your IP address to the friendly list.
Our new security implementation successfully blocked numerous misc exploit attacks over the popular Joomla and WordPress systems. It also blocked huge number of WordPress Comment Spammers which is becomming a huge problem for most Bloggers. Now all reported for spam automated crawlers will be blocked automatically.
