    Vectec.Net has been offline for over 48 hours, and we just came back. Our ISP has shut us down, using too much traffic, and unknown to us, it was contraband to run a server on their residential service.

    What does this mean to you? YOur site no longer exists on Vectec.Net, but we stil have all our files. Will we ever come back? Most likly not.

    Our isp (Aliant) is holding in investigation, but it will turn up false, although we don't know what they are looking for.

    If you have any questions, post them here ONLY. We do not currently have e-mail.

      I need $150 a month. Lol. Well, they told me what they're investugating: somebody had a scam hosted off my site...a fake eBay form where you put in information like cc number and paypal username and pass....

      This isn't good...could get fined.

      eBay??? I thought it was something else? Jesus Christ Cody. Man, ALiant should have their balls cut off. As well as all the other ISPs that don't allow sites being hosted on their service. Bullshit, man, Bullshit.

      It's a pity that the host shut down, especially when it was great. Anyways, I plan to setup a server in a few months and I've checked that I can setup a server on that connection and I plan to offer free cobranded webhosting services as well.
      But who ever setup that fake ebay form up is an .......

      Ugh. This is crap. It sucks. People really know how to be idiots on the net and mess up a good service. Sorry this happened to you Cody. I know how hard you worked on Vectec. Now it's gone. ;_; I hope you bring it back somehow!

      If we get enough money we will be able to colocate our server, but it wouldn't be as good. We'd also have to start charging.
