Zip Attachments - January 16, 2013, 03:35:47 pm
Success at long last.
I have finally succeeding in finding the root cause of ZIP attachments failing when bundling certain types of files. That was the entire REASON for zip packaging heheh.
Small victory, but I like it.

Remote Javascript Hosting Update - September 27, 2012, 07:27:58 am
A number of valid accounts were targetted and removed by the remote javascript check.
Simple things like Bravenets counter was getting targetted.
Due to that, the check has been removed until it can be improved.
Anyone affected has been upgraded to elite tier for the inconvenience.
Remote Javascript Hosting - September 25, 2012, 11:02:29 am
A number of people have been caught in a new anti-malware script.
One of the newest methods that exploiters use to attempt to infect people is load javascript from another host. Usually this will look like the following in the html:
<script type='text/javascript' src="http://nastydomain.ru/fake/copy/of/jquery.js">
It's not a copy of jquery.js - it's a file to infect via javascript.
The down side is there are legitimate uses of remotely hosted javascript, but due to the risk (so far only 3 false positives out of over 37,000 account deletions) is very high.
So please put your javascript files in your cwahi account. If they are hosted offsite, your account will be terminated immediately by the anti-malware scripts.

Signups Re-enabled Temporarily - June 19, 2012, 09:54:01 am
We have re-enabled signups temporarily. We will be reviewing the entire signup process and seeing what we can do to combat exploiters/spammers and allow good signups to continue through.
Going to Invite-Only - May 22, 2012, 11:00:40 am
CWahi is going to Invite-Only.
We have been fighting the growing trend of unscrupulous people creating accounts using botnets and other tools, uploading sites encoded with javascript, etc and attempting to infect, phish, etc.
So we are moving to an "Invite Only" system.
At first, only the Elite and Beta testers will be able to invite until we have cleaned out the rest.
We will decide how to address the rest after we clean out the cruft.

Hack Source Identified - April 27, 2012, 09:39:59 am
I have identified the source of the hack, closed it off and have submitted a PR to the appropriate vendor. This appears to be a 0-day exploit - I found no evidence of this attack prior to today. We will be working with the vendor to clean this up.
It is safe to upload files and rebuild your sites if you were affected.
Major Hack - April 27, 2012, 09:38:02 am
Last night we were hacked. I have narrowed down the time frame that it occurred in, but have not yet found the attack vector.
It has resulted in a lot of peoples web files being deleted. Databases are untouched however.
I am investigating and will close of the issue as soon as it can be determined.
For those affected, please reupload your files!
Emergency Database Maintenance - February 03, 2012, 12:04:43 pm
The database began acting very strange this morning.
I had to take it offline so forums and various other things were up and down as I did the repair work.
Everything is good now and operating normally.

Happy New Year! - January 09, 2012, 09:31:26 am
Happy New Year to Everyone!
I have just returned back full time from a "mostly holiday" - I had to do some work fending off various attempts to exploit and abuse CWahi, but in general it was a good break.
I am excited about 2012. I have new hardware purchased for all systems and will be doing a complete revamp to make CWahi faster and more reliable than ever.
The international shortage of hard drives due to flooding and earthquakes in Asia has delayed some plans but as soon as I can get my supply in, work will be going ahead full force to scale up CWahi even further and many long waited features (domains) will be added.
Please spread the word and enjoy CWahi!

Gift to Elite Tier - December 23, 2011, 10:06:44 am
For all elite tier (and beta testers), I have added a private ftp for you to prevent ftp connection hoggers from affecting you.
Your new server is:
eftp.cwahi.net
If your DNS does not see it right away, use this IP:
8.21.33.26
Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays - December 23, 2011, 09:54:26 am
No matter what celebration you do or do not celebrate at this time of year, I wish everyone the best and may the coming year bring you happiness and joy!

Upgrade Complete - December 11, 2011, 11:08:45 am
The upgrade was completed successfully but did run longer than expected. In computers that is normal 
This prepares us for some new features to be rolled out in 2012!
Tony
Major Upgrade - December 07, 2011, 03:01:30 pm
There is a major upgrade as we get ready to support IPV6. We will be having a maintenance window from 1-3 AM EST (GMT -5) on Sunday Dec 11th.
There will be some hard downtime as the switches are physically replaced with new ones that support IPV6 and other functions.
This is a heads up.

All Databases Back - October 21, 2011, 02:27:03 pm
All the databases are back up and functional.
Sorry about the inconvenience - I couldn't take the risk of losing any data.
Elite Databases Back - October 21, 2011, 02:03:27 pm
The elite tier databases are back up.
The free ones are almost done as well - will be soon!
Still Ongoing - October 21, 2011, 01:55:11 pm
The issue is taking a little longer to repair than I hoped.
Will let you know as soon as it is back up. I don't expect it to take much longer.
Database Maintenance - October 21, 2011, 12:58:10 pm
The user database down for a quick emergency maintenance.
We cannot wait to fix the issue - it will make things worse if we do not deal with it right now.
Should have the system back up in about 30mins.
Google +1 Buttons - Simplified - October 16, 2011, 10:29:45 am
I read through the docs and specified the url that should be promoted - +1 away, anywhere!
Google +1 Buttons - Update - October 15, 2011, 10:03:17 am
I thank those people that +1'd us!
Could you please do the +1 on the main page (www.cwahi.net) as well?
Many people cannot log into the members section and promoting the main page will help our growth!
As an aside - new hardware was ordered! The vendors got their supplies in! Yay!
Google +1 Buttons - October 11, 2011, 10:16:59 am
You requested it, it has been done.
We have added the Google +1 button to the link bar on free pages and to the left Nav spot on the CWahi main site.
Now it's easier for your visitors to indicate that they like you!
