I put a new server on order.
A p4 (as opposed to the celery we are on currently), bigger HD, same ram, less per month.
Also, for those wondering, I am pretty sure I found the hack problem.
Another site I hosted in order to help cover costs on the server had a small picture gallery program. The program has been getting security updates every 2 months(!). Shitty program, but the real problem is that the site owners were not updating it. It has been over 2 years since they updated it! In this day and age, 2 tears on a server program without updates is death, but it is even more important when the proigram has a billion holes in it.
Anyhow, the site has been shutdown, then we deleted the bad program (fuck updating!, I want that thing gone!).
