If any of you use ADDR.COM as your web host, you should immediately read the following article at MSNBC:
http://www.msnbc.com/news/553615.asp

My site is hosted by ADDR.COM. I am really pissed off that they did not contact me about this. I just received an email from a competing web host firm pointing me to that article.

So, if you use ADDR.COM, do what I did:
Change your password at ADDR.COM now!
then
Call your bank and report your credit card stolen.

Yeah, I heard about that @ WHT (webhostingtalk).

Great forums they have @ WHT for finding good hosts and hosting news.

Man, thats a pisser!

I got one of those "competing host" letters too. Back when I was on PageCreators.net... turns out the server was being run by a 19-year-old kid out of his parents' basement. And he had ripped off about $75,000 in fraudulent credit card charges from the customers.

Needless to say, I switched hosts rather quickly.

whew!! glad i didnt go with them!

Unbelievable.

Just got an email from addr.com. Here's part of it:

Man, I hope this is just a hoax. Go back to the first post in this thread and click on the MSNBC link. The article has more info now.

Note to self: seach UBBDev for posts describing how to move a UBB to a new host.

Update: False alarm. They are not going out of business. Whew!

Thanks Q for turning me on to www.webhostingtalk.com . Good people over there.
