So, my domain was hacked AGAIN.

I have retyped this entry because I have discovered that everything is still in tact and that it was, indeed, another defacing. They simply renamed my public_html folder (the main folder that contains all of your site content), and all I have to do is rename it back. Right now I am waiting for Netrillium to reset my username and password, which they also changed.

Although I suppose there is no reason to delete my domains and fanlistings, I think I am going to close papervixen.net as a personal site. It has a lot to do with hackers and having to deal with hackings every few months, but it also has to do with me losing my passion for design. I am sure my inspiration will return some day, but for now, I think I am just going to close my personal site... or perhaps leave it up with a note saying it will no longer be updated, though that seems sort of pointless.

Just so everyone knows, do not, under any circumstance, sign up with Netrillium. They are a bunch of idiots who have no idea what they are doing and they neglect, to no end, their customers. They were great for a year or two, and then I was waiting months at a time for customer service tickets and replies. My blog has been sitting screwed up for about three months thanks to them. I demanded a refund, they said sure, and I have not heard from them since, nor have I been given the credit they promised. I am moving hosts. I do not care how long it takes to reupload everything at this point. They are an insecure company with too many security holes. It is unacceptable that I have been hacked ten of fifteen times in the past two years. They have no idea how to run a server.

Why the hell do these things keep happening to me? I honestly feel like I am being punished. It is just one thing after the next, and I cannot deny the endless string of negatvity seems to follow me around. This is also an instance where it is completely out of my control, and it is also something that I do not deserve to have happen to me over and over again.

If this is any indication of how my new year is going to start, I swear...
