IntegraMOD

Is anyones board hosted on Yahoo Business server? I am asking this because over the last week, our boards which have been hosted there have been dropping like flies. The boards keep saying "Cannot connect to database" And in my phpadmin it says "No answer from server" Or something like that. I have sent numerous emails to yahoo, they say they look into it, after 24 hours its back on for another day or so then drops again with the same problem. This is getting my members and i very irrate. All the email replies seem to be at least semi automated, they will not even tell me what is causing it, just that its fixed. I was hoping that someone else also has there forum hosted by them, so when my drops i can check on yours, if thats down i know it is definetly yahoo. The database restores i do daily do not make any difference to the problem. Of course this favour could work both ways as well. A final point, if anyone is very very happy with there server and its customer support, feel free to let me know who they are. This is getting very old, very fast.

I'm not hosted on yahoo... last I checked (over 5 years ago) their hosting was pretty expensive.

I do have one question for you. Are you upgraded to a version of IntegraMod that has phpbb security?

The reason I ask that question is because I had a similar problem once and the issue was that I had some malicious script-kiddies getting into my site and running up my database queries until my host had to keep shutting down my site.

My host also acted as if this was a server problem and that they were fixing it, but once I upgraded to IM 1.4.0 with phpbb security, it blocked like 2 IP's in the first night and all of a sudden those problems were over.

i am totally up to date with integramod and security, even when i try to get into my phpadmin on my domain it says it cannot connect to the server, at least it is still on this morning, but we still get quiet a few 500 server errors
