When you are running a server with lots of logins created for plenty of resellers and clients under resellers. Are you sure that they have kept their passwords safe, and make sure that they cannot be hacked.

To be honest, I have had some, sorry to say, stupid clients, who keep their passwords very simple such as “pass” or “password”, and hackers who are looking for free hosting on which people run unsuspecting sites to create their paypal spoofing pages and stuff, just login, place their files, and start spamming. The user of the site will see a sudden increase in the traffic to the site, and would be overwhelmed, but will not see a considerable boost in their adsense impressions. They just stay there wondering, untill the cyber cell calls you up and investigates about phishing and spoofing happening on your servers.

Or the datacentre just goes ahead and suspends your server and gives you a mail asking you to remove teh content. And when you send them several mails asking them how on earth you are supposed to remove teh content when your server is taken offline and when clients are calling you like crazy since you opened office, they boot the server for 30 mins within which you would be asked to remove the file. And that would be the time that your internet fails or you get a trouble in your UPS and your system refuses to connect to the internet, and your server would be taken offline forever.

Once that happens, clients will just blame you saying that you have not been keeping your servers secure and have allowed hackers to enter your sites and place files, and thats the reason that the server has been taken down.

To prevent this sort of nightmare from happening, always advise your clients, your resellers and the clients under your resellers thru your resellers, to keep their passwords safe. No matter even if they have a site that is least important and if they think that no one is going to hack into it, it is hazardous to the servers and all the clients who depend on the servers for their business and emails, and for the millions of people who could be cheated by spoofing or phishing.
