CHMOD 777
So what exactly is the cause of the hack? Does someone just run a script against the httpd service and gain access to the root of the site? Or is it something in the vBulletin forum software that's being exploited?
I personally like dreamhost, they're really quick with answering any of my requests, they toss gigs more free space at me every month (I think I have over 300 gigs of space now), and my monthly throughput is something insane like 2.4 TB! The only thing that I severely dislike is their e-mail hosting ... but it doesn't really bother me that much since all of my e-mail is sent to my own personal Msft Exchange server on someone else's T1. :P
Do you need somewhere else to host it? I'll let you have space on my dreamhost account to try it out and figure out if you like it there. (I'm not even using 1/100 of what they give me)

[quote]There was a major security breach on the server thrice.made2own.com
which you are currently hosted on. The perpetrator was able to gain root
access to the server via another customers website which was located on
the same server. The customer was hosting a vulnerable outdated phpBB
installation which allowed the hackers to upload a file that caused the
breach. The user that allowed the file to be uploaded has been located,
and has been removed from the server. Unfortunately however this is all
a little too late. The hacker managed to replace every single index file
on the server with one of his own, delete his steps, deleted the
backups, and delete the log files on the server.
At this time the server has been audited for further installations of
rootkits and patched by our staff, and the datacenter. However since the
hacker replaced the index files you will need to go back to your site
and replace it with one of your own in order to restore the site back to
its original state. If your index file(s) were a part of a script (i.e.
a blog, gallery, or forum) you should be able to install a fresh copy of
the software into a new directory and copy the index file(s) over to the
appropriate location and that will get everything back up and running.
The only files affected by this were any files with the word index,
home, main, or default in the file name, no other data or passwords were
compromised at any time.
Should you have any trouble or if you seek further assistance please

Thank you for your understanding in this matter and we greatly apologize
