comment Browser hijack uses a similar domain name to mine
Since your site is just a picture of a cat, why not instead put up instructions for how people can remove the virus, or protect their computers? That might at least stop the emails.

comment Is this common practice for disk quotas on virtual dedicated servers?
No, there are Linux options, but I've got a .NET app. I thought they would not count Windows because I upgraded from a 2003 server with 10GB of storage, and now I can't even get my app up after upgrading unless I use SQL Express.

It seems abnormal that someone would pay $30/month to run a static website. I'm not sure what type of application this is server is intended for. I just want to make sure this is how it is everywhere.

comment How can I diagnose the cause of unexpected restarts on a Windows Server 2003 VPS?
Alright, I understand your feelings about moving to Microsoft's current technologies. That will definitely happen if our application can operate in the black. BTW, I'm confused about the CPUs. Windows and SQL Server both show two physical CPUs with a total of 8 cores (two quads). At first we were using SQL Express, which used 4 cores (two on each CPU), but after upgrading to Standard it's using all 8. The VPS is very fast...and unreliable. If I can figure out this restart issue it would be our ideal solution while we're operating in the red. I appreciate your advice, but I want this VPS workin

We don't have a CTO! We are only two people. =) GoDaddy won't let us run Windows 2008 on their VPS's. The license cost is built into their VPS's but it's really very cheap. We would have to move to a dedicated machine if we were to use our own Windows 2008 license. The VPS has 2 CPUs. Their dedicated's only have one. This is why we're using SQL Standard. IIS6 didn't inhibit us from creating our webapp, so there was no apparent need for IIS7. Also, the VPS has been handling our load effortlessly. Is Server 2003 really so bad that we should get off of it even though we just need it to run IIS?

The reason for sticking with 2003 is simply cost. Is kind of problem something that I shouldn't be surprised to have if I keep using Server 2003? At this point I'm auditing everything allowed in Local Policy, but there are no other events occurring in the other logs at the time of the shutdown. I'll mention that the host is GoDaddy and I have learned they are using Virtuozzo.
