Unfortunately we just renewed our domain name and hosting with MindRaven. I'm wondering if it's soon enough we can have that stopped through the credit card company and move our forums & websites elsewhere. But I don't even know who owns UBB now. If I were going to try this I'd need help. I can move my other websites but I don't know how to move the forum.. presumably it's not much different. Anyone care to discuss this with me while our sites are down?
Rick split Mindraven into 3 areas, Hosting, Dedicated Servers, and the UBB; he sold the UBB to UBBSystems, Mindraven he sold elsewhere, and he retains the dedicated server customers.

UBBSystems offers hosting under "Express Hosting".

It'd seem that Mindraven has issue after issue after the move... Keeping a server secure and up to date isn't rocket science, utilities on the server such as "yum" make running updates on a server fairly painless.
