Unfortunately the Webspider site was hacked and defaced.
I am busy restoring it, but it's not on my priority list because of the other commercial and charity web sites I manage.
This was only the Webspider site and not the underlying server code which controls things such as emails etc.
UPDATE: 9/7/26 Site has been cleaned up and patches put in place to try and secure the site better. Disabling parts of the site which were used for the hacks should prevent further graffiti artists from doing damage until I can move the whole web site to a newer and more up to date platform. I am sure "trenggalek6etar"/"CoupDeGrace" et al will continue to probe the site...
UPDATE: 14/7/27 Finally got round to doing the necessary work to secure the web site. Some other hacker got in via AJAX calls from the template being used. All secured properly now.

Due to a failure in the networking at the data centre where the Webspider server is located, we suffered a major outage overnight from about 22:15 GMT through to around 02:00 GMT.
Everything seems to be back online so I am going through services and web sites to make sure all is well once again.
UPDATE: Another outage last night when I was fast asleep - all fixed within a couple of hours

We're Mooovin tonite...
The webspider server is on the move overnight 8th March 2023. This means the server will be shut down at 9pm this evening!
I will be doing full off-line backups during the day, which means things may seem a bit sluggish today. I will also be doing software upgrades before the move so we can start flying tomorrow!
See you on the other side tomorrow!
Update: All has gone well, we were back online before 2am, 3 hours earlier than expected!
