Dreamhost: Not exactly a Dream

ByEditor

The last months we got a few hundred attacks from IPs belonging to Dreamhost. Those IPs are also reported by a lot of webmasters (or automated) at AbuseIPDB.

We have emailed them twice but got no reply. Of cource and thank you for the treat.

As they publish at their own site, they provide “Web Hosting with Purpose”. What is that purpose i wonder.

What appears to be is that we have an other “hackers and abusers tolerant” hosting company, like DigitalOcean, ColoCrossing, OVH, ONLINE SAS, Hetzner.de etc etc.

    Still knocking, even after blocked.

  3. All those hosting companies, do not realize that in the mid/long term, their reputation will go bad. Also since they are blacklisted by many many scripts and plugins, their customers will go away.

    In several plugins for WP i see blocked IPs for Colocrossing, OHV, DigitalOcean, Hetzner and many other “hosting” companies.

  7. Today we had a heavy attack for 2 hours against our WordPress from:

    brightwood.dreamhost.com (69.163.152.113)

    ___

    /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/xnxx/xd.php

    /admin/controller/extension/module/opheadar.php

    and other probes for security issues. What a crappy hoster.
