What if the server gets hacked or attacked?

Individually hacked websites are rare. If such occurs, usually they are a target for a reason; hate sites, pirated software, etc… StarEsystems, Inc. does not host such websites. If such materal is found on a StarEsystems, Inc. server, it is deleted immediately and the user’s account cancelled. Usually the target is the whole server itself. Hackers usually go after a server just to say that “they did”, or to use the server to bounce off of to hack something more important. Rarely are any user’s files on the server damaged, erased, or modified. For this reason, once a hacker is detected, the server can usually be cleaned up and the hacker locked back out within a matter of hours. At that time the server is restored to full security levels, as if the hack has never occurred. Most hackers get into a system thru valid user accounts. We recommend you use complicated passwords for your account. StarEsystems, Inc. strictly reviews all orders for new clients, to make sure they are legitimate.
