Title: New URL for SLO Bytes Opening Page
Post by: rsutter on May 07, 2019, 12:52:34 PM
Hello All,
I just changed the opening page for the SLO Bytes web site from www.slobytes.org/index.php to www.slobytes.org/index.html.

I did this after GoDaddy, who hosts the web site, informed me that malware had been injected into the site through the out-of-date .php extension.
 I updated the PHP to version 5.6 and removed the suspect files.

Visitors who access the SLO Bytes web site from www.slobytes.org/index.php will get a message informing them that the site has moved to www.slobytes.org/index.html and that they will be transferred there in 5 seconds.

I am at a loss to explain why GoDaddy doesn't automatically update its hosted accounts to current versions of PHP and will be shopping for a host that does.
