Password Protector
A common problem for people running pay-for-access sites is that of password posting.
Password posting is where your web site members post their username and password to a "free passwords"
web site to allow others to gain access to the pay-for-access material on your web site without actually signing
up for service. This can be a very costly problem since literally thousands of people could be using your web site
without paying you a dime.
To protect against this problem Silicon Valley Web Hosting has developed several monitoring programs. When
enabled your user activity is monitored throughout the day and if there is any account which is used by an excess
number of IP subnets (indicating a hacked account) your are sent a warning email. The Protector also has an option
to automatically delete those user accounts.
Additionally, the Protector monitors your account for brute-force hack attempts. If found the Protector will send you a
warning email and it will optionally block all further access attempts from the offending IP address(es).
