Your PlusNet Website is over its bandwidth allowance

Hello!

I received an email "Your PlusNet Website is over its bandwidth allowance" in the early hours:

It has come to our attention that in the last 24 hours your website
has exceeded its bandwidth allowance by a significant amount.

 

Unfortunately, because of the amount over the limit, your site has
been archived.  Please contact us through the website if you want
your site to be restored. - we cannot do this by email or over the
telephone.

 

Your website used 422321 KB OVER its bandwidth transfer
allowance during the last 24 hours.

 

Unfortunately it doesn't say which site it relates to (we have 2 PlusNet accounts), and the help links in the email are broken:

http://www.plus.net/support/webspace/tips_and_info/webspace_faq.shtml#9

http://www.plus.net/support/webspace/tips_and_info/webspace_faq.shtml#7

 

I think it relates to a largely forgotten website for a "free" .co.uk domain I had with a legacy PlusNet package.

Unfortunately it had a "weak" password (now changed), so may have been hacked - or alternatively was being DoS'd.

 

Can you please restore the website to an alternate directory so I can take a look at it?

 

Thanks & Kind Regards,

Marc

Do you have webstats switched on? If yes, you can look at the details and see what was using up all the bandwidth.
That's RPM to you!!

Thanks - I do have webstats and it's the .co.uk domain (although they seem to be served from the same htdocs folder).
