I did have trouble with the first VPS I'd gotten from them, the install hadn't worked.

But they resolved it quick enough(in a day or so I think).

Apart from that I've not had any trouble.

We we're certainly ready to bring GLBSE back up again.

However because of the increasing likelyhood that Mt.Gox's server was rooted, and a significant chance that bitcoin was stolen from their wallet we have to move server.

Prior to now we were using VPS's provided by Kalyhost, which is run by MagicalTux. As Mt.Gox remains down, and the situation is looking worse that we had previously thought, we cannot take the risk of having our customers bitcoin on servers accessible by Mt.Gox's people.

It's going to add hours(6-12 depending) onto bringing GLBSE back up.

What you can look forward to will be to access GLBSE fully over SSL, using a self signed certificate, and the knowledge that our system has been hardended against breakin and exploitation.

We take the security of our users bitcoin seriously.

Sorry to get off topic but how was your service at kalyhost? I purchased a vps server and i recieved automated messages saying my server was up and gave me the details but it wasent up the whole month. I sent letters to their 24/7 support, no replies the only service i got was at the end of the month which was an automated message stating my server will be taken down if i dont pay for the next month.

As far as I know the account data was leaked through an auditor, so servers weren't rooted. Second, I think kalyhost has many physical servers around the globe, so they don't need to be on the same server as MtGox (I guess the MtGox server was dedicated anyway).

Got any link to support those claims?

These are not claims that we're making, but risks we perceive from the information we've gathered, risks that I'm not willing to take with other peoples money(my users). We know that we are not on the same server as Mt.Gox for sure, and this is not what we think to be the risk.

I'm afraid that I can't say anymore.
