 * As I woke up this morning I had a ton of emails stating file change has been 
   made. No details on what files or where. Then I look at my site and I receive
   a 403 forbidden error. I can’t even get to my admin panel. Now I have not changed
   anything what so ever. I am running owncloud which has been syncing files but
   that is to a different directory and that page still loads fine. My gallery 3
   is also working fine. So the problem is only WordPress from what I can tell.
 * Any ideas what happened or how to fix this.
 * todfamily.us is my site

 * My webhost disabled some scripting for some reason. Stating wp was using too 
   much of the server power.

 * time for a new webhost?
    Surely they could have at least told you that was going
   to happen BEFORE shutting down you site scripts? BTW it still hasnt been fixed!
 * Find a new host

 * Yes I know I am still arguing with them about this. I am so angry with them and
   how they handled this. Funny thing is they called me today to say they haven’t
   heard from me and telling me to fix the problem. Funny thing is I have had an
   open support ticket waiting for a reply for over 1 day now. Idiots at Lunarpages.
   
   I will be looking for a new host. Still have 1 year left that is paid for.
 * Any suggestions?
