Rant about GoDaddy

So I was having a little difficulty with a PHP script that I wrote. It basically gets email addresses from a MySQL db and sends messages to them through a form.

It worked fine last week and then I kept getting "Permission Denied" errors today. So I call tech support thinking that maybe they had made some permission changes.

The guy assured me that the did not make changes. I re-upload my PHP and lo and behold it works! I got the message out and everybody (me) is happy. I thank the tech support guy (even though he really didn't do anything) and we hang up.

A few minutes later I get a message sent using my PHP script. It's a "test" message. The tech support guy sent a test message to everyone on my mailling list. Now I've got everybody on the list emailing me saying, "I got the test message," or whatever.

Anyway, it's not much of a rant.

If you host anything at GoDaddy that uses executable scripts just beware of tech support guys executing your code without permission.

I'm just waiting for the headline "Disgruntled employee spams GoDaddy customers with porn"

I'd be happy to see my hosting company doing something instead of saying not my issue.
Now, if it's over like 300 people, now that would blow.

What did you expect tech support to do? Assume the problem isn't something they can/should look into?

After I told them that I had fixed it I wouldn't expect them to use the PHP. Furthermore, he should have asked if he could execute the code. It's in a protected area (of course they have root privs so that doesn't really matter).

I could have easily prevented the email from going to everyone on the list with a change to a single line which I would have done if I had known he was going to test it.
