dblog.aldacron.net is Clean Again

Google has cleared the dblog.aldacron.net domain from the blacklist, so 
it's safe to visit The One With D and the Derelict forums again.

Ultimately, I had to root everything out myself. Tech support was 
friendly enough, but very little help (they advised me that I needed to 
find the problem, which is what I asked for help with in the first 
place). It turns out there was a hidden executable which was completely 
invisible to my ftp client. I was able to see it only through the CPanel 
File Manager, but I was unable to delete it. Every attempt succeeded, 
only for the file to come back again. But once I eliminated all sorts of 
php files and fixed a number of static html files that had been 
modified, the problem went away even if the executable did not. Tech 
support did, finally, tell me they would remove the offending file.

Because of this experience, I've decided it's time to move away from 
shared hosting. I'm going to transfer everything over to a VPS (either 
with Digital Ocean or Linode) so that I can always have shell access.
