Today i got a nice surprise from my hosting.. (Hosting24)
I had a 403 error when trying to access my faucet:" Forbidden: a malicious file has been detected.
Detected as: Botnet.h.FaucetBox-1"

Opened a ticket and here's the answer:

"Bitcoin faucets are now prohibited to be hosted on our shared hosting servers, as they pose a security vulnerability for our servers. We apologise for the inconveniences caused."

Were you using the faucetbox script?
My first faucet used it and i must close due to bot attacks. I created 3 more using own designed script and i do not have problems anymore.

Good luck.

Yes faucetbox script.  They shut down my faucet without any warnings. the only answer is "we don't accept bitcoin faucet site anymore"

New info from hosting24 host:

"Hello ,

None of the bitcoin faucet scripts are allowed on our services due to the nature of the script.

Regards,
Elvin S."
