Currently for a company dedicated hosting server, there are a large amount of 403 errors being generated by the company IP for a specific website, while no one from the company is accessing that site. There are a large number of client sites, as well as a staging site hosted on this server, to which the hosting company locked out the company with the reason "a brute force attack was launched from IP address ... (the company IP)". Is there any way the IP could be used by an outside source, or would there be some software, malware, or general error that could be causing this? I'm far from a security expert, and at a loss while the hosting company is not able to give clear answers other than to offer to disable their "mod_security firewall".
Thanks!
You should be able to track on your companies firewall (outbound) what local machines are spamming this external server with requests.
The 403 is just a bi-product of a different problem - the spamming appears to be the root problem. 403 is showing because the request is likely to be malformed and not accepted by the hosted web server.
It is not possible to "steal" an IP when talking about TCP/IP so if the hosting provider detected that it is true.
If you have no firewall where to monitor that and the head of IT thinks does not think that getting one is a good idea..... Go to http://careers.stackoverflow.com/ and start looking for another.

How can I check if website can be viewed without getting blocked by firewalls like the ones in the schools or in the public places?
I want my website to possibly be viewed from everywhere.
I have Cloudflare DNS and an SSL Certificate from Let's Encrypt
Thank you!
I don't know what to try.
I hope you have only the best intentions with this 😬
I first want to point out, that there are many different scenarios of your site to get blacklisted/blocked. Which would reach from a school blacklisting you to a government DNS blocking your website.
In contrast there would be whitelisting e.g. the school deciding that the people in their network only can view this list of websites. In this case you could do very little to be reached from this network.
To circumvent the blockage of a website it normally requires the user to get around it e.g. by using a VPN.
That said, it seems to me that for a new site it would be most effective to not get blacklisted in the first place.

I have a web server set up at home for hosting a web site and I bought a domain from NameCheap. Now I want to connect the two together. I watched a lot of tutorials and I can see that the most popular way of registering your server is with a DNS 'A record' by connecting to my IP address. The problem is that my IP address is changing every once in a while and I am not sure if this means that I have to make my IP static. Is that possible and how do I do that? Also, is this a good way of connecting my domain to my server or is there a better way?
It's possible, there are 2 options:
Call your ISP, and ask if they offer a static IP as an option for your service (depending on where you live, this could be expensive, and not available for home connections). Then point the DNS A to your new fix IP.
Use a service like "No-IP": In this scenario you have to associate a CNAME (instead of a A Record) to a subdomain from No-IP, and they will redirect to your home dynamic IP.
Now take into account, for those 2 cases, you'll need to forward that domain to your local computer using the function of DDNS of your router, plus another settings like port forwarding.

I have 2 virtual private servers which i got from cloudatcost.com with 2 static IPs for one server and 1 static IP for another.
I have installed windows server 2008 R2 on both of them. All I wanted to do is to make one as a webserver and the other as a email and database server and I waanted to use some free control panel to create websites and maintain them. But before doing that I need to setup DNS server and static IP setup which I am not aware of. Someone please help me directing in a correct path of how to setup a server with a domain name and allow it to point as a server for different domains I host in future. I am pretty new to this networking stuff. I am .Net developer please help.
Thanks in advance.
[1] First you need to acquire domain for which you will get various registrar.
[2] Domain provider will provide you control panel
[3] Login into Domain control panel and there you need to two step process.Here you need to take help of your Domain provider.
[i] Register Name server of your VPS.Keep IP of VPS, where you will host domain.
ns1.abc.com = IP of your VPS
ns2.abc.com = IP of your VPS
[ii] Point your domain to VPS
[4]Now you can host your domain on VPS. Global propagation will take almost 24-48 hours time.

My website was hacked and my homepage was changed again and again. Is there any tools or any ASP sources can protect it from editing?
I set the attributes hidden, read and system to the index.asp files, well, it was changed by the hacker again.
Notes:
My site was hosted in a shared server
My website was hacked by a china chopper before
I have cleaned server hidden asp files..
To put it bluntly, secure your server it will stop the hackers editing your pages :)
It sounds like your server has been compromised at a higher level, if this is a hosted solution (by a 3rd party company) they need to fix their servers. Unfortunately I've seen smaller hosting companies never fix the problem and just replace the files back and blame "poor coding" when the problem is actually "stupid system admins that don't know what they are doing". If this is the case, move to a different host. If this is your machine and you are hosting it, rebuild the entire machine it sounds like it has been compromised.
For your site 1st you need to check some security measure like there may chance that your web site vulnerabilities . With following attack like SQLinjection, Blind SQl , XSS, Oracle Padding Attack, DOT-NET-Nuke etc .
2nd thing as #silver said may be your host is responsible for all this thing like many time on IIS there is major security issue if your other site which is hosted in the server is having some vulnerabilities so attacker or hacker can access of the server throw PHP-Shells and Some ASP or ASPX shells. So for this issue you need to choice the good host :)

I brought few domain names from a domain register in my Country. So yea they manage the domain like change DNS etc. Is there a way that I can mange my own DNS.
Example:
Domain Register (DNS) points ---> DNS Manager Service (This is where I will manage the DNS) from my side. It will like a redirecting DNS just like we redirecting websites from one domain to another.
Hope you understand what am trying to say here. I don't whats its called. Did Google but even a clue what am looking for.
Thanks
You need a managed DNS service.
There is a nice list on wikipedia
Once you acquire one of these services, you will inform your domain register to point to the managed DNS site. Any request for your domains is forwarded to the managed DNS site. You will use a control panel on the managed site to further forward to your final destination (rented cloud server, server at home, construction page, etc)
