Unable to resolve target system name www.altushost.com.

Looks like it down here as well. You should try to contact them and whois their domain shall reveals some of their contact number.

Good luck.

Altushost.com is hosted in the I3D network. I3d has a failure on the core routers.

MORE PROBLEMS WITH ALTUSHOST

That's not the only problem with altushost. I've had to block this IP, that was traced to an altushost client. Then I get a return visit of the blocked altushost client.

Take a look at a part of my access log and error log of today.

CONCLUSION

I took the liberty of masking the username, I don't want this guy to learn about my connection.

I needed to block this guy, because there is no doubt in my mind that this guy wants to send spam and a certain kind of spam no less. My website is an online game that is currently in alpha test. It's targetted towards all ages, so this kind of attempt to spam and hackish stuff is not something I appreciate.

While I am an amateur developer, I know these errors are not caused by a faulty script, rather it is someone trying to break in.

I've contacted altushost the first time, this guy visited. I warned them about him. Altushost did absolutely nothing about it!

It seems to me that altushost doesn't care about their reputation, as long as they get their money. And what's more they don't live by their own rules. Thank goodness I'm not hosted by these guys.
