Ramzex,

I am getting ready to head out the door so I cannot stay and chat
much at the moment but I definitely want to get back to you and
discuss your current situation. In the meantime, I invite you to look
at my previous posts because there is another user on here (sphost)
I just responded to not 5 minutes ago and I think you need to read
that entire thread as you are in a very similar situation and I may be
able to help you out quite a bit with your situation as well.

Regarding everything you listed in your post above, you are definitely
making all the right moves but I'm not seeing a number of things in the
your list of things you did to secure your server and I want to ask you
about some of those as you may have secured your server well in some
areas while leaving big gaps in other areas.

Please contact me by private message and we'll chat more when
I get back online in a couple of hours and I'll try to help you with
your situation and recovering from this mess.

PS: You may be just a little bit overkill on the "disable_functions" there
and regarding open_basedir, it doesn't work the same way under SuPHP
so just enabling it in Cpanel won't really help much there.
