I'd guess Ipower was hacked instead of swordofmoonlight.com. This doesn't look like something any service provider like Ipower would slap on their 404 pages. It doesn't even look like a proper webpage. Hopefully swordofmoonlight.com's files/etc have not been compromised.
BTW, This content is coming from a domain named dsnextgen.com.

I wouldn't go as far as to say iPower's been hacked.
As far as I'm concerned, it's an advertisement approach.
I'm the webmaster for both hguols.com and barrenmeadowsrecordings.com through iPower, and there is a different set of "advertisements" through them.
I certainly don't see this as anything to be worried about.
Re: Looks like the website has been hacked. - Holy_Diver - 2010-06-21
It doesn't look like any advertisement I've ever seen. The webmaster anyway should setup a support ticket to find out what is going on. Ipower has no right to inject advertisements into this class of website. It's definitely a hack, however; most likely swordofmoonlight.com is not the only site experiencing it.
Re: Looks like the website has been hacked. - Hguols - 2010-06-21
I contacted a support tech at iPower. He told me it's just advertising.
So, you thinking it was definitely a hack, is definitely wrong.
It's discount domains dude - who cares if they advertise on the 404s.

If you would have read my previous post, you would have noticed I said the same for both iPower domains I webmaster.
I don't blame you though. I read your posts about as thorough as you read mine.

I did not read your statement very precisely, though I'm stunned to see a non-free host doing anything remotely like that; dude.
The quality of the "ad" looks like bad spam / something a worm would slip in thru a security hole... I'd be livid (care)
Re: Looks like the website has been hacked. - Hguols - 2010-06-22
It doesn't look like bad spam to me. That would involve at least one pop-up.
It just looks like a generic directory assistance page.
If you still want to believe its malicious, or want to get worked up about it...
....you could always go somewhere else.
