KnownHost to the rescue.
Jun. 16, 2021
After my recent host was hacked, I switched back to KnownHost. I've used KH for hosting large and small sites for over 10 yea...

rs. I've also used other hosting companies during that time. KH is the only one that has consistently provided a very high level of service for a cost less than some other bigger hosts. I now use them for all the sites I host for myself and clients. I recommend a semi dedicated server for its power and features.

Worst mistake of my life was signing up with these guys. One of my accounts was hacked and their abuse team sent me an email ...

alerting me to the files that were malicious. I deleted all of them except one (which I missed by mistake). Because of this, on a Friday night, they shut my site down - took it off line. Then they give me the spin that their 'abuse team' is different from their "support team" and they only work 9-5 monday to friday - no after hours support. So my site is now offline until Monday at the earliest. Dreadful service, in no way fit for a professional business to rely on. Please learn from my mistake, avoid these guys at all costs.
