always working as they should and their support team are quick to reply and deal with any queries you have. If you have a managed service they will do what they can on your VPS and give you a full update of what they are doing and what they have done. I can't fault them at all. Great job, KnownHost!

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.
