I’ve been with them for 4 years. Now I’m starting to get “Forbidden access” nearly everyday, so i have to submit a ticket and after a while they restore the site. I suppose they must have a script that automatically stop websites that (the script thinks) overload their servers. Now my traffic is down, since I enabled cloudflare, but I keep having those issues (with a WordPress blog).

The funny thing is that their server is still overloaded once my 2 websites are done, something like 8 to 20 CPU load on a 4 CPU system.

Truly an astonishing article, nonetheless my mind is slightly different. No matter, the more readers, the more different POVs and I respect yours. And I’m also willing to see your other posts, too!

I am currently hosted with them and right after the 30 days was up I started having problems with my site and still having problems they suspended my databases due to too much load, I have a site that is database driven and when they are down nothing works.

It is a little hard to get a good page rank with google when your page will not display!!!

I am very POed at the whole situation I am a programmer with over 10 years of experience and I have never seen anything like this. I write all my own scripts and they work on my home server just fine. I told them if they just want people that get no traffic they can call themselves a hosting company but for those of us that need and get the traffic, use a different hosting company.

Thanks for the info on 1&1 hosting I am going to check them out and will likely move my site there.
Thanks all
Patrick

@zambrian — sounds as if your website was hijacked by a phishing website. How they hijacked it isnt known, though a place this cheap probably doesn’t have too good security — still, if you have permission 777 on a directory that allows anyone to upload anything, if the provider permits anonymous ftp.

Probably some phishing or warez site has hijacked your space, causing excessively high bandwidth usage; the hosting provider has blocked your account due to the illegal hosting activity.

Where the hosting provider failed is that they have not bothered to investigate if you are a victim or not; they have simply assumed that it is your site therefore you are guilty, and are not interested in listening to any arguments. I suppose this is the difference between a hosting provider who charge $1/mo and one who charges $10/month…
