I'm running this site with my own money for the benefit of my gaming community. I don't have time and it shouldn't have to be a full time job to make sure that my site isn't being used for nefarious purposes. I've loved having my own email, my own server space and my own forums without having ads or be worried about copyright infringement. I'm a Canadian hosting on an American server because the Millennium Digital Copyright Act has the strongest protection. It's been almost 2 days since IT has responded back to my response to their ticket. They only gave me 60 hours from their initial complaint about the phishing content that was placed on my account by a hacker to resolving it by suspending my account and telling me to find another ISP without even the courtesy to get a most recent backup of my content. I'm begging to have a hero in my corner now.

I worked in cooperation with IT in trying to improve my own personal security and worked hand-in-hand so that I wouldn't have this type of attack happen again on my domain. Phishing sites are an anathema to me because of its use for invading privacy and being used in identity theft. As an advocate for information rights and responsibilities for over 15 years, coming from my experience as a information professional, having these type of attacks hosted on my site is a black mark not only for me as an admin but also reflects upon your security. I've always felt that if we all did our part, the service as a whole would be better for everyone. The most recent attack was counted as my third & final ToS violation. I can't even get to see when it occurred because I've been locked out of my own account. All I can say is that it must have happened between the last time I checked my folders which was about two weeks ago and the day it was reported to IT.

I have been a victim of several attacks on my server and now because while I was on summer vacation, I come back to find my account suspended with no access whatsoever to my email, my files, my forums and databases. My gaming community has also lost this access as well. As an admin of an account for over five years, the first 4.5 years were great. I had no problems. I even recommended this service highly for affordable server space and services, fantastic customer service and the strongest security and reliability on the net.
