Did you hear about No Support Linux Hosting being shut down?
It sounds fascinating. Almost not real...

OK my misunderstanding, but i like this 'All customers should immediately download backups of their websites and databases through cPanel. How if their server are closed and compromised. as 9/10 the hackers to would placed files within all the websites on the server for them to gain access, so taking a backup of your site after the fact you will also be placing your new host servers at risk as you will also be migratiung the hackers files with your websiteNo, he meant the provider named No Support Linux Hosting. http://www.nosupportlinuxhosting.com/

I agree. If it was me then first i would inform clients of this issue and explain server will be taken offline to do a cleanup, at the same time i would have provisioned a new server with new IPs and as i cleaned each website i would move them to the clean server, then once all clean sites migrated inform client of new IPs/nameservers etc. and then reinstalled os on infected server. even if it meant giving clients a free months hosting, but i would not close down because of this.Yup, and that's why I believe there's more to it than "we were hacked" as that wouldn't normally affect an entire company operation. Sure the server they were on with their billing information may be hacked and maybe they don't have a restore file for that (shame on them) but if client's accounts are still in operation, then it's just a matter of cleanup and contacting users etc.
The excuse and the reaction just don't match. Their domain has been around a long time, and it really picked up steam in May 2020 - so something else is happening that they're not sharing.
