No Elitehost?
Thats what I thought, been along term Elitehost customer, very happy with them.

Need support I get it immediately from opening ticket to response which is also normally the solution depending on issue is never more than 1/2 hour.

Pretty sure there has been at least one negative article about the listed in the last 12 months, not to mention Gallo manor.

Looking at the the offerings from listed, I would say also they are the most cost effective looking at just storage and board band costs

If you host anything on these shores, even your mum's apple pie recipe, you are nuts.
I host and run everything overseas.
No member of guavament is gonna wake up one morning and force me to pay toll/fence fees, coz my stuff is near their greedy evil clutches.

Yep we were and it’s been well documented in the thread that I created in the hosting section.

Hence we’re moving to a better location where we can better service our clients

Most likely one of the local crowds did it due to you taking a few of their clients or something. I remember when CISP got theirs i can tell you someone local that has issues.
we use to see if big time at a stage in the FiveM community and its silly how cheap a DDOS package is and even the free ones at 1Gbps.

Dealing with a proper DDOS attack is not funny. Also, how is it Absolute Hosting’s fault that they got the attack? Could have been plenty of reasons someone would want to attack a website hosted by them.
