what do u expect form host wich such name and pricing
he's a pretty good pre sale guy, but i guess he can't just say, "you get what you pay for" instead he has lines like this:
"We are sincerely trying to provide high quality SEO hosting for just $1/c class IP. We are in no way shortchanging you in either security or service."
bottom line is, lesson learned
and it's better to pay double, but have a peace of mind.

I'm cancelling my sub, although I wish I didn;t have to!

We regret that 8 of our customers sites have been compromised.
Dollar SEO hosting is the fastest growing SEO hosting provider on the internet today, for obvious reasons.
Our goal is to provide exact service as seohosting.com for just $1/C-Class IP.
2 days ago, our server has been hardened by Platinum server management, which is the most reputed server management company on Webhosting talk.
We assure you, our server is now no more or less secure than any other server managed by Platinum server management.
Cant say our service will work for everyone. In fact it isn't for 2-3% of the people, in all honesty.
I can assure you, their are many dissatisfied customers of seohosting.com, much less the crappy seowebhosting.net
Use coupon code "CHEAPESTSEOHOSTING" for a free month and check it out for yourself, if Dollar SEO hosting is for you.
Coupon good on 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 C-class Ips.
Ps. seowebhosting.net customers can get 2 months free trial. Use the same coupon code and open support ticked for 2nd mo free SEO hosting.

***This is a public announcement by a highly disappointed former client***
somethings to remember when you decide to use dollarseohosting
1. make sure you have daily backups and download them to your local machine (or remote server)
2. make sure you don't need any timely support and are ok with waiting over 24 hours for a reply
3. make sure you have low expectations, and that you are not an American (as it looks like Blackhat_Guru doesn't like Americans even tough he is one himself)
4. prepare yourself for daily downtime, and slowness.
If the above are cool with you, then dollarseohosting is the place for you

FileZilla doesn't bother encrypting FTP passwords because if you've already got a keylogger on your PC it can be intercepted anyways... You guys should invest in KeyScrambler by QFX Software it encrypts your keystrokes at the Kernel level (for Windows).

Well that sounds horrible. I hope you get all your problems sorted out OP. I can't even imagine the frustration involved.

OP, NOT ALL SITES. Just yours and 7 others out of thousands.
BTW, you only have 2 websites hosted on our server. How did you get 10 domains hacked?
We know that seowebhosting.net is paying you or doing favors to you and ThunderC, for creating these threads of misinformation about http://www.dollarseohosting.com
We see fellow blackhatworld'rs, to expects quality SEO hosting for $1/C class IP.
It was unfortunate we depended on support personnel from Philippines, who we all know are the best people to work with, for American work ethic (of time mainly). When the Typhoon hit Philippines, our 2 hr average support response became a 2 day support response as we could not reach our support personnel located in Philippines. It is a lame excuse. Unfortunately, we learned the hard way not to depend on one country for support personnel.
(Indian workers are far more educated, and good at following instructions, but lack the concept of delivering on time. Seems like the English have really screwed Indians up? Or perhaps, that Indians really believe that time doesn't exist in real terms and exists only in relative terms
As you know, when many of you who joined our service, we had the fastest SEO server on the market with load under 2 or 3.
We really are trying to get back to that level. Hopefully, several hardware upgrades we intend to perform will get us there. This will take place in stages and will be completed over the next 30 days.
In spite of the hacks, our subscriptions have doubled. Even though we sent out an email alerting everyone about the hacks.
Ironically, 6 of the 8 customers effected are the only 6 who got effected first time. Is it possible they are using a plugin that is outdated or one that has a security hole to begin with?
It was only fair that we alert all our customers, even though it meant letting them all know about the hacks will result in losing some customers, which of course we did.
New subscriptions are just shooting through the roof, even though we have cut down 75% of our ads.
Makes no sense? or People see that we are sincerely putting an effort to deliver quality SEO hosting for $1/ C class?
Many of our customers have commended our honesty, for warning everyone of hacks taking place on our server.
For anyone using WP, let this be a lesson, that WP sites are NOT secure.
1. Always backup. No matter who your host is. Even Seohosting.com.
2. Use minimal number of plugins. Better none at all.
3. Use a super strong password.
4. Stay updated to the latest version of WP.
Better yet, go back to good old html sites and you are least likely to get hacked.
You will also stay under Google radar for blog farms.

Wordpress sites are perfectly secure, just not with you. This isn't user error, every other blog I have on my other hosts are doing just fine and I follow the same routine when installing with any of them.
And recommending that we revert to HTML is fucking nonsense. You should really edit that out because it only serves to piss off your former customers (like me). That's like a car manufacturer putting tape decks in their car and recommending everyone go out and buy cassette tapes. Stupid.
