Ok My hosting company just shut down everything including multiple dedicated servers, all 600 of my domains, and my email due to a DMCA complaint regarding one of my clients sites. Horrible shit and I am losing thousands of dollars as I write this and getting calls from every client. Their support is a joke and I can't even speak to someone in the legal deparment right now despite giving them thousands of dollars a month for years.

Anyway I need a REALLY good lawyer ASAP who knows his stuff when it comes to the internet and this kind of stuff. I have to get this back up asap. Anyone got a good recommendation??
 


*sigh* where are your backups? Any operation with clients, you HAVE to have offsite backups.
 
Bro you can legally file a counter-claim direct to your host and I'm pretty sure they have to put your shit back online once you do until a full investigation concludes.

It's not about the backups... I need to get into the most recent db to access recent new orders from the ecommerce sites. I can't access my domains at all to even change dns info, it's everything..
 
That's crap..it happens to me once but godday shot down the domain not the hosting..they usually gives warning and move the site first..that is shitty hosting company..

hope you find the solution asap..I know your pain because I've been there..
 
Ok first and update. Well after many phone calls these mumbling idiots figured out they only needed to shut down the ONE SERVER that hosted the site the DMCA letter was about and not the ENTIRE ACCOUNT. Idiots I swear. So I got everyting back up for now except that one server which of course happens to be one of the ones I use for my offers. I have a lawyer working on taking care of that issue with one server now.

Hosting company is 1and1. Needless to say stay far away from them. Servers are good but support (I never use it) sucks I found out and their policies are insane. This is the 2nd time these stupid bastards have done something like this to me, it will be the last time though. Today was the most stressful day in a long long time, I need to go buy a bottle of scotch...

Anyone using a good company for dedicated servers that they are happy with?
 
Sorry to hear that but you get what you pay. If you need top-notch support, start using dedicated servers from PowerVPS.
 
I use 1and1 for domain registrations and THATS it. For hosting, I look elsewhere.

Exactly. These types of hosting services are fine for running a few small websites. But if you are running a real business you don't want to be using these because you won't get top level support when you need it... this is the reason they are cheaper.

If you want a fully managed service and deal with people that actually know what they are doing I highly recommend using LiquidWeb.com

Dude that's crazy. And I keep telling people to stay away from Godaddy and Network solutions because they're known to be assholes, and to move TO 1and1.

I can tell you that the quasi-spam company I use to work at (that emailed you your joke of the day you signed up for with their affiliate offers) used serverpronto.com (they have colopronto.com)

I can't speak too much for them, but they are in miami, so I wouldn't think they care too much what the heck you're doing in their network.

I'm VERY surprised the 1and1 people fucked you over. All I can tell you is at least the indian's that answer the phone are up 24 hours a day.
