Hello vb.com

Got this message yesterday by my host provider:

Dear Client of iiPanel,

We regret to inform you that our server has been compromised/hacked and the hacker has deleted portion of the accounts on our server. As a result, you may not be able to access your account.

------------------------------------
What action we are taking about this?
Shortly we are going to undertake an Operating system reload (OS Reload) in order to clear all the files and data that the hacker has left on the server. After that we are going to start restoring all the backups that we have in order to make everything run as smooth as it possible.

We are going to keep sending updates on our progress.

We do thankyou for your patience and cooperation.

This doesn't looks promising to me. I have experienced some downtimes whitin days, and sometimes simply cut-off, and couldnt access my site at all. Im pretty tired of it and think i'll might find a more reliable host. Before i do that i have searched the forum for other good providers inhere. This is the providers i have in mind:

icdsoft.com (at besthostratings, they claim it to be top-notch: http://www.besthostratings.com/editorial/icdsoft-review.html (Anyone using vb on this host, and how are the support there?)

hostrocket.com (Anyone using vb on this host, and how are the support there?)

asmallorange.com (Anyone using vb on this host, and how are the support there?)

those 3 sounds promising.

Anyone that could stand up for these 3 company's?

Thanks for helping me.

I would suggest inquiring at www.webhostingtalk.com (http://www.webhostingtalk.com) for ideas on a good hosting provider.
