            <description><![CDATA[Abruptly took down the site, it is now 'Forbidden' No warning or opportunity to download latest. Tech support gives unclear answers as to why, threatens to take down my other site if I persist.  E-mails to 'complaints' result in accusations that the site is trying to phish (no way!) Requests to specify where the problem is (there is no problem) just tell me that the case is closed and to use another provider. So use them only if you don't care if your site is shut down without good reason.]]></description>

As my experience; my server also maintenance almost everyday while everything was charged as normal and all my clients got their TOXIC mails about what going on with my business (it's my internal matter) I just wondered why they did this to my clients I open a ticket and I got their answer "it's obligation."
