  • Hostinger permanently suspended my 8-year-old website for “phishing” without providing proof – need advice
    by /u/CommandingQuiet on March 11, 2026 at 6:15 am

    Hi everyone, I need some advice regarding a very frustrating situation with Hostinger. I have been running a website called sarpublisher.com for more than 8 years. The website mainly publishes: Educational content MCQs for students Public information like bank branch codes Recently, my hosting account was suspended permanently after an abuse report claiming that one of my pages contained malware / phishing. The page they referenced is: sarpublisher.com/peoples-bank-grandpass-branch-7135-126/ The page simply contains public bank branch code information, like: Bank name Branch name Branch code It does not collect any user information, no login form, no payment, no data submission, nothing. Despite this: I scanned the entire site with malware scanners Hostinger’s own malware scanner also showed no malware history They could not provide any technical proof or malware logs Yet they claim the page was “impersonating Peoples Trust and Savings Bank and collecting sensitive information.” This makes no sense because the page is just informational content. Even more confusing: They said this was the third incident But during the previous two suspensions there was no malware record Now they say the suspension is permanent and non-negotiable They also refused pro-rata refund. Here is the strange part: Hostinger also admitted that they have no malware logs. They just say they acted on abuse reports. My questions to the community Can abuse reports alone lead to permanent suspension without technical proof? Could my site have been automatically scraped or mirrored by phishing bots, causing a false report? Is this a known issue with Hostinger abuse handling? What hosting providers are safer for content / knowledge websites with thousands of pages? I feel extremely frustrated because this is an 8-year-old legitimate knowledge website, and I have done nothing related to phishing. Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. https://preview.redd.it/ljs2ksiuycog1.png?width=1217&format=png&auto=webp&s=b27fb2645672c821a4ffe4840af7b411159d079c submitted by /u/CommandingQuiet [link] [comments]

  • Current host charging $750 for traffic spike.. better alternatives?
    by /u/jokesondad on March 10, 2026 at 11:49 pm

    I have a client site that is in the middle of a huge album launch. Our current host is just not handling it well and they want to charge $750 just to cover the hits this week. Details – single page dynamic site, with a single form, and links out to album sales. Concurrent traffic during drops ranges from 1500 to 8000. 150k visitors a month. What hosts do you recommend? Saw Rapyd Cloud a few times – can they handle this? Anything else you’d recommend? Most of our clients don’t have this type of traffic so the current host has been fine but has recently had some resource errors even for smaller sites so hoping to move all our sites over. Thank you! submitted by /u/jokesondad [link] [comments]

  • What’s a good board game for guests after dinner?
    by /u/juanjop on March 10, 2026 at 5:38 pm

    When I have people over for dinner, the conversation usually goes on for a while and then there’s that moment where everyone is just kind of sitting around. I’ve been thinking it might be fun to bring out a board game to keep the evening going, but I don’t want something too complicated or long. What’s a board game that works really well for guests after dinner? submitted by /u/juanjop [link] [comments]

  • Shared hosting at bluehost limitations
    by /u/daniyum21 on March 10, 2026 at 7:59 am

    Anybody with decent traffic using shared hosting at bluehost (old hostmonster)? Apparently if your domain names makes around 500 requests A DAY, they start limiting you ( in my case all domains go down until I reach support) It feels weird because a small web application can run through those limits pretty fast! 500 a day, not a minute! Anyone knows a better shared hosting before going VPS route? Thanks 🙏 submitted by /u/daniyum21 [link] [comments]
