It is a common rule in web hosting that you are not allowed to store personal files not related to the website in your account.
If you want to host your files/backups/whatever, you should think of buying a VPS or a dedicated server.
That is why web hosting is called web hosting, and not file hosting.
You don't pay us to host your files. You can do that in MediaFire. You pay us so we would host your website. And that is what we do. We don't host your personal files.
The previous hosting site I owned has nothing to do with the new one.
With the old one, I made many mistakes, which I haven't done this time.
Also, I'd like to clear up a few things,
First, the previous site did not have any paying customers. And so, nobody was scammed. Every customer was noticed before the servers shut down.
Second, the site was not shut down for using illegal software, it was shut down by me, as I decided I have to think the hosting business through, and that the current company was not able to succeed in any way.
If the site is slow for you, it might be due to the fact our servers have experienced 4 medium-strength DDoS attacks in the past few days. As our servers are still well protected, no data were lost, and the server didn't get any downtime, they were just slowed down for some time. It is clear that someone is either so bored or so stupid to just try take down other sites. We have reported these attacks and a legal action will take place.
As for your question if this host is illegal, no. We pay taxes, have all-legit software and everything else. We are absolutely legitimate.
