thekid89867yI used to work for a web hosting company in dedicated support. This doesn't surprise me even a little. I get calls from people selling shared hosting using cpanel/plesk asking for assistance because they have have no idea how to admin the box and wouldn't hire an admin.
Side note: Why are you still with them. They obviously doesn't care about security. Which makes me question how secure your info is on there side. If you are staying with WP I would suggest thinking about just using Wordpress.com. -
Linux434907yAs I said before, cpanel is a virus. Also thoose providers that have cpanel should not exist

thekid89867y@Linux I agree 100% with you on that one. Just don't forget to lump Plesk in with them.

I bought hosting and domain last year, I uploaded my site and left it for months. Last month I logged onto my webhost's user panel and the "login to cpanel" option of my hosting directed me to someone else's premium hosting, I realised it late and I had already deleted whole of the WP site as I presumed it was mine. I left the database intact, reached out to the domain owner getting the info via whois, surprisingly he is was all fine losing his merchant navy academy website.
However, I WAS NOT FINE because I am not fucking expecting my webhost to give someone access to my hosting, just like I got access to his.
Been two weeks and they are unable to fix it and I am pissed off. I had no urgent need but I WANT ACCESS WHEN I WANT.
They are not as big as GoDaddy but they are a reputed hosting provider in my country with nice and fancy WP domain etc management portal and everything. I never expected this from then. How the fuck would they let this happen.
