I've just had a fun 2 hours...
Got an email from Bluehost saying that there might be malware on my site so they have suspended it. I actually have multiple sites, so there are hundreds of files on the list.
They're all crappy personal Wordpress sites. Up to date. Nothing special.
Not to worry - my phone rings and it's their security people. They can roll it all back and patch the problem. They said I need a "dedicated firewall package" and offered SiteLock. Only $300 if I pay now.
Of course, I told them they were having a laugh. Checked with some friends who know their onions who agreed it was a cheeky upsell.
I've a year left on my hosting with them, but I want to migrate away. The company has been a shambles lately.
Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing?
