1. We need a bad provider list around here that entire buying audience at large can reference. Bad providers are those spamming stolen customer data, repeat spam factories, those known to and proven to intentionally take money from spammers, criminals, etc. Forthcoming.
2. "f you choose Cheap (affordable) prices then this won't be the first thing your customers will have to worry about."
Cheap is like 85% of market just that. Everything about cheap operations is cheap. From the lack of actual knowledge to not staffing qualified people to having no policies or procedures. The remaining 15% need to ramp up their business and confidence and usually just get out of cheap to better markets.
3. " 1. They where attacked in 2012.... 2. They then again where breeched in 2016, that's a 4 year gap and their passwords are weak / same passwords for important software."
Assuming @Licensecart compared dump data
If this true, the same credentials, then Staminus signed up for more than a hacking.
4. "I know one day a company will get hacked using that trash and it could impact me as-well."
Reason numero uno not to buy things under your real name or something directly attached to your company. Some might find that practice deceptive, so be it. I shop these days for companies that are alternative payment friendly and more interested in having customers and running a service than Q&A research into who their customers are and idle time in customers data and life.
5. "But we obviously also love the service and support that they provide."
No question about it, Staminus excels at DDoS Protection. They need to hire or bring on as a partner someone with operations and security focus though. No way to avoid that at this point.
6. "I don't get why there's so many TWATS in the industry, it doesn't take a bloody genius to know it's illegal to use leaked and private information even if it's open on the world wide web."
Hosting has too many man children. Too many at-risk types. Too many of age, but morally deficient f--k jobs. Most of it comes straight down to fact that they feel there are no implications for their actions. Law on all levels does nothing, even when vicitimized company calls them in. See #1 above. I think this is part of necessary punishment that is overdue for these idiots. Talking about GlobalFrag, talking about Servermania, etc.
