    Hi. A few years back, another ISP hosting my wordpress site was visited by the FBI. Next day, all of us on a shared server with a porn retailer lost our online businesses due to FBI confiscating the server.

    Question: how do you protect me as a hosting provider from this happening to me if i choose you?

    I don’t have a site linked to this WordPress.com account

    If you’re interested in moving your site here, we have a simple guide to help you do so.

    We have the Premium and Personal plans if you want something more affordable. They don’t allow the installation of plugins or third-party themes, but they have many extra features.

    Please let me know if you need more help!
