Account Deletion and Security Issues.

[johannaelaine]

I no longer need my free hosting account as I am a paid member, so I would like it deleted. Though I don't remember what information you would like to be posted for you to do that. Also, today when I was going to my cpanel and webmail, I was warned about them being phishing sites, or something. They were blocked and I had to add them to my security exceptions. I am on Chopin if that makes a difference. Sorry I can't be more specific, I wasn't paying that much attention since I know you guys are trustworthy. Thanks!


EDIT: I saw this on one of the other threads.

( X ) Inserting an X inside the parentheses signifies that I have made all necessary backups of my free hosting account and will not hold x10Hosting responsible for any data I am unable to recover after my free hosting account is deleted. The X also serves as my digital signature verifying that I have proper authorization to request account deletion of the account specified.

I'll escalate your thread. As for the security issues, it is due to the way the companies rate the websites. Instead of rating each subdomain separately, it handles each free domain as an entity. Therefore, one bad website lowers the rating for all the accounts on that domain. On the bright side, monitoring those rating pages helps us quickly find malicious accounts
