Not only secure hosting, but that organization running the infra being trustworthy. There have been entirely too many rug pulls over the recent years and the list of orgs I trust to host anything is getting smaller and smaller.

Still no word back from customer support. Time to find another VPS provider and hopefully get into the old VPS to grab some data.

No response from my VPS customer support yet or turning my server back on to let me investigate more. If this drags on I will probably abandon this provider and find a new one. I've had this VPS since 2022 because their datacenter was local until they got bought out and seemingly got enshittified.

It turns out that my VPS provider honors UCEPROTECT's spam scoring system which is, for lack of better terms, horseshit, scamming, and exploitative based on what I read here.
