Hehe paid visitors, right. I remember that one.

Most every shared host gets hit with this issue with some regularity, function of its user base, webmaster pays to be Ddosed under the guise of "buying bulk traffic". Maybe you should have a warning somewhere? Save you the hassle of restarting servers, naive webmasters the hassle of having to move/upgrade, and the cost of a pointless "service"... Not that they'll all read it, but might be worth a shot.

Thanks for the reply tho - it's a delight to be with a host that shares quality information, timely. 5 stars.
