  1. Sure, I can understand your concerns, though I think being on same server wouldn't necessarily mean you are in danger even if my wordpress site gets exploited. We are like neighbors on a street, a burglar breaking into my house doesn't necessarily mean he can break into yours. And this is not to say that I do not try to beef up my house with locks and security alarms. Of course I would want to to keep updates to the latest, but with wordpress, themes and plugins updating every so often, how feasible is it to keep updating without any concerns for compatibility across all components? I do agree if any site on shared host is discovered to have a big vulnerability, then Hawkhost could and should let the site owner know and the options available. At worst, the owner could bring it down first while finding solutions to the issue. No owner would appreciate straight off deletion of his site without even a chance to address the issue. And to Brian, I really appreciate Hawkhost's flexibility to give customers what they want without imposing too much restrictions. I am already won over by this and will be submitting my web hosting order in a while. How long does it normally take for web hosting orders to be processed?
  2. Hi, I am interested to sign up for a webhosting plan for my ecommerce website. I am not expecting a lot of traffic initially so I intend to try out the basic shared plan first and will upgrade later if traffic exceeds the basic plan. A few questions in mind before I make payment: 1) If I make a one year payment, can I change plan anytime during the one year? 2) Do you have any issues with customers hosting ecommerce websites on a shared hosting plan? 3) I have an existing wordpress website with lots of theme customization already done, can I port it over (meaning I am using my own wordpress version), instead of using the Softaculous version? Will also require ability to create DB in phpMyAdmin. Reason being I had bad experience trying to upgrade wordpress and the theme versions, so I will prefer not to touch them and port over manually to Hawkhost. 4) Do you have minimum wordpress version which customers must be at? If so, will you suspend account if I am unable to upgrade due to (3)? 5) I wish to host in Singapore where I am based, but I see some threads mentioning your SG servers are quite overloaded. Will you let me move to another server if the one I am currently residing on is really having bad performance? Thanks for your quick response!
