Threats from Brien to my webhost

[cvrle77]

What you got is fake email and extortion email from your host, move to some host who won't go that low, to ask you for 2000 euros. Just move away from them, you probably got absolutely nothing but fake email from scam host. Nothing new. Old tricks. If it was really BREIN and they got contact by them, your site would be down already, since it's still up, it's not them.

Exactly what I was thinking about the situation cvrle77. It seemed like people where hinting at it, but were afraid of saying it or something. Move to a new web host and don't worry about it.

You must have heard everything is allowed in Russia from another ignorant user. Russia has some of the strongest anti-privacy laws around now.

If it's from the US? They don't give a damn. I've dealt with one of the let's say shady companies there for a good six years now and not one problem. If it was Russian based content you will probably face troubles. As I suggested there is still Hong Kong. If worst comes to worse he could host in Iran. I'm not going to argue on this as I know from my experience.

Also about Altushost, they do make false claims that they need extra money from you.

IF a Ddos that bad was happening they would of unplugged the server at the data center. There is a post there showing some issues with their site...

Brein (mind the spelling, 'Brain' in Dutch) has only jurisdiction in The Netherlands. And even in The Netherlands nobody takes them serious.

But if they don't want to host you, move away. And it looks that your host gave you only info about the 2000 Euros. I fail to see they ask for it.

Sounds like the host trying to scam you... this just seems a little fishy.
