If any domain is exploited it will be suspended and an e-mail notification is sent out to the customer. You really shouldn't have a problem though if you're updating within the same day or two. Most problems we have are with customers running scripts that are several months out of date.
thats nice to hear, ive stubled apon some posts that indicated that dathorn suspends permanenty accounts after 2 hacks. but maybe those were more serious than i thought.

Accounts that are running insecure scripts pose a security risk to the entire server. If your account is "hacked" repeatedly (generally more than twice depending on the severity of the issue), then obviously the appropriate steps were not being taken to properly protect the domain and a permanent suspension is in order.
so if this would be a small defacing or something not serious ppl not get booted from server ? goodto hear.

If someone simply defaces your site, that's not an issue with us. The problems occur when they exploit your scripts to run software directly on the server, spam, etc.
hacked accounts ?
