OT: Dealing with a hosting company with it's head up it's rear end

[@lbutlr]

RDP I not secure and not securable, so banning it is perfectly legitimate. Banning ssh exposes them as know-nothings.

Find a better host.

>> So how do we/the client tell the hosting company they are full of sh*t

By denying them the money they are relying on to run their business.

They are not provided adequate service. If your client signed a contract that binds them regardless of the incompetence pf failures of the host, then your client is also inept.
