Customers furious over days-long outage at A2 Hosting

Bewildered customers of A2 Hosting have endured a multi-day outage this week as the company battled to clear some pesky malware from its fleet of Windows Servers. Over the next few days the company’s engineers battled to overcome whatever mystery affliction had befallen its Window services as customers became progressively angrier. A later email (sent at the end of the first day of The Great A2 Outage, 23 April) explains that “our Support Operations team identified a security breach on our Windows services” and so “we have temporarily disabled all Windows-based Shared and VPS services”.
