something like https://snipboard.io/ usually works good to have an embeddable url...
Imgur.com works perfectly. Juicy drama bits.
In all fairness, I haven't used MisterHost in a while, but when I did, I was happy with them and thought they would solve any issue at hand pretty quickly for me. It seems, like it has already been mentioned, in this particular case both parties may have commited errors one way or another. Only skimmed the thread quickly so don't know all the details but I see two entities trying to respond to the issue at hand. Instead of taking this much further, I would recommend for @ZotiMediaGroup to just release the OP's files and be done with it. This is not because I can clearly say you are at fault, but it seems like both parties would benefit in a timely, peaceful termination of this issue.
Regardless of who is at fault, I can't recommend off-site backups enough. Also, testing a new hosting provider's hosting environment/setup thoroughly before actually moving client sites there has proven for me to be an efficient method to help prevent a situation like this from happening.
I think you are still our client if am not mistaken. Did we blocked your account or forced you to pay anything?
Sure, I offered him to apologize in public for the false claims, remove reviews in 50+ sites and we can fix the issue very fast but not posting in forums fake claims and threatening us.
Sure waiting for you so I can go on.
Instead of quoting quoted content, I will address your responses in a numbered order from top to bottom:
The signing up part was the easiest part of the journey. If I never upgraded, I would have never experienced the problems. Yes, I tested it and yes I wanted to upgrade. I never disputed that.
Everything ran smoothly for the majority of the first month after LiteSpeed was configured.
Please also note that I do not have access to the full tickets as you have blocked me from accessing the client area and my original screenshots are on an external somewhere. Feel free to fill in the blanks.
Its not same installing and configuring Litespeed in a server with 4 accounts and in a production server with hunderts of firewalls etc.
I am fairly certain that I have a pre-sales chat transcript referencing that LiteSpeed has been installed on the servers. I will keep you updated on that.
As mentioned in the original post, the PTR record thing was also not a main issue (worth mentioning before the real problems started). The ticket ID is 847528 for reference.
Having issues with your internet Provider and blaming us is not a good.
You are partially correct. Professional providers will block IP's that try to brute force. Your configuration was just way too strict and resulted in a myriad of false positives.
Please note that before requesting that you unblock IP's, I first needed to spend time investigating the issue that the client was experiencing and not everyone is tech savvy. I often had to spend 30+ minutes talking over a phone with clients or remotely access their computers (faster). I was also often swore at and lost a few of those clients in the process.
You cannot expect that your clients and by relation their clients have a consistent and stable internet connection. I never encountered IP's being blocked on any prior host and since I have had my servers configured (hardened and monitored and proactively updated by professionals) I have only had 2 IP blocks for actual clients and they were using incorrect credentials.
For future reference, you could allow for users to unblock IP's manually via your client area (not just for temp blocks) and not need to wait hours where their clients are freaking out.
Again not true. You never talked about websites are not loading:

Never say never when you don't know what information your opponent has.
I mentioned that you refunded me. I requested that the monthly account be upgraded in chat. Not that another account be started. I also referenced this since you seem to have a pattern of sending invoices for services never requested. I can find a few links to recent reviews I've read if you would like me to?
Why do you deserve a thank you? I paid 3 years in advance for the service. If my clients pay for a service in advance and I get a sudden increase in pricing related to the services they already paid for, a). I eat the cost until their next renewal and b). I give them a 30 day notice.
I just had to do that with the latest WHM/cPanel price increases.
To my knowledge, in most countries this would fall under consumer protection and if it doesn't it is a common practice (at least if you care about your clients).
If you want a thank you, you should demand one from your monthly users.
Once again that was referenced in my original post.
Sorry the Entire Screenshot not working something properly.
You received a reply 10 days letter? Not with us. Check the reply date.
The first sentence is false.
The 3rd sentence is false. "Not with us. Check the reply date".
Sure, you first. https://imgur.com/6KwTkOV
The downtime I experienced with several of my sites was around 10 days. That drops your guaranteed 99.9% uptime (annually, not monthly) to 97% or 43minutes per day for 365 days.
Do you have any idea of the amount of crap I had to take from my clients during this time and I was still patient and hospitable in my ticket responses.
It seems you also conveniently forgot to address the claim that you're hosting in excess of 800 sites on small OVH servers. Screenshot referenced will only show the domains not connected via a CDN. Please also note that at least 50 of those domain names contain the word "host". https://imgur.com/DlfM1nk
If you can definitively prove that any claim I have made is false (such as I have now), I will publicly withdraw that statement and apologise.
Hey there. Just checked. Still have account with you indeed but no active service
Didn't delete it because I might sign up again one day. You didn't force me into anything. On the contrary, like I mentioned, my experience with you was positive as far as I am concerned. I agree with the threatening being a bit harsh, but I can't see you benefeting from dragging this on any longer. Regardless of OP, I too have clients I don't want to deal with any more and the best way is to drop them clean and move on from my experience. Just think it will be in both parties best interest to resolve this issue quickly and move on 
Am going to stop here as won't benefit anything if we continue and everyone should judge themselves if we scammed him or not.
Remove 50+ negative and false reviews and threads you created, apologize in public for speaking with "I believe" and not with proves and we will resolve the issue immediately including a refund directly to PayPal of the whole amount.
Just posting another ticket where he starts with threats:
Does the refund rejection and data denial is pure principal? If yes, than you just damaged your reputation, no matter if client was/is wrong. Business always must keep cold, no emotions.
Just for the sake of the community.
@LTniger And the fact that they posted @pctech's private data (which they keep for security reasons only and NOT to be shared publicly) twice on a public forum. For this alone they're in trouble regardless of who is in the right and who is not.
No personal data posted, forgot once or twice the IP but no name, no address not sensible data have been posted.
Lmao. IPs are not private data.
I used the word "believe" and "believing" in the following context on 3 occasions:
They proceeded to close down my entire account. I believe that my offer was more than fair given the issues (from their side, and from my clients as a result of their poor service) and reputational damage I have experienced.
I partially agree with your second sentence. Imagine going through a customer service/support nightmare (which you had minimal control over) and believing it's over for a few months and then just as 2021 is starting to look better than 2020 was, it comes back to bite you.
Both number 1 and 2 are clearly opinion and should not be misconstrued as fact.
Number 3 is the only reference where I may have used it ambiguously. I still stand by it but I will rephrase:
"I believe it was locked on PHP5.6 but I can 100% state that it was not PHP7 as advertised"
Furthermore, I will agree to remove all false reviews and threads I created (of which there are none). and I will apologize in public for speaking with ""I believe" and not with proves".
So that it. Doubt I'll get the refund but access to the client accounts will be most welcome so that I can complete the transfers.
He did not obfuscate the link leading directly to one of my forum profiles containing my one google username, Facebook username and geographical location.
It's the small details that count.
He asked me where it was and I told him. Still have archives, screenshots and video of the thread before that + plus the proof that he asked me where it was with the intention of removal.
IP address is in fact personal data.
https://gdpr.eu/recital-30-online-identifiers-for-profiling-and-identification/
Strange. I can vaguely remember a court case that IPs can't be tied to anyone hence it won't fall under private or/and sensitive data.
Thanks for correcting me tho.
dynamic IP address without name or address do not violate the GDPR policy.
And how do you know OP has dynamic IP address?
Good thing I have a static IP then.
Probably he was my client.
I jest. He left a link to my social profiles in the screenshot. That is more than enough information to identify me.
Moreover, IP addresses can contribute to making profiles of someone, therefore it is still personal data.
"This may leave traces which, in particular when combined with unique identifiers and other information received by the servers, may be used to create profiles of the natural persons and identify them."
https://gdpr.eu/recital-30-online-identifiers-for-profiling-and-identification/
IP + time is absolutely identifying information
IP + time + a link to a local forum that has my social profiles linked (and visible when logged out).
After a phone call with a lawyer, I got it confirmed that posting only a dynamic IP and time is not considered a violation. You are welcome to sue us if you think this is the case.
The link I have posted in the first post was not working.
How the fuck do you know if an IP is static or DHCP? Why would you even think that matters, rather than whether it's a shared IP? Jesus Christ.
Court of public opinion is more valuable to me at this point. Looks like we're staying at the top of the first page for a while.
And the link definitely works. Does anyone else want to try it out? Will send a screenshot.
He confirmed that he added the full stop (link was at end of sentence) in the URL bar. PMSL.
Thank you for accepting a solution, once you are done ping me at bs (at) misterhost.net so I can check and resolve the conflict.
