Buyer question

When should a host suspend a customer after an abuse report?

A suspension decision should follow the evidence, the hosting agreement and the applicable escalation policy. A complaint alone does not establish that the customer violated a rule.

Check severity, ongoing harm and attribution before choosing a proportionate response. Document the basis for the decision and involve the responsible policy or legal reviewer for ambiguous cases. No universal suspension timer applies to every complaint.
