Typing my username and password i was able to access the very rute of their server i dont know how, access all files of the sites hosted by affinity.
I called affinity.com and notified them about the error. First, they could not belive me, then then tried to convince me it is not possible and finaly promised to do something about it. well it is already good couple of hours affinity did not take any action.
My advice is do not trust affinity.com to host your site. never.

It does not come as surprise that a thing like this can happen. Neither is the reaction from the sevice person.
You also have to talk to the right person. Their marketing manager took time and flew to Stockholm to meet us. After that I have contacted him direct whenever I have concerns that customer support does not handle satisfactory.
I have experienced a lot of incidents, like the DNS servers been down, mail servers stop working, anonumous ftp was opened for many of our accounts, etc.
But in all, that is what you get from most hosts over a period of time. To Affinitys defence, I have to say that they have fixed the problems and compensated me afterwards.
On a standard unix machine the most lowly user can do a command like "ls /" to receive a list like this:
cdrom floppy initrd mnt proc t usr
bin dev home lib root var
boot etc lost+found sbin tmp
That doesn't mean I can read files I'm not supposed to. E.g., I type ls /root and I get this:
ls: /root: Permission denied
