That sounds questionable and also managed dedicated servers should include daily back ups.

Something is off about all this. The security of the box is part of being managed and a week root password should of been requested to of been changed or a password fail with block tool to protect brute force attempts.

If you want to try something else let ms know. http://www.dwhs.com
