I am not a lawyer but I think they have a contract with you. You paid them money and they have to provide you a host. Very simple. If they shut down your server without any comment they broke the contract. So you can go to judge and force them to fulfill your contract. If they did not even tell you why they shut it down any judge should be on your side (German: "Einstweilige Verfügung") I think they try to go the way of least trouble. Hosting providers get lots of trouble through the police. They just seize the complete servers for months and force the providers to do lots of bureaucracy. This costs money. The problem here is the police. They could make a copy of the hard drives, this would be enough. But they take away the complete hardware. The Hosting Providers think it would be too much trouble to to go to judge against that behaviour. They think it is less trouble to just shutdown the customers host. It is a question of pressure. Who makes more pressure? The customer or the police? If you force them to fulfill their contract they might start thinking about going to judge preventing police to seize a complete server.
