The alternatives are

- shut it down right now

- take a 'wait and see' approach. Then one day during the course of a bigger investigation they find that your server is hosting CP. Also, you apparently knew about it and didn't do anything (admittedly proving this will be quite difficult and unlikely, but still). In that case, they'll come down on you like a hammer.

Better be proactive. And if you're paranoid about the feds jailing an infrastructure provider who actively came to them asking for help (do you have any examples of where this happened? even just an investigation?), then all you have left is option 1.

The alternative I'm suggesting is to retain legal counsel to determine what my actual alternatives are and their associated potential costs/risks.
