If I hadn't noticed it now, I would be in a lurch come renewal (I'm good for another 6 months). I signed up with netmagics.com (yes, I'm going to name and shame in this case, for the first time ever) for a WHT promo a couple years ago (http://ift.tt/1x3QGhx): $10/year for reseller hosting with 25GB space, 750GB BW, and CPanel. A great deal. There were some hiccups, but I don't really use the hosting for much, so I stuck with them (I got it because it was cheaper than shared hosting and I could create individual CPanel accounts to keep my various domains separate). Now, the main thing I use is the CPanel DNS manager to manage my various IP redirects. My client area shows that in the past 6 months, my bandwidth usage is 0MB (it's probably true; I just have a few GB of documents and other files there that I had uploaded on the off chance that needed to access them remotely).
Anyway, I went into my client area today for the first time in a long time and noticed that the recurring rate listed was several times higher than my promo rate. I contacted them about it and was told that they are discontinuing my promotion and replacing it with a plan that is almost that same price per month. facepalm Of course, there was absolutely no notice of this given - this is what annoys me.
Anyway, what would you guys and gals recommend I do to look for another very cheap hosting plan? I'm most likely not going to stick with the same company, since I'm not comfortable that I can trust them after this unilateral switcheroo with no notice. Fortunately, I'm in no rush, since my previous payment covers me for almost another 6 months, but I don't want to have to scramble at the last moment. I do have several VPS (that are all idling afaik), but I like having my domains hosted separately so that I don't have to worry about if what I'm messing about with on the VPS will require a format to fix. Thanks!
