thought ide give a review for them... well first of all i registered with them on there cheap hosting for 3.95 a month for 500mb and 10gbBW oddly enough the cheap price sounded to good to be true i had no problems but then they for some reason emailed me saying they were bought out by webspacepros.com... so im like alright thats fine i already got a contract so my price doesn't change until next payment. so im looking over there plans at webspacepros.com and notice outragous prices such as 30mb 3 gbBW... what a change... anyways to back track also when they transfered over to webspacepros they loaded a backup copy of my site that was 2 months old loosing some mysql stuff but was easy replaceable so no biggie... and just for the hell of it i go to webspace4less 3 months later the websites still up and there taking orders *COUGH*scam*COUGH* i think there hoping that no one notices the change so they can auto bill u for more at next payment or charge u for going over ur space/bw limit now time to look for a new host before my contract ends hope this helps

IANAL, but it would seem to me that when one company purchases a contract for goods or services from another, they are also purchasing along with it all of the terms and conditions of that contract, none the least of which would be the negotiated costs...

...that is unless you agreed to an amendment to the contract at the time that the service switched...

What kind of correspondence took place between you and the new host when this transition took place? Is it possible that perhaps they pulled a fast one on you by sending some fine print your way that may have gone overlooked?

i haven't been charged yet for another term i plan to cancel before it happens i just think it awkward that the site that supposidly got bought out is still up and offering same packages for when i first got it from webspace4less

IMHO they're trying to switch brands but make it look professional. They both appear to be reseller accounts and the WebSpacePros look pretty basic in site design and also very untrustworthy.

They give resellers a bad name. They could be more forthcoming with info and true info as your paying customers, paying customers are not mushrooms (keep them in the dark and feed them $hit).

Due the untrustworthy attitude to date you did right to post and I'd certainly move! A disaster in the making ...
