NoMonthlyFees is a spammer
Hi,
My account has expired and I don't want to renew my account again (ever again). However, they keep on sending me junk mail (daily) saying my account has been suspended.
I am getting sick of this, has anyone has any idea to stop this?
Regards,
Cheers

If you use outlook, just set-up a filter that mail coming from them, automaticly goes to your trash/deleted mails.
Ofcourse you can mail those bastards and tell them to stop mailing you

Yes, I told them two days ago and also asked them politely to stop sending me those emails. Nothing happens.

They did the same to me. I replied (multiple times) to each one. Either they eventually got the message, or their system automatically removed me from their spam list after a certain amount of time.

Probably they have a lot of emails asking them to stop sending email and couldn't keep up with the volume. My recommendation is to call them and take care of this problem on the spot 
I check their website, and I think it shouldn't be that hard because they claim that support is #1 prioirity (if they live by their words of course ...).

I doubt it. I suspect that this is an automatic script that spams expired/cancelled accounts.

It may be their #1 priority, but what are their other priorities? After all, it's all relative. My experience with them wasn't so good. They weren't terrible, but there service wasn't so good.

How can your account expire with nomonthlyfees when you have a $200 lifetime hosting fee....and nothing after that....(things may have changed but I have had a "$200 lifetime" account for about 3 years -- the only time I have had to put more money into it was when my domain expired (still had my static IP to get to my account though) . Then I just waited for them to lose rights to my domain -- and then I re-registered it with another company under my name -- pointed the DNS back to their DNS servers and I was back in business...) They may have changed their business plan for newer users....I would be curious to know if $200 lifetime is no longer lifetime.

Now they have a yearly maintenance fee for $70, which is equal to ~$6 a month.

So now instead of $200 lifetime, they have a $200 setup fee and $6 a month hosting? This makes me laugh -- I bet some of you guys out there running hosts for $5.95 a month would love to get some of that hu? However, when I started my account 3 years ago with them -- it did say that the $200 lifetime was only for a limited time. What they did not say was that even when it was no longer $200 lifetime, they would still (on the surface) be $200 lifetime. Funny stuff.

Well I don't doubt that all the customers quoted on the comments page were happy. For the typical customer with minimal requirements and low (standard) expectations, they're just fine.
When I first started with them, things were basically OK - except for the fact that I kept loosing access to my control panel and ftp. Although they always promptly reinstated them, it was very inconvenient.
However, when I started to use PHP/mySQL/etc, I started running into lots of problems. Their servers were using old versions of these packages and they didn't want to upgrade. In addition I had a number of unsolved mySQL problems. The scripts ran very slowly and my site's response time was poor.
I left them and got my own box. Now I'm as happy as a pig in feces.

Sadly, I live in Australia, hence I don't think it's worth to call them to cancel my account.
