HostGator. They raised their prices by quite a bit last time I renewed. So I contacted them and complained. After a while they came back with a "special" offer to renew at the old price but I had to accept it right then. I felt like I wasn't gonna get a better deal and it wasn't my money anyway, so I accepted.
Got the price they offered but they renewed it two months ahead of when it was due, so it ended up costing the same anyway, because now it will be up for renewal sooner. I will be moving away from them before the next renewal.
TL;DR: HostGator can fuck right off
I used to work for HostGator and sadly that sounds about right. They started going downhill fast after the second buyout.
