I had a customer whose sites were shut down for "high resource usage." The site was mentioned on the local news and linked to from the news station website causing a traffic spike. Hostgator ignored repeated tickets and calls until the "situation could be reviewed."

I was trying to help get the situation resolved by moving them to a new host but my customer didn't have a website backup. We were locked out of the account so we couldn't even access the files. The site was suspended for 2 full days.

Then, to top it off, when we finally got his sites moved and account canceled they charged him for another 6 months of service. Needless to say that resulted in a chargeback.
