Terms Of Service for a Hosting Company

- **** reserves the right to change prices at any time. (meaning open-endedly at any time, including current clients that they could put their prices up)

- **** reserves the right to refuse service and/or access to its servers to anyone. (meaning open-endedly at any time, including current clients, with no reason needed)

Would you host with a company that has those in their terms of service?

Price could go up 4x after you've built up your site(s) and make profit (with script installs which cost money, etc.. so not necessarily a free/cheap or easy move, and potentially loss of revenues and traffic levels)

Company could simply decide they don't want you as a client anymore and have the same effect as stated above.

Does anyone else think it shouldn't be so open-ended?

I looked at National-Net's TOS and they actually guarantee 100% uptime, with 99% connectivity, and don't mention anything about price changes or being able to cut off a client for no reason; or is it implied that they could do that if they wanted?
