Couldn't agree more. So many of the small to mid level adult hosts out there are completely shady and ridiculous. I got caught with my pants down when Cogent lost its peering in Octover/November, I would never host on Cogent and even questioned the owner at that price I was getting if it was Cogent. You could imagine my surprise when my server was innaccessible because it was on Cogent, and when I called up to get an answer, they transferred me right to a billing guy and wanted to get my credit card so they could charge me more before they put me on "premium" bandwidth. Eventually they realized I was right (probably because they do this to a lot of people), and moved me back over to premium bandwidth without a charge or monthly increase.
My advice: host with Isprime, they won't pull that bullshit. The big webhosts are big for a reason.. it's because people never leave. These small-mid level guys I would never host with, based on my exprience from hosting with 3 or 4 of them...
