An open letter to Globat.com.

Don't send me emails saying that you're going to automatically "upgrade" me to a more expensive hosting package and then auto-charge my bank account for it if I don't opt-out.

I shouldn't HAVE to opt-out.  If I want to upgrade my hosting, I'll let you know.

What exactly are you calling this marketing plan anyway?  The "Let's See How Many Of Our Until-Recently-Loyal Customers We Can Piss Off" promotion?

Try that again and I'm finding someone else.  Assholes.

This brings back memories of Cyberwings from 2002.

Thing is, I may actually have upgraded to a different package if it hadn't been presented in this way.  But as it is, forget it.

If you're in the market for a new web host, I still stand by Insider Hosting. They've been great for as long as I have been with them.

I'have had nothing but good service from insider hosting as well. Plus, if you search around, you could find a coupon code/promo code that will give you 30% off for life...

Isn't that a bit much for a 30%-off coupon?

Globat's on their last leg with me now.  I might be giving Insider Hosting a closer look if these idiots manage to do even one more thing that ticks me off.  Thanks for the recommendation.
