10% Price Increase (again) by Hostmantis
Under the pretext of cool term "price adjustment" the not-so-favorite hosting provider Hostmantis again increasing its pricing accross all hosting products, cpanel/DA/enterprise from March, 1st, 2024.
I was their customer earlier and still receiving emails in my spam box. Here's the latest annoucement for them:

earlier their pricing to quality ratio was really good. Then price started rising and quality gone down, then many of the users who are active on LET left Hostmantis. Not honouring lifetime/recurring coupons, hiking prices by 70% to 300% just after their recurring promotions gets over (so you've to renew services at non-promotion price), and such other things made Hostmantis look SCAM so most of users left when they were getting sold to another provider, I was wondering this scam shop is still alive!
How many of you are still with Hostmantis??

Who was the original owner that founded HostMantis?
Scott from Michigan was founder-owner. Later it got sold to some canadian provider called DynamicHosting, and then to Likuid, a french-canadian owner.
It makes sense to me, honestly. cPanel is just increasing prices every year at this point and hosts are expected to eat it without much backlash, same with WHMCS and Plesk. It used to cost something like $45/month for unlimited accounts, now cPanel is making yearly price "adjustments" in order to "better" their products.
Hardware and power costs are just starting to go up at this point, things are starting to get more expensive in some cases.
I don't blame them for wanting to increase pricing, 10% is not that much.
I got banned from LET for saying what I think about HostCantis so I’ll shut up.
But I hate them.
I don't think any LET user still using their services.

Shouldn't that be HostCuntis?
It was solid trash host for warez sites and other abuse.
The stuff which providers which would ban you immediately for, was fine at hostmantis. Nobody seemingly gave a flying fuck. I think my shared hosting plan was using tons of CPU due to cloud mining of shitcoins back then cause I gave access to my friend who immediately abused the crap out of it.
I literally decided to test if they care at all about resource usage and let it run. The provider was seemingly on autopilot.
I’m fine with both
Really they should just rebrand to PriceHikeis and be done with it
Are they still priced for the LowEnd?
Not price-wise but they’re low end in most other aspects. Hope that’s good enough for you.
right, cpanel does increases pricing, but hostmantis increased them by 25% last year, and prior to that some users annual plan costing $30 went to $180 on renewal. Also, directadmin never increased per account pricing, still Hostmantis asked for site-wide price increase! No host ever hiked prices in this way. Also, when the host was aware cPanel would increase the price every year, they should have not got recurring promo and then once users purchases fo $x amount they're invoice $xx on renewal. Hostmantis very well knew they were falsely promoting the hosting plans, both cpanel/directadmin, and that where I and many other left. Today I'm hosting since two year with racknerd, buyshared, and other host with recurring deal/offer/pricing or regular pricing and never found anyone increasing them for renewal unless the upstream (cpanel) drastically hikes pricing.
I would love to receive an email like that, but with a price drop. I never received a n email addressed respectfully with a price drop.
