For what it's worth, last time I checked pretty much every host on lowendbox is a customer from ColoCrossing (the owner of the site, data center owner) and there's recently been some shady stuff happening over at LowEndTalk (basically forum side) of spammers and other hosts being unbanned by CC (as they own both sites, and operate LEB, LET is mostly operated by volunteers) , and just recently one host offering 3 year amazing deals, similar/better than what you got, operating for little over a year and little bit after BlackFriday where they again we're selling their 3 year deals just completely closed shop, almost without any communication, and CC deleted any mention of them from LEB.

Not exactly saying your host will do the same, but there's a reason almost all the hosts offer same locations (NY, LA and Chicago), and those specs with that price (even without discount) is unbelievable cheap, maybe too cheap

Thanks for the heads up!

I had noticed that almost all of them had the exact same website, emails and billing software. I assumed that it was like how all sites using Wordpress are essentially the same if you take away the flashy JS stuff.

I am currently paying for a year and if all goes well, maybe update to a 3 yr contract. My plan is to architect the cloud in a way that I can immediately migrate / scale to GCP at the first sign of trouble - so my data / customers etc. should ideally not have issues. But from a cost standup, it's definitely going to be difficult.
