>we may also wildcard your DNS to localhost and set the TTL on your zone out to a year. You’ve been warned

Go ahead, name some "professional" hosting companies with similar practices.

With how tongue-in-cheek the whole document is, this is clearly a joke to emphasize their point (which, I agree, has no place in a legal document, no matter how plain). My point is that everything else in the document is pretty much industry standard, except that others are less...direct about it.

Is it really surprising that a hosting industry company is similar to the other companies doing exactly the same thing? I feel like this is always going to be the case.

It's specifically the weird stuff in this document that makes them stand out from the crowd.
