Its a crying shame what he and others like him are doing.

They are simply playing hosting arbitrage.

They buy a host with hundreds of thousands of users signed up to cheap multi-year deals, then don't give a shit if their site gets hacked and if they stay or go.

I move dozens of sites away from their brands every month, because when they get hacked and they simply do nothing to help them. Even when the code injection comes from another infected site on the same server, and you would expect them to provide some cross-contamination protection.

In my opinion, what these companies are doing with cheap shared hosting is criminal. They take your money for a year or more with a 'cheap' offer, and then they simply don't care whether you stay or you leave. In fact I think it’s part of their game plan for you to get pissed off and wander off.
Then they have the disk space back again and can resell it.

Not only that, but their servers run so slow anyway, because they are so oversold. It takes effort and knowledge way beyond what the average user possesses, in order to get a site on one of them to load in less than 1.5 sec and be ranked well by Google.

Its up to you of course, but I don’t think your website will ever bring you any benefit ~ no ROI ~ configured as it is on cheap hosting, in general, but on EIG specifically.
