Don’t Get Held Hostage by Big Hosting Companies – Choose Freedom with UK Cheapest

When choosing a web hosting provider, most people focus on price and features. But what many don’t see until it’s too late is how big-name hosting companies use sneaky tactics to keep you locked in – making it difficult (and expensive) to leave.

Common “Hostage Tactics” Used by Big Hosting Companies

1. Auto-Renewal Traps

Most large hosting companies store your card details and automatically renew your domain or hosting plan without proper warning. Some even renew a full year in advance – and don’t offer refunds once the charge is made.

2.  Hard-to-Cancel Accounts

Trying to leave? Good luck. Many providers:

  • Hide the cancellation option deep in the dashboard
  • Force you to call support or open a ticket to cancel
  • Ask you to verify with multiple steps just to stop a simple renewal

3. Locked-In Discounts

That £1 domain or £2.99 hosting deal? It’s often tied to conditions:

  • Can’t transfer away for 60–90 days
  • Full price charged if you leave early
  • Extra charges to access basic features like DNS or email
