Hey Guys! Here is another reason why you should avoid any EIG-Brand Hosting Company (Hostgator, iPage).
Today I received 15 email marketing messages from them promoting a Hostgator and iPage promotion, I never opted into their mailing list.
MEANING they are scraping the internet for emails. What makes things worst, there is no opt-out procedure.
I did some digging, and they aren't even using their own servers to send the email, they are using a VPS from Linode so that they don't get their own IPs blacklisted.
Dirty Dirty Tactics.
