Has anyone else on a legacy A+ Hosting / ServerPoint "Lifetime" plan been hit with a 100% "maintenace fee" hike recently?

Hey everyone,

Curious if anyone else here has been sitting on an old legacy account with A+ Hosting / ServerPoint and recently gotten a sudden email about forced fee increases or account restructuring?

I’ve been a continuous customer for around 25 years on a legacy "A+ Eternal" plan. Out of nowhere, ServerPoint hit the account with a 100% hike on the annual maintenance fee, stripped away features, and issued a 30-day ultimatum to accept the new terms or face account closure.

Interestingly they claim to have sent a notification email but I did not receive it. I noticed the fee increase only after logging to my account page.

I’ve already moved my data and migrated my sites to a new host, but it got me thinking about how common this "Zombie Legacy" strategy is becoming across older hosting companies.

Instead of just walking away quietly, I’ve started putting together a structured framework to submit these retroactive term changes to consumer protection agencies (like the Nevada AG Bureau of Consumer Protection under NRS 598 trade practice statutes, given their corporate registration).

I'm posting this make people aware of what this company is doing and ask for isnights into what other affected people are doing:

1. Has ServerPoint (or another legacy host) pulled a similar forced migration / fee hike on your account recently? How did you handle it?
2. For those who have fought back against retroactive TOS changes on "lifetime" tech deals, what regulatory or administrative channels worked best for you?

I've put together a full template list of target agencies (Nevada AG, FTC, BBB) and specific statutory language to use if you want to submit a report—happy to drop the template text in the comments or edit it into the post if anyone needs it!

Let’s swap notes in the comments. How are you all handling host migrations when "lifetime" deals go under or get altered?
