Anyone else feel like they're being scammed into upgrades by Hostpapa to resolve excess resource usage? For the second time in a year my little WordPress site is exceeding resources. They pressured me into upgrading to a more expensive hosting package at the end of '24 to stop this issue. Now they're doing it again.

Site has not been used for 4 years, other than keeping WordPress & plug-ins updated to the latest versions.

Good lord. I tell #HostPapa that $700 for a three year renewal on a #webhosting plan is too pricey, and ask them if they have something cheaper. They respond with a promotional $460 plan 3-year. That seems nice until I dig enough to find out that its renewal price will be $1300!

Dude, I'm trying to cut my ongoing costs, not merely delay the price massive increase. This is a personal website, not a frigging business expense.
