Latest negative review	Be aware of misleading... Sep. 8, 2020 Reliability 2.0 Pricing 2.0 User Friendly 2.0 Support 2.0 Features 2.0 "Everything Unlimited" is far from being unlimited... We have been GreenGeeks customers for over 5 years and out of the blue ... More they had revised their plans in the background. New inode limits set at 150K caused our account to get flagged and forced upsell conversation with the support started. Until today, they never officially announced or informed about this change to their existing users. Neither do they list this information within the plan details. So, lesson learnt, GreenGeeks ToS allows them to do whatever, whenever, without any limits. They are the only and last arbitrator to rule over their ToS, which quite frankly is a bad joke. To top all this up, we have more than a year left in our billing cycle, which GreenGeeks refuses to refund, yet they are happy to close our account. Fair deal? TLDR; BE AWARE OF UNJUST BUSINESS PRACTICES AND SKETCHY TOS. Less	Be careful with this h...
