I’m surprised to see DataPacket in the list, only because I thought they (aka Brian) would be out of business by now.
If you want to see some of the b.s. some of us former clients have gone through, check out this link http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=403691 where I have posted my issues that I have had with them (the best part is page 3), and yes, my posts are under the same name as here.
Also, after reading that, go here http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=453640&highlight=datapacket+pressrelease and read post #14, which is a copy of his “fraud scams abuse” letter.

I think as consumers we should warn each other about bad webhosting companies. The top of my list is Webhostasp.com. They claim the free 30 day trial period but the server doesn’t work properly. When you ask webhostasp.com they will give you useless advice to make time pass and after the 30 days, they will no longer answer your questions. I have asked for a refund since they cannot solve the problem but they will just answer back telling you “No Refunds”. Then they continue to ignore emails. I am in the process to put a complaint to all any anything related companies to Webhostasp.com including their domain registrar, Better Business Bureau, their online merchant. I will list this on all forums possible so that I warn people about this fraudulent company. I have also checked other companies hosted on this server and many are all illegal run websites such as gambling, viagra and junk mail spammers. If I knew this before I would have stayed miles away from this illegal hosting company.
You are welcome to write me an email if you are a victim or would like to make a class action suit against Webhostasp.com. Pls email: cashzzz@hotmail.com.
Here is the info in case you are also a victim:

We had hosted our site with webhostasp in july 2006 for one year. we had selected webhostasp for their low cost and good features. With in one month of hosting of my site, the server has crashed. they said that to compensate the lost data of my site, they are going extend my site on another year with out charging. After one year they automatically renewed my site and they charged from credit card. we sent several mails regarding the refund of amount charged. they said they are going to refund. with repeated mails also they didn’t refund my amount and they stopped responding to my mail. We also stopped sending mails regarding refund. Suddenly from last one month all the mails of my domain has stopped. we cannot send are recieve mails from my site and even i cannot login with my postmer account. Regarding this we sent several mails, they didn’t reply for a single mail. Now we cannot even login to our control panel. Every thing is stopped now. can any one help me in this regards.
