Let us know about your HIKES.
Today's one just in:
First of all let us thank You for your faith in XetHost's services!
We'd like to inform you hereby about some minor changes.
As our old customer, you surely feel and experience that it's our priority to continuously develop our infrastructure and solutions, thereby providing quality services to our customers. We finished many development projects in 2020.
We made the availability of our services and infrastructure transparent, so you can check if the SLA levels in our contracts are met. It also enables you to get prompt alerts about planned maintenances and possible, unexpected problems as well. These are all publicly visible on our https://status.xethost.com site.
Considering last year's economical changes and industry trends, to be able to provide the XetHost quality level, we had to make minor price corrections for 2021. The change will not be significant and affects customers who choose PayPal to pay their invoices. In these cases, our system will add a +5.4% administration fee to the invoice after 15th February 2021.
In October 2020 we introduced Stripe's credit card payment option, that lets invoices to be paid without an administration fee similar to other payment methods.
In our opinion, the correct way is to communicate it to you.

My window washer increased it's prices by 5% this year.
Only one I've seen so far is Contabo increasing their prices by $vat.

Isn't it against paypals policy to charge extra fee?

Maybe I'm getting my wires crossed, but doesn't PayPal explicitly forbid sellers from adding fees to PayPal-based payments if other payment options are also provided according to their ToS?
Edit: @seriesn beat me to it... bastard

On Bob's breakup:
My ISP (Comcast) is terminating my $30/mo. 75Mbps down, 5Mbps plan in favor of a $50/mo. plan that runs at 25Mbps down, 3Mbps up.
Cheap dedis are my drug, and I'm too far gone to turn back.
Can they even do that? How do they keep customers?
Oh wait, let me guess, they’re a monopolist?
Only ISP around where I live that has acceptable speeds. The DSL provider here (CenturyLink) tops out at 12Mbps down, 750Kbps up, for $50/mo. as well. But at least it doesn't have a data cap like the Comcast connection does.
Should be noted last year Comcast averaged a uptime of 93% last year, while CenturyLink was 100%. So... I pay for both and have it set up in a failover. I work from home (at least for the forseeable future) and need to have reliable internet.
Cheap dedis are my drug, and I'm too far gone to turn back.
Not really a price hike, but everyting but customer friendly.
End of last year my mobile provider offered me a new 2 year contract. Their original price was €35/month for unlimited data/calls/texts. But their sales person offered it for €25/month. So of course I didn't hesitate and said yes immediately. Good deal.
My new contract started last month and the first invoice showed just the normal €35. I though this would be just a simple mistake, so I called the customer service. First agent I spoke to tried to blame me for it, because this was something that really wasn't possible except if I also had fixed services with them (which I don't have and don't want). Bullcrap of course, so I filed a complaint.
Got called back by a more senior agent a few days later. He cancelled my new contract because they really couldn't offer me the subscription for €25. According to him it was a tactic from the sales division. It was probably an easy way to sign more people up for a fixed connection too.
Anyway: switched to the operator I already had a fixed service at. Their mobile network is a bit slower (although they're currently switching all their sites over so getting better by the day) but at least they really offer it for €25/month.
That’s how you burn Billionaire daddys (and investors) money.
