Did BuyVM/frantech raise prices?

I don't think I got a notice or email about them raising prices but I went to pay an invoice today and it was up about 25%. I guess it kinda is what it is, but I'm wondering if they announced the price increase and it's something I missed or if this was a surprise to others.

Yes, you're at least 3 months late

That makes sense. I've noticed issues receiving their emails over the past few months - more often they're not received, and when they are, they end up in SPAM.

Might be worth logging in to your account and going to the email history section. As they use WHMCS it will probably look like this: https://my.frantech.ca/clientarea.php?action=emails

You'll have quite a lot of providers to put there on the coming months... seems to be an unfair list.

It's a butt hurt list. But the whole hosting industry is butt hurt now.

The real metric is whether they will reduce prices once the memory prices crash.
