So, as a result of our gross and obviously terrible negligence, Hostpapa decided that the appropriate punishment was to permanently delete our entire virtual server instance. This all happened within 4 weeks of the invoice due date. According to their invoices the consequence of not paying on time is as follows, "To ensure your account remains in good standing, please process your payment as outlined below. Failure to do so would negatively impact your HostPapa services and might ultimately result in your account's suspension." I guess their definition of suspension includes complete annihilation of your web presence, email etc without any possibility of recovery.
So...HostPapa...you're welcome for years of loyal patronage, and thanks for nothing. Unbelievably poor service and complete disrespect for their customers.
