They pissed me off when they stopped supporting mail forwarding on local
mailboxes. I used to forward my email off to gmail but liked having a
local copy as a backup.

Interesting. I've never had any complaints except for the odd email
about high memory usage when I was running a photo gallery and it was
doing a lot of rendering/thumbnail generation. I'm on a shared server,
though.

 I got grandfathered in at $11/month for a shared plan, it's mostly
 worth it because I can spin up a wordpress site in a couple of minutes
