This is a horrible and disgusting practice.
It gives those of us honest hosts a bad name and makes it more difficult to generate new business.
I agree that word-of-mouth recommendations are a good place to start when searching for hosts. And remmember, just because a host is big, does not mean they will service your account the way it is needed.
Some of the largests hosts out there, have rules and restrictions hidden in their terms of service that they can use against you to turn off your account or restrict access to your sites unless you pay additional fees etc.
