After 10 years as a webmaster I have been very disappointed! I have been with one.com from the very beginning. As a webmaster I have preferred to have 1 single supplier to my clients. Their services were good at start, but then something radical happened and from the year 2014 their charges have TRIPLED and shot through the roof:

Now of course the provider will say: "we have improved our services and made sure you get the best of todays market, we have given you more space and improved on the web builder, cyber security and analytics!"
Now imagine the same business module at a car dealer, it would look like this:
--------------------
=>In 2010 you pay £399 all inclusive and they though in a free service, MOT and mileage, because they are a new car dealer and need to attract clients. They ask you if you want to have a reseller discount and support you in your planning.
=> in 2020 you pay triple £1,199 because they hired a new Customer Help line, employed new techies and got some new diagnostic tools. You don't get your MOT and service any longer, although you have brought in a steady clientele for past 10 years.
Nobody has asked you if you find their new charges fair, how they can help you to grow your business and if you plan to expand. Following this partnership agreement you close down the business.
This is how my work with one.com looked like for past 10 years.
Would you stay with the same supplier?
Godaddy offer comparable package with no web pages limit and no web-space limit for 49per year. That's where all my client run off to.
