I started off with a reseller hosting plan with a medium level company. They offered whmcs bundled with their plans so it was cheap. I still host my whmcs with them but have acquired another server because as I grew I needed more resources. Only today I have noticed that this host is doing something which I find is very unethical even shady practice. They offer cpanel with softaculous and when me or any of my clients click on softaculous, then my provider's url appears in the title of the page and couple of other places on the page. I am sure this is a recent change. It means my provider is promoting his services to my clients/in other words trying to steal my clients. It doesn't stop just there. When someone installs wordpress using softaculous, my provider's link appears in the footer which says "proudly hosted by blahblahhost . com". I am very shocked to find out this. They are literally trying to steal my clients. What do you guys think about this?
