Zerigo (VPS, DNS, etc) and 8x8 (Vo-IP) are two companies you should avoid. Why? They send spam.
I have two accounts (soon to be zero) at Zerigo. Today I received two spam emails from 8x8, one email to each email address I used at Zerigo. At first I was puzzled, because I didn’t use unique email addresses, but getting the same email at the same time to different accounts made me suspicious.
A Twitter search revealed the mystery when I saw this tweet:
@zerigo did you sell your email list to @8x8? I just received a spam email from them to an email address I only gave to you.

8x8 acquired Zerigo in June 2011 but that’s no excuse for this behaviour.
The front page of Zerigo states:
At Zerigo, we care about our customers, and that has guided every decision …
Apparently just some bullshit they wrote to fool you. Please avoid Zerigo.
