This has only happened to me once, so far, after a bad SQL query started slowing down the server (though luckily I had already moved to my current hosts, and they display a blank page). Though I have seen quite a few examples of people, through no fault of their own, getting hit by a lot of Digg or Slashdot traffic. Whilst I agree that Web hosting companies have a duty to protect all of the clients on a shared server, being nice about it doesn't cost much. As far I can figure, a small html page with a nicely styled message on it can't use up much more bandwidth than the current "Account suspended" pages that are being displayed. @Mike: The WebFaction approach seems like a nice solution.

You can either choose to have your site stay up and pay more, or your site disabled. If it gets disabled you get to choose which message will be displayed !

I recently ran into this situation when they moved my site to a new server. The information in the e-mail made no mention that the address for secured connections on the shared server would change, so the e-commerce portion of the site displayed the "Account Suspended" page. How ugly! I completely agree. I recently ran into this situation when they moved my site to a new server.
