their website is a load of shit, so I just do everything with them over 
the phone. They run a call center in the US, so I guess I'm keeping people 
employed or something like that.

I've never had technical problems with them, as all the shittiness they do 
is deliberate, with the auto renew stuf you can't turn off. I just use a 
one time card for everything and they can try to rebill all the fuck they 
want.
