Keeping in general I think that everybody competing for the low cost market has been stupid. It can't go anywhere and it the profits keep getting worse for the hosts.
Another one would have to be the whole unlimited bandwidth guarantees with the fine print extra charges (a la pagecreators) -
so
1. low cost price war
2. unlimited bandwidth
3. ???
4. ???
5. ???
6. ???
7. ???
8. ???
9. ???
10. ???

1. low cost price war - 3.95 hosting, where is your profit???
2. unlimited bandwidth (impossible)
3. unprofessioanl layouts
4. outdated software
5. resellers claiming to offer dedicated servers (Be true)
6. non toll free numbers
7. connectivity lies (Company: Our servers run on oc192, Customer: Where is the datacenter located and can i schedule a tour. Company: No we can't do that)
8. Unlimited services - (oh you offer unlimited MySQL databases huh? Let me create 50 on an account that i pay 7.95 a month for and see how your server load likes that
9. resellers offering 99.9% uptime - HOW?????
10. online support ONLY - yeah ok
The list can go on and on
