If your hosting service charges you hidden fees, first, thoroughly review your contract and billing statements for any clauses or charges that weren't explicitly mentioned during your initial agreement. If necessary, escalate the issue to a higher authority or consider seeking legal advice.

Its always recommended to follow these steps for your safety..

1. Keep copies of all emails, chats, or phone calls with the support team .
2. Save screenshots of any relevant billing statements or contract sections .
3. Document the dates and times of your communications .

This documentation will be crucial if you need to escalate the issue further.
