Don't see this as tricking, it's marketing. EIG offers hosting for next to nothing, and you get what you pay for. If you customer wants to pay for value hosting they can find it by paying more. The other players you are talking about, I don't know how they get customers... it's not easy to get hosting customers, period.

The company buys out hosts offering a decent service at (sometimes) higher prices, then turns them into budget providers with low reliability while trying to keep the news on the low. As for how the other guys get customers... Deals usually. Sometimes literally on web hosting forums, where they talk advantage of the offers section til they inevitably get banned.
