Turned into a terrible hosting

Turned into a terrible hosting. I have two storage servers from them, one of them went down for a week, support team replied after so long time and their response was "You have full root access", you can use Console. Yes, I used console, but nothing would boot up. Then, their support mentioned their node has issues so the server wouldn't boot up. After that, they provided me with a new server.

After few months, another storage server went down, same response, and I am still waiting for my server to go up. Extremely disappointed and stay away from this hosting for anything related to production.

Hi there, I am sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with us. I took a look at your ticket and would like to clarify the sequence of events.

1. Your server had issues, due to misconfiguration(s) inside the OS that were made by yourself.
2. We offered you a new server, so you could mount the old disk in rescue mode, and move over the data. You refused this, and instead, quite rudely demanded that we fix the issue for you.
3. We clarified that that we provide an unmanaged service, and that you have full access to the server via our out of band console, to resolve any issues that exist.

Please keep in mind that this is an unmanaged service, where we can only assist with issues that are hardware and network related. While we routinely go out of our way to help customers with software/OS related issues as well - being rude to our support staff is not helpful. You will likely have the same problem with any other unmanaged provider (Linode, DO, Vultr, you name it), since no unmanaged provider will take responsibility for issues inside the OS that are created by yourself.

In any case, we wish you all the best, and are sorry that things that did not work out.

It's just getting worst

Been using this service since 2019, the quality has gone from excellent to worst. People used to call it oversold in 2019, but now in 2024, you can call it 10x more oversold now. However, support used to be good before as they would always help you resolve issues, but now, they take 2-3 days to respond and does not provide any kind of solution, they will lose all their old customers because of zero customer service. Downtimes are so common, and their support won't respond. Recently, they migrated our node to the most oversold node without any permission, and we are facing so much performance issues, but they don't wanna fix our issue. Just stay away from this company, they just want to grab new customers now, but don't care about existing customers.

Good servers - but one of the worst support team ever!

Their servers are so good, stable. They also have got many locations. But one major reason why i give them 2 stars is their worst customer support. Their response time during working hours is fine, but their attitude to customers is so bad that it feels like they are offering the service for free. They also don't care about customers, a single complain - and they would ask you to look for another company. Lot of accounts are also being suspended, with a lock that doesn't even violate their ToS, or AUP and arguing with them is very useless as they don't even read whole support but reply based on your title of support ticket.

We offer a great service at a great price and try our best to provide excellent support to our clients, however, when we have to deal with the same clients abusive accounts again and again, yes, our support becomes less cordial with that client/reseller.

We simply do not tolerate abusive accounts/clients. If you're looking for a host that is lenient towards abuse, we are not that type of host.
