Reasonable server prices

Reasonable server prices and nice features like web-configured firewall that means you can disable all SSH access and just enable your own IP when you need.

Recently purchased CLOUD VPS plan

Recently purchased CLOUD VPS plan, customer portal was not user friendly, out dated features. In this AI world, till they need to improve. When cancel my subscription, they never apologize or ready hear the reason for the negative action of the customer. For registering .com domain charging $31.08, in name.com or mochahost.com or godaddy it would cost around less than $15. VERY DISAPPOINTMENT in 5days of purchase, no refund with their refund policy statement. Thanks

Hello Suresh,

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about your experience.

I am very satisfied with the service

I am very satisfied with the service. We are cancelling because the Zimbra server hosted on the VPS has already been migrated to Outlook 365, which is obviously hosted in Microsoft data centers. In fact, should any future needs arise, we will recommend Contabo. Thank you very much!
