It has not been the easiest or even a enjoyable experience i must say. Not beginner friendly at all, staff dont even look at you or make eye contact to even smile at each other let alone us patients.

Bad experience
June 6, 2022

I had a bad experience, I chatted the support and enquire if port 25 is open, and they said it is open by default so I got a VPS to host email server for a client and discovered port 25 is closed. Then I chatted the customer care and they referred me to a team that claimed that because I have spam that my account is suspended, and I reply that I just got the VPS I haven't installed anything at all, and they claimed that the system automatically detect and flagged my server, funny, even their system detects spammers before they even begin to use their service. I demanded for a refund since I can't use the assistant, and the consultant was requesting for my credit card details that I used to purchase the server with an ID card before the port will be open, I refuse and demand refund I never got rather they were demanding for my credit card details and ID card.

Company requires too much information for verification. To verify a US Citizen is too easy. Why not take the person's name or ID and enter the information on any background check app and get the details instead of requesting that many documents be sent.
