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.
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.
Nice to begin with the journey and move forward with you in near future.
Straight to the point and was helpful for setting up for crypto.
I am still learning the system. Too early to comment.
The chatbot on your home page was very helpful in setting up the VPS he was able to go step by step If I asked any questions. He was very helpful
Recommendation from other users of the service
I was showed by another client how they used your services. It was very easy to see how I could achieve the same outcomes that she showed me.
Referred by our IT Department and so far so good, easy and flexible to use with a great amount of space and I hope we will keep having a good experience all the way! And have more services
So far so good. Everything works great as I expected. I really like how the server is working. Well done
I wish he had just told me which link to click to get to the SSL order form... it took me two days to figure it out! UPDATE: Installation went very well!

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.
