I would like to know if i close account, has there any charge fee?
why not ask him directly? because they don't have reply me almost 30 hours.
also moneyback has time limited, i have no time waste)
(Odd, they reply first in support but billing....)
anyone has refund experienced?
I want to say a few words about my current hosting provider Webhostgiant.com.
I have signed up with them in May of the current year, when thought that this provider has low prices and that would be good to save a few dollars on hosting.
I host a domain webpersonally(dot)net with Webhostgiant.com. Now, after five months of dealing with these guys, I can say that I have done the correct choise. During this time I have never experienced any downtime for my site. I do not say that downtime is impossible, but I just haven't felt it on myself. When I needed to get onto the site, or control panel I could. No matter of location site loads instantly.
Their support tickets are answered within half an hour providing the understandable help on my questions. Actually I did not asked them about anything, except for the time when I just signed up and a little before.
At the end I just wanted to say, that I am completely satisfied, with the service provided and the quality of the stuff. Maybe five months is not very long, but still I think I have made a good choise.
if there is anything I can do to make ImHosted answer my emails. I signed up like two months ago. Asked a support question got no real answer. Just circles I guess they don't know much about hosting or just like talking in circles. So I canceled in about 3 or 4 hours. Then after a week of sending many emails they finally refunded after I started a paypal dispute. I forgot to cancel the subscription in paypal so the next month I was charged the 30 bucks. Now they answered first email and said they would take care of it.
Now two weeks has gone by they don't respond to any emails and the chat says that its billing and I have to contact them only by email. So now I guess I'll have to wait for paypal to try to get my money back. Its sad I don't have an account with them but they won't give back my money. I would watch using there service. There servers are deathly slow. Nothing works like it should. They have support chat but really all they do is have you submit a ticket.
I don't want to pre-empt too much but has anyone here succesfully received a refund from EuroVPS?
I was a long time lurker here and see that they seem to get good reviews so I signed up a VPS there. Now I'm not sure it was the right decision. I've asked for a refund and its all gone silence for 2 weeks despite repeated and polite emails as well as phone calls.
no needs to go or to stay with a poor company like liquidweb, all i can say about liquidweb is: "They love money more, more and more then a customer"
They stop to offer a money back guarantee. why? a man from liquidweb may tell us.
any way, i cancelled my vps, they took my money, hope you enjoy (LIQUIDWEB)
I've sent in for my refund over 7 days ago and still nothing. I've also got a ticket here which hasn't been replied to within 72hours. Pc-Core just give me my refund all I want is my money. I'm sorry you might be busy or something but just give me my money.
I've been waiting forever you should just give me my money!
I purchased a dedicated server from Iweb back in October, I was paying 134.00 a month, no setup, etc.. After 3 weeks, I decide that a dedicated server is not what I need, and cancel. I attempt to cancel, and basically have to deal with my account manager only, as no one on Live Chat, etc.. can help me for whatever reason. Iweb has a 30 day money back guarantee, I have been waiting nearly 4 weeks for a refund. During this time, I have been getting overdue notices as well as today getting an invoice that I had a "Successful Payment" to Iweb for 134.00$ (the cost of my monthly service.)
I have been in constant contact with my Iweb manager, who is "very disappointed" in the accounting department and will process the refund immediately. Now, he is going to "talk to his boss," to get things sped up.
Today, I log in to web chat to talk to him, and he is "busy," and will call me when the refund is complete.
All in all, the actual web service was good with Iweb, however, their business practices are the worst I have seen thus far. Everything is this round-about procedure which is painful to deal with.
My philosophy is, if I can pay YOU for your services immediately to get started, then YOU can pay ME just as quick. It wasnt like I could get my dedicated server started with a "I'll pay you as soon as accounting writes you check in a few weeks." Extend the same courtesy to me.
Last week I asked my friend to pay gplhost.com for VPS server EUR25 through paypal. They said they require to authenticate me in order to set up my account. Since paypal account is not mine I was unable to pass this authentication. I said, it's OK just refund me my money. They refused to give me my EUR25 back saying they will report me to authorities for "credit card fraud"!
I understand that my behaviour MAY seem suspicious but isn't it my right to refuse give my personal information to anyone? And isn't it my right to receive refund if I don't want to disclose it?
Shall I advise my friend to initiate dispute with paypal about that? I won't give up until I get my money back.
vaserv does not reply my emails now that Rus has kindly provided me a refund ( after my node has been wiped and before that my backup took almost 14 days to get made and after that the catastrophe took place)
Ive sent 3 emails asking for this ( maybe 4) and no one replies back..
I purchased some services from hostfresh.com but after waiting 3 days for my hosting to be set up (just basic web host space) i decided to switch to wrzhost.com where i was ready to go within 10 min of buying the services. I sent a support ticked to hostfresh(before i asked for the refund) and a lady told me to contact sales , when i told her i was getting no reply she again told me to contact sales so i bought else where. I emailed sales and billing 2 times each and sent 2 support tickets to them over a week and a half but have gotten no reply at all and when i sent a ticket to the lady that was actually replying , she now wont reply to my tickets also.
Anyone else have a problem with them and how did you get your refund?
Paypal was used to pay
I initiated a account cancellation on around 31st July through sending an email. In response I was advised to open a ticket by logging into the Control Panel I did it as requested. Till now account is not canceled and day before yesterday I got charged for another month. Actually thats the time I came to know that its still not canceled. Since then I am contacting FH HelpDesk and I am just getting the same reply "I have put a note to my manager" It's happening for two days now. Yesterday I was told my request will be closed by late evening and I will be given the refund...but no action.
Now I contacted them again, got the same reply "I have put a another note to my manager"
I know probably I am whining out my fustration but waiting for a month and then manager is "unable" to take a look at note by the support...not sure whats happening
To the full disclosure, I had signed up multiple times with FH (may be 6-8 times) in a year or two period and had canclled the account on differnet occasions (due to my busy schedules I am unable to maintain the site) and I have always got a fantastic service to say the least...but this time...
I would like to share my 8 day experience with Steadfast.net.. while it end up with me with a refund, I still highly recommend Steadfast.net as the refund was through no fault of theirs
I asked Steadfast.net several pre-sales question and they responded very quickly despite I was just window shopping. Satisfied with the information I received, I signed up for a Basic Plan with them on the 19th of Nov.
Turn of events:
1. I set up Prestashop shopping cart on Steadfast.net, everything worked
2. Turned on Friendly URL in Prestashop, not working
3. Sent a ticket to ask if URL Rewrites were enabled, answer was yes
4. Installed a script to test URL Rewrite on/off, confirmed it was on
5. Troubleshooted myself, spent hours, reading Prestashop forum
I made a mistake to purchase a new hosting account, and I requested the customer support to refund the money back to the original gift card. But when I use the gift card to purchase other product, it shows no enough credit.
Anyone know how long the refund money could reach the original gift card and then I could purchase other product?
I've not posted feedback for past providers that haven't been so good, but due to bad service and a lack of refund after nearly 2 weeks, I really need to post my situation.
The site is pc-core.net, and they have had some fairly decent offers going on WHT.
After 5 days of good service from the dedicated provider PC Core, I ran into possibly the worst 10 days of running a website I’ve ever encountered and a further 12 days without a refund.
Here’s my story.
I signed up for a dedicated host in September, and my machine was made active on 25/09.
The server went down 5 days later on 30/09, and it took more than 24 hours to get it back up. So now we’re running on late 01 Oct 2008, but slow and sometimes unresponsive. The site then goes down completely on 05 Oct 2008. A response on 06 Oct 2008 saying they’re looking into the situation. Had to then wait 2 days, and post 3 replies to get a response on 08 Oct 2008.
One last response on 09 Oct from support, then I had to update the ticket 10 times to get another reply on 14 Oct 2008.
The server was down for 9 days with little to no response from the tech support, despite me continually trying to contact them.
Server back online briefly, then down again on 15 Oct 2008.
On 16 Oct 2008 I placed a ticket applying for a refund, which should be instant and my account cancelled instantly. Refund request finally got through on the 18th, server down but my account on their site is still live (so I’m still being invoiced via PayPal).
Their refund policy:
If for any reason you are unhappy with our service, and wish to leave during the first 30-days, PC Core will refund your purchase price less applicable fees in full.
It’s now 30 Oct and as I write this I’m still waiting for a refund (12 days waiting for a refund, still no response), still waiting for my account to be cancelled and I’ve posted numerous tickets asking for an update during the last 12 days.
I was told that they may pay me for the remaining days I had left after cancelling.
Surely a full refund is in order? Or at least the downtime and remaining time for the month.
I’ve been with 4,5 dedicated providers in the last two, three years but I have never seen any take more than 5 days to respond to server downtime, it’s appauling. The only thing going for the provider during my month with PC Core was that the staff were kind and helpful when they were around to give it.
I signed up for 3rd Rock Hosting's smallest plan and pre-paid a year because it was inexpensive and after EpicVPS's server magically deleted everything I had no reason to use a bigger host as my data was gone and my most recent backup was too old to do me much good.
The account got set up immediately, however there were problems such as my bandwidth allocation and number of email accounts and such were half of what they were quoted to be on the webpage. Ok, got a ticket in and got that sorted out no problem.
Then, something happened to 3rd Rocks upstream host and the site was down for two days about two weeks into hosting. They've had this problem before and I knew about it and decided to chance it. Bad decision I guess.
A week ago or so I got an email telling me to change my DNS as they moved to a new server. What? New name servers? Ok. I use my own DNS but updated the A records to the new IP's. This is where the trouble began, once everything resolved I could access my panel but none of my pages load! It just loads a blank screen and even view source doesn't show any of my php pages. I logged into the account via FTP and sure enough my files/data are there.. just nothing loads.
Not having to want to deal with this headache I politely asked my account be canceled and the 30 day refund honored. I was greeted by Mark asking if I changed my nameservers and when I told him I had modified my nameservers to reflect the new IP's he offered me two free months.
I stated that with the trouble I've had in the last 30 days; going past the 30 day trial would give me no 'out' if more trouble occurred. Mark stated he'd give me a refund 'ASAP'. This was Sept 1st. There's been no refund and I've shot off two more questions in the support ticket without answers. My 30 day 'guarantee' ends in just a few more days so I'm trying to get this done before hand of course.
I'm -> <- this close to filing a paypal complaint and escalating it. Being incommunicado with me for 2 days while you scrounge up $20 bucks is baffling.
I joined epicvps on 28-April-2008 and on 29 the same month I asked a refund minus 1$ for almost 2 days of use (him refunded me the full amount I paid).
The VPS was 28.49 because I used a coupon for the first month.
I paid 28.49$ because I also wanted a server hardening optimization and security settings against crackers.
The speed was ok, the VPS access was given to me in less than 6 hours from the payment time.
Ray called me after 2-3 hours after the server was up to ask me about the service, was a nice gesture from his part, also informed me that I can call him if I have a emergency related to the VPS.
I never used his ticketing system, all his replies where under 3 hours.
Him also tried to convince me to remain by using his services 1 more month and to refund me this month but I refused because I don't trust him 100% percent, after 1-2 years from now on, if it will still be there and the customers will be satisfied I will buy another VPS from him.
epicvps has a template for LxAdmin DNS that I did not found on a other company that I don't want to mention because today I use there services (shared).
After chating with Ray on epicvps online support I understood how to set-up the DNS using the 2 IP's that him gave to me.
The reason of the refund was a downtime of 42 minute on 29-April 2008, 1 or 2 packet loss from the checkers, I use Pingdom in the present, checking at 1 minute interval.
I had a nice conversation with the owner Ray Amaresh, is from India, I was afraid that I will not get the refund and I can't do anything.
When I chosen his company I did not checked his location, only server location, and that is a datacenter in Dallas.
Ray refunded me in less than 10 minutes from the chat.
I told him that I will probably come back if the service quality will improve and I will because I like people correct peoples and I hate scammers.
I don't like to asks for refunds because I want always quality in what I buy, probably was a datacenter problem, not his fault but up-time is very important for me.
If Ray will allow me I will use a checking service in the future for his main website to show to others the quality of the server where the main site is: ping (network), http checking.
Low prices does not seem to be from overselling but because there are not 20-30 people working 24/24 so you can get a low cost if you have less people but good in what they do.
I hope that I did not forgot anything if I did I wait for Ray replay to complete the review.
The conclusion is:
Ray the owner of epicvps is a great person and I hope that the money that him will make will not change his behavior.
It is a genuine review, I tell the good and the bad VPS service parts.
I spent 6 months trying to get DotNetNuke up and running. Servergrid web hosting puts way too many sites on the same server. My site would sometimes take over 5 minutes to load. Often it would not load at all. I cancelled my subscription with them and two months later I have still not received my refund.

i asked for a refund for the months i havent use yet, and they wont refund me, they just say that i will get credit, but i think it is not fair he can not hold my money for a service that has not been provided yet, im not asking for a full refund, just for the months i prepaid
i have 268 dollars in favor, i offer a deal to jay to just refund me 218 dollars instead of 268, and now he is not responding my tickets i have been waiting more than 24 hours to get a response
i have been hosting as a reseller with gazzin.com on their windows servers for past some years and in this period i suppose they have shifted their datacenter more than twice causing a great problem to me and all my clients.
the latest period of the shift being going on currently i request you all to go through the transcript below which i had with their support center. when we talk about a refund for this downtime i suppose the owner 'PAUL' just stops responding ......
I signed up with service from infinitie.net after seeing an offer they had on this link [url]
This was on July 21st about 8PM EST. Link above states "PLEASE ALLOW UP TO 2 HOURS FOR YOUR NEW VPS ACCOUNT ACTIVATE ONCE ORDERED."
First reply took 8hrs, second 9hrs, third 5hrs, and to this date I haven't heard back from them since Jul 23, 2007 2:32 PM EST.
Incomplete login details were issued on Jul 23, 2007 2:32 PM EST. However, message stated "CPanel is finalizing its install and will be complete in 2 hours." I immediately asked them to please advise when setup is complete on Jul 23, 2007 2:56 PM EST. After not hearing anything back I decided to cancel and emailed request at Jul 24, 2007 2:54 PM EST.
I have a couple services I'm happy with elsewhere. I more or less just wanted to separate an account and see what other options were out there. I wasn't bothered by the fact setup was slow. The main issue was if they take this long to reply and handle simple issues prior to setup, what happens if I'm setup one day and there is a more serious issue? Since initial cancel request I attempted to contact them on several other occasions by both direct email and their ticket system. I never received a response other then the standard automatic "Thank you for writing to Infinitie's Support Team."
I have disputed transaction with paypal today. At a last attempt I emailed infinitie.net yesterday and told them unless refund was issued this is action I would be forced to take. No response so I proceeded. I will update and let you all know how this turns out.
After last time their system crashed, I have cancelled the VPS service/account and have credited £98 on my account. A couple months ago I have left on hold regarding my refund, today suddenly the have refunded me with only £67.20 (PayPal Transaction ID:
7CP000977Y3509211), of course I have use their backup service for 4 months at £2.88 per month.
It sounds to me I have been ripped off, as my calculation is:
- 10GB Backup (bauk) Jun/29/2009 - Jul/29/2009 - Invoice Number: 3296-1341039 (old system billing) - £ 2.88
- 10GB Backup (05/10/2009 - 04/11/2009) Invoice Number: 206628 - £2.88 GBP
- 10GB Backup (05/08/2009 - 04/09/2009) Invoice Number: 201658 - £2.88 GBP
- 10GB Backup (05/09/2009 - 04/10/2009) Invoice Number: 204197 - £2.88 GBP
the refund should be: £86.48
I have re-opened the same ticket with complain about it, as the difference is £19.28.
