Leaseweb, It Had To Be Coming

In January I ordered a server with them, knowing that their support isn't the "best".

The server info ended in spam folder, but that isn't their fault I guess. They advertise that every server comes with 2 IPs, however you only get 1. Until you request that 2nd IP. However, when you call them out of working hours, they tell you that you have to pay 135 euro (about 200 USD), great I will wait for tomorrow then. So the day after I called them again. The person I talked with, was very friendly and started to work on it. About 5 hours later I received an email with the second IP information. I added it, but it didn't get assigned. I rebooted the server etc. Still no 2nd IP. It was already 'after working hours' so I had to wait again, because I wasn't going to pay 200$ for an IP. The day after the guy on the phone tells me they assigned me an IP that was already assigned to another customer (lol)..... Ok, so I asked him if I could get a different IP than I was supposed to get. (Now I had to fix my DNS settings also, but o well....). The new IP info arrived in my inbox about 80 minutes after the call this time. After rebooting the server everything ran flawlessly. I manage my own servers, so I didn't contact their support again.

On the 21st of february, I called their administration about cancelling the server (they had a new offer, which suited me better & because I only wanted a fast network for this server, I didn't care about their support), I was told that if I submitted their cancellation form the same day or the day after, It would be taken care of before the end of the month. So I filled it in and sent it to them on the day after (22 february).

Today I called their administration to check if everything went ok (I didn't want to order the new server & pay the old one at the same time). I was told: No, it isn't cancelled. She checked that my email was there & indeed it was sent to them. She then asked me if I could wait a minute, so she could ask someone else what to do. She told me that she would assign me to a sales guy, who would be able to tell me more about it. He told me that the cancellation has to be done X days in advance. Which I did, then he said: It has to be done a month up front. I asked him why I was told that it would be cancelled on the 22 of february, but now I had to cancel it the 1st of february. He said it was a mistake. There was "nothing" he could do (or wanted to do). I don't have the time do anything about it, so I'll let it be and just pay for another crappy month.

Great, now I'm fed up another month with their server. What if I didn't call them today? I would have had 2 servers with them & they would have, the only thing they want: Money.
