th in you on getting your issues resolved, if you are a beginner they have unrivaled products to get you started at the most competitive prices and offers, if you want to develop and expand they are on hand to give you all the tools you need do to so, all while keeping consistency on pricing. You will have to apply yourself in getting things sorted, but they will hold your hand. We had a great experience with yet again another member of their team today *Mich, server team* which has prompted another review from us.

"no refund" policy
On September 7, I ordered a service: a dedicated server. I topped up my balance with cryptocurrency. However, they refused to provide the service unti...
l I completed identity verification. There's no problem with that, but I'm not willing to go through identity verification for personal privacy reasons. I politely declined and asked for a refund. Since I topped up with cryptocurrency, refunds in such cases are not a standard operation and are handled manually. Again, no problem. However, I received no timeline from support for processing the refund, not even an approximate one. They treated me like shit and just gave responses to get rid of me. It seems to me they're counting on me just accepting the loss and forgetting about it. September 23 came, and after a bunch of attempts to find out something or speed up the process, they promised to issue the refund within 1-3 days. However, it's already October 4, and they say the process will take a few days, but overall almost a month has passed. It seems to me this service uses identity verification as a tool to hold on to clients funds.
