Is this recurring?
That’s what I want to know
Not recurring. Renews at $84 for another 12 months.
I tried this long before… and this is scam. Because this thing doesn’t work. It just for promotion of their crappy vps. I asked for support but no help. It has been more then 7 days.
Hello. This is for web hosting not vps. We never did a $1 promotion on VPS.
Tired to order and could not get past the “Processing Signup Information”.
Gif keeps turning and turning, then:
Error occurred!
Wishing you best of luck, sounded like a great deal for a year.
I tried this long before multiple times… faced the same issue as you and this is scam. Because this thing doesn’t work. It just for promotion of their crappy vps. I asked for support but no help. It has been more than 7 days.
Sorry for the trouble. Sounds like the order is being blocked. If you are on VPN try to disconnect.
Stay away guys! It’s a scam! 84$ after 12 months… Ahahahahha! Let’s say, in one year you managed to rank you website top 10 in Google yeah, and after one year you are forced to pay 84$.. Ok you will make a full backup bla bla.. And go to other hosting, you will luse for shure the top. Anyway stay away!
Yes. It will renew at $84 next year. The promotion is $1 for 12 months.
Trying to pay using UPI & I get this error everytime!
“Your payment request was rejected due to high risk.”
is it auto renew at $84
$1 for the first year is a great deal. Yes, the renewal cost is higher.
Trying to pay using UPI & I get this error everytime!
“Your payment request was rejected due to high risk.”
Sorry to hear that. UPI is processed by a 3rd party gateway that we have no control over. Is credit card or Paypal an payment option for you? We can switch you over to USD currency instead of INR. I also suggest turning off any type of VPN while placing the order.
Yea, I ordered via Paypal. Thanks.
I bought into the yearly deal knowing full well that the renewal is going to be $84.
I mean, there’s a big checkmark on the order page. You can’t miss it.
That said, I haven’t received my account details yet. Opened ticket.
I’ll update everyone if the provider indeed used this great opportunity to scam a dozen people of $1 (highly doubt it lol).
I find it funny that Interserver, who has people upset for the stark difference in renewal costs, runs ads on facebook that say “DANGER, HOT, Renewal Fees Can Burn” warning about other providers….
We are here to make you smile.
This deal really works, the $84 also locked for lifetime
