        Phoenix NAP makes sense, but Server Axis doesn’t seem to have a physical location in Miami. Do they use NAP of Americas (Verizon), Coresite, Colohouse, etc? Their website is a bit ambiguous. O.o

      Looks to have been answered already but just for clarity, Miami is Coresite Miami/Miami IX and Phoenix is PhoenixNAP by way of IOFlood.

    a very good provider, it should have been on the tops many times, but well, I think it’s because they prefer to offer quality rather than quantity.

    the only problem I experienced with them was the annoying ‘phone verification’ during the order process, which I find useless, since anyone can get a for example a free phone number in the US etc, and well, when I ordered the system did not call me and my order was stuck.

    August 15, 2013 @ 6:18 am | Reply
    • Thanks florin,

      Any feedback is always welcome, you are correct about the phone system, it is actually maxmind and the truth is things are going from bad to worse with the phone system I am actively looking for a different option and may consider turning off phone verification all together due to the issues it causes.

      • Joe:

        You could always try something like http://www.trustwho.com/ as an alternative for verification, I’m not sure of the cost though. First time I made a purchase on a site that used them I received a phone call from an actual person to verify that it was a legitimate purchase, no issues after that though.

    • Hi Simon,

      yes full root, you manage your own DNS I suppose either via your domain registrar or by installing a DNS server but I would suggest the first of the 2 :)

      • Indeed :)

        I am just guessing but its a pretty safe guess based on the name, I suspect this is the guy that was genuinely insulted for getting his service suspended/terminated after getting caught launching DDOS attacks on game servers and then subsequently lost the paypal dispute he raised.

        So cant blame him for trolling, kids have to be allowed to stamp their feet.

        • cygni:

          No, I have never in my life DDOS anyone; you must be making this up. The issue was when I signed with Inception Hosting, although I specifically chose the no subscription Paypal option, it still created a subscription.

          I was the one who requested a cancellation. There is a screenshot (http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/6b54d799) of the ticket reply confirming the request. What complicated matter was, I had closed another hosting account during this same period that provided email used in signing up with Inception Hosting.

          Immediately after seeing that a payment was sent via Paypal subscription, even though the account cancellation had been fulfilled and I no longer had service with Inception Hosting, I notified him of this error and also explained the email situation and provided a working email.

          Prior to me requesting the email update, I was able to log into the inception account though the service itself had been terminated, but would not be able to after Anthony was notified. Neither the old nor new email would work. I sent several emails, and received only one email which appeared to be a confirmation and instruction for cancellations, he would not reply after that.

          So basically, he took my money, offered no service, and now lays a bogus accusation that has no merit. My advice to potential customers is, be careful. This individual is very unprofessional.

        • Ah ok my mistake, but I would point you to your opening line: although I specifically chose the no subscription Paypal option, it still created a subscription.

          Inception Hosting do not create the subscriptions, you do with paypal.

          End of conversation.

        • Just so everyone knows the content of the email that I asked to to ensure you read in the support ticket you have posted here it is:

          If you have a subscription through paypal please delete it, you are responsible for your paypal subscriptions and and payments made after you cancel cannot be refunded, if this request has been made for the 14 day money back promise then please also be aware that you will not be able to take out any new service for a minimum of 12 months.

          The problem with trolls is they only ever give half a story to try and make themselves look innocent which always back fires.

          I would also point out that you were informed around 8 times about your paypal subscription not just by Inception hosting but paypal also send an email to you when ever you set up a subscription so you really have no excuse to claim ignorance on this and I provide a hosting service I can only give you the information and explain things to the best of my ability, I cannot also understand it for you.

          Further more the first contact from you (not really from you) was a paypal unauthorised access claim and you got generally abusive straight away so no, you did not get the 5 star service on this occasion.

        • cygni:

          It would seem you have difficulties telling the truth. After the screenshot proved your initial allegations were bogus, now you say the first contact you received was from a Paypal unauthorized claim. Again, you are making it up rather than admit you erred.

          When one signs up with the service, there are two Paypal links, one with subscription and one without, and even if the no subscription link is selected, it still creates a subscription.

          I gave you an updated email and explained that the current email used in that account was no longer active. Your only reply to my queries was what seemed to be a cancellation request. You would no longer respond to my emails. Here is a screenshot (http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/f8060144) of your only response, so saying Paypal unauthorized charge was the first contact is 100% false and you know it.

          Once again, my advice to potential customers is, be careful. This individual is dishonest and very unprofessional.

          Here is another screenshot (http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/9ec1fdef) of an email sent to Inception Hosting, although the individual claimed the first contact he received was from Paypal unauthorized charge which is clearly not true.

          A honest business would have said, OK, the responsibility to cancel the subscription was yours, but we will refund the charge, given that no service was being provided. Instead, this individual disabled access, and believes money deposited into his bank account, whether legit or not, belongs to him.

          Have a nice day!

          Once again all you have done is point out you knew you had a subscription from the start,

        • cygni:

          No, it does not prove such. You’ve already been caught telling tales. As I stated on the emails and ticket (before you locked me out), I was unaware it created a subscription because I specifically chose Paypal link option with no subscription.

          EDIS also uses the same module as your company, and does the same thing. I recently setup an account with EDIS, and although I chose no subscription link, it created one. I had learned a lesson from your bad experience, so I went ahead and immediately deleted the subscription.

          All that said, what the screenshots I have posted shows is your dishonesty and unprofessionalism. Let’s assume for a second that I was aware of the subscription (which clearly, I did not), and forgot to cancel it, even though my service with you had ended, you believe you should keep the money. Is that not thievery?

          The appropriate thing to have done was either refund the money or offer to provide equivalent service. You did neither, but disabled access to the account, and did not respond to further emails. That is the fact of the matter.

        • sigh… as I have said, I can only explain things to you, the capacity for you to understand them however is your problem not mine.

          I am not “telling tales” at all, I stand by and defend the policy on paypal subscription payments and have done publicly many times, the facts here are that you have made no effort to reveal who you actually are so I was left with best guess only, perhaps I have the wrong person completely.

          Facts none specific to your case:

          1)Every customer has the option between subscription or none subscription payment methods.

          2) If YOU choose to create a subscription this is an agreement between YOU and PAYPAL to SEND payment on a set schedule. this is your responsibility just like a auto payment from a bank account.

          3) regardless of the fact you would think people would take more than 2 seconds to pay some attention to what they are doing the sad fact is many don’t so as a result you are notified you have a new subscription with all details 2 times during checkout, then a further double confirmation is done with paypal, followed by an email from paypal confirming this AGAIN.

          4) Just in case you paid no attention to anything in point 3 you then get a further email from inception hosting notifying you that you need to manage your own subscription, followed by almost every email having the same information about your subscription.

          5) To not notice ANY of these (by now about 20 notifications) is either wilful ignorance or complete disregard for your own finances, none of which I will allow to be made my problem.

          6) The policy on cancellations and billing is also made just as clear at every stage of your account, it even goes on to ask that you cancel any subscriptions you may have upon cancellation of service which is confirmed also by email.

          7) if you want to take part in any money back schemes such as the 48 hour or 14 day policy then you need to pay some attention to the terms under which you signed up to begin with, again if you chose to ignore this I cannot see how you could make this anyone’s fault but your own, e.g. het credit card company, you charged me 30% interest, “Yes that is in the terms you signed up under”… BUT I NEVER READ THEM GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY!… honestly you think this is OK?

          8) After cancellation and account closure you are no longer a customer, again this is your choice, if you then want to dispute something after the fact that COULD NOT have been made any more obvious and simple and up front short of visiting you at home to hold your hand through the sign up process then you are taking up time, time is not free.

          It is you sir who has come to troll here with a mask on knowing you have the advantage on anonymity. it does not surprise me you have also had a run in with EDIS, another company who stands up for logic and reason and will not suffer fools gladly, you cant just stamp your feet and get what ever you want after being deliberately and wilfully ignorant and then attempting to put a black mark on a company as a result of things COMPLETELY within your control.

          Look at one of your opening lines for gods sake: “I specifically chose the no subscription Paypal option, it still created a subscription.” << You said this, right here above..

          Do you realise how much credibility you just lost..? apart from the fact that this is IMPOSSIBLE you would have to be making extra effort afterwards and during not to notice you were setting up a subscription and then ignore the emails that came in within seconds of this telling you over and over again that you just set up a subscription.

          I really have nothing to hide here, perhaps this seems over the top but hey.. I have a right to defend my position against internet trolls and I have some spare time right now.

          Thanks for your continued support by ensuring inception hosting remains on the first page side bar of LEB. I have noticed an increase in orders from this post since you dragged it back up from page 6.

          When you are ready to be a responsible adult and post some identifying information here I am happy to continue this conversation with your agreement to full disclosure (and I mean full) of facts and all information. if you continue to post your misdirection, half truths etc here I will take that as permission to track down your actual account and make a FULL disclosure of all information related to your account including account info, sign up dates, copies of all emails sent/received, paypal info etc etc I am just not prepared to have this argument which you chose to take PUBLIC while you are allowed to remain faceless and anonymous.

          First, I have not had a “run in” with EDIS. I simply mentioned that they use the same module as you do. I have had no issue with them or any VPS service providers I have used and continue to use, except your company.

          You wrote a long-winded substance lacking response, in attempt to justify your actions. Let’s review; you made some silly allegations which have been proven false. You wanted to make yourself look good — I mean, who wouldn’t be against someone that launches DDoS attacks?! You displayed unprofessionalism.

          I am certain you know exactly who I am. Another tale you told was, after seeing the first screenshot of the ticket showing date and time, you claimed that the only contact you’d receive from me was through a Paypal dispute, but the next sets of screenshots proved otherwise. You displayed dishonesty.

          I cancelled a service with your company, unaware of a Paypal subscription, and after you were sent a payment, although not offering service, was notified immediately of the error. I contacted you with a new and working email address. Whether purposeful or not, I could no longer access my account on your server. You were made aware of this, and your only response, as shown on the screenshot, was your rule on cancellation.

          Of course you dodged and refused to address why you didn’t respond to any of my further emails. I have an obligation to warn others of the kind of character they would dealing with in you — this exchange alone is more than enough. Show a little class, admit you could have handled it differently, and we can move on.

    If is a slightest delay in payment, they immediately cut off all service.. Very strange company without any support..

    • The password recovery issue was as a result of the billing system upgrade, it was fixed.

      you get 24 hours after your payment is due (and 3 reminders to pay) before service is suspended, it is then kept available for un-suspension for a further 7 days minimum.

      I do not think that is unreasonable?
