In my eyes, the customer is always wrong.

End of the day, I'm sure next time, some of the 1000 or so people who read this will be aware that when they are actually ordering a VPS for testing from leaseweb, they'll be paying twice, once up front and once after a few days more.

Worth the drama, don't you think?

Thanks for explaining your motivation. You wanted to smear Leaseweb and create as much damage to them as possible.

What he isn't aware of is that he has actually been advertising for them.

Attempted smear on a host = more sales on LET.

15 years of buying vps'es and you want to compare everyone elses billing practices to digital ocean... hmmm

I don't think that is unreasonable. DO came out of nowhere to be one of the biggest VPS providers in the world for a reason. Simple interface, simple terms, simple billing. Now you see everyone else trying to play catchup and do the same thing even though it seems like common sense now. So DO has changed peoples expectations.

How hourly is more simple than monthly I will never understand. It brings a whole 'nother level of complication especially when you need more than one container. So IMO simple:no, flexible: yes. DO was not the first to introduce hourly billing.

LeaseWeb isn't catering to LET type people with their prices.
