    Well this BF has taught me 1 thing for sure, China is being blocked again.

    Out of 15 refund requests (It is explicit that BF deals are not refundable) 15 if them have been from china, out of those that this reality pointed out to them so far 6 of them of opened a paypal claim for "damaged goods" or "unauthorized" which now means they have no service or money.

    I must have spend 5 hours none stop dealing with tickets from China requesting info that has already been spelled out in great detail.

    Clearly Inception Hosting and China are simply incompatible the language barrier is simply to great.

    Yeah, there seems to be both a business culture barrier and a language barrier. If you wanted to cater more effectively to Chinese users, you'd probably need a bilingual Mandarin/English staff person who could handle the communication with Chinese users, but even this wouldn't be a guarantee against such issues. Not easy.

    May be the cause of language and cultural differences, they did not realize that malicious refusal is a form of dishonesty - Perhaps Paypal doesn't have the characteristics that are similar to the Alipay credit score.

    does seem you're better off to buy 2x starter vs expert, (or even 3x starter). Strange pricing.

  • AlexanderM said: We will be posting offers very soon :) !

    Reseller offer would be good :)

    Any recommendations for small annually KVMs? Less than 10$.

    How small is the small you'll accept (ram and disk)?

    I'd recommend a VirMach flash deal but you have to keep looking.

    (Maybe wait for Cyber Monday).

    is Hong Kong also be blocked? and...no any indian put repudiation?

    A hundred years ago, we was regarded as sick men in East Asia by Westerners,in the past ten years, we have worked tirelessly to change the stereotype in front of foreigners,but the individual behavior of a few people unwittingly blemished Chinese image over and over again
    Since ancient times, Chinese traditional culture has been polite and tolerant,opposed disputes and conflicts,but can't be avoided some freeloaders like petty to do things that harm others.

    The VirMach thread definitely shows a lot of craziness!

    I don't think that I have the right kind of brain to deal with "flash special for N minutes", so I missed all of those!

    I tried refreshing the page around 10-15 times passively while doing other things in the meantime. Got on my nerves after while so closed that tab. I did open the link couple of more times but stopped doing constant refresh. Besides whenever I opened I didn't find anything that would be an "OMG deal" so yeah..

    @loveminds I am not racist, this is just business and in the interest of protecting mine I have blocked China as for what ever reason the orders that come in from China cause 90% of the work load.

    I don't really care what the reason is, the fact is simply that it the problems exist so it is just not practical to continue.

    I lifted the ban after 4 years around 2 months ago, i started to regret it almost the next day.

  • Hi @AlexanderM when are you gonna release the deals?

  • @AnthonySmith The moment you start excusing a sound business decision, you're just going to lose the argument with the new kids. Just throw up your arms and say "Go elsewhere", and get on with it.

    I also fail to see nudes on my special offers page. Some offer.

    Virmach has had some ~$5 deals, but I missed them. Stocked up on $6 OVZs, though. What the hell am I going to do with 384MB OVZs other than nameservers and looking glass?

    transferring them to other people shortly after cyberweek, like you do every year? ;-)
