A few things to get out of the way, I cannot force anyone to read this or the terms but you chose to ignore it at your own risk and of your own free will.

1. The current promotions do not apply to London, frankly, it is hard enough to keep ahead of the demand as it is in London but we have identified some hardware that can be used for sales only so I am working on that today (and 1001 other things) so if I have the physical capacity I will do a London promotion before the sales are over.

2. Sales apply to plans with 1 GB Ram or more. Sales and coupons do not apply to existing products, sorry but check the history behind the Black Friday sales, this was never how it worked (I will try to do something for existing customers that gives them some of the action this weekend though so don't get too angry).

3. There are no refunds on Black Friday/Cyber Monday promotional sales, if you want to buy please be sure you really want to buy, the terms are available to you before you commit to them, they only take 5 minutes to scan read.

4. Benchmarks over the next week will be stupid, everyone will be doing it and it is a shared resource environment at the end of the day, we only use enterprise-grade kit, please be considerate when testing over the next week.

5. Yes China and Brazil are still blocked due to the volume of abuse and chargebacks, sorry I cannot make any exceptions, work is underway to lift this restriction with alternative payment gateways.

6. Support may be slower than usual for the next few days as such Direct admin requests will be done on a best efforts basis as they are manually generated, (It might take us a day or 2 to catch up on these requests)

7. It is impossible to know how the sales will go so we may adapt based on requirements as we go when they are sold out, they are gone, see you next year, I understand why you might ask for just 1 more, but that will be the 50th request for just 1 more

Um, why are you LARPing as Anthony (think he left), still, right?

I have been discriminated by this provider.

Because I'm from Hong Kong, I provided a lot of personal information, and then actived few hours after the deletion, because I am Chinese?

Then my Japanese friend also usually suffers from this, he provided a lot of information, then actived few hours, and finally deleted, the reason is to look like Chinese?

I will always remember these shames.

Makes sense, I suppose. If the prices were in USD, that would be nice, though.

You are right. I shall not try it. Such racism, I hope they also warn themselves every single day to not buy things are made in China or Brazil!!

Flagged for false claims of racism. Utterly abhorrent behaviour. I hope you’re perma-banned.

Got this VPS

• 2 x vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 40 GB Disk, 6000 GB Bandwidth, DDOS protected, Free DA = €15 /year

$17 per year
Thanks @InceptionHosting

Every year I buy a new BF VPS from inception hosting. Generally the same price but the specs get better each year. Always had excellent service and performance from them. I'm excited for all the BF/CM offers but it's also exhausting, so I might just buy one and be done with it. Plus then I can migrate from my other before it expires

Curious about the cpu perf, can you post a yabs?

Thanks, they can say whatever they want though really, I appreciate the free post bumping the sensible people will ignore the noise.

You seem to be confusing racism with xenophobia.

Anyway I think that it is way simpler than this, it is just a business choice. I do not tend to complain when a business in a different country does not want to deal with me based on the region I am in, and it happens from time to time, even for different regions on my own country. I will just shop elsewhere.

What Inception Hosting could do better, to prevent frustrations, is to not let users from said countries place order in the first place. I would not be happy if I provide my personal details to a company just to learn that my order was rejected based on my location.

If I'm not wrong, InceptionHosting used to get high chargeback fraud rates in China and child abuse gangs misusing services in Brazil. That is reason enough to not to serve a particular country.

dahartigan

That's some very tempting deals Anthony! I'm struggling to resist the Phoenix deal - yearly with that DA license and what looks like an automatic double bandwidth allowance, that's a hard deal to pass up.

If I didn't already have a DirectAdmin VPS, I'd be all over this like a rash. Fuck it, I might even convince myself to buy it as a second for redundancy or something.. haha

Someone do me a favour and buy them all out of stock so I can resist!

If you are looking for a larger config, keep an eye on the flash sales, something special coming up in Phoenix (limited)

You are quite right, the regions are geo-blocked, you are also notified when using a VPN your order will be automatically rejected, but you know, people ignore that and then complain haha.

Always more than happy to delete anyone's data on request as long as no financial transactions have been made.

Stop making sense, okay? Its racism, end of story 😂
I bet if they get a free VPS - they will change their tune completely lol

P.S. - these are really really good deals, definitely a good start to BF

Sure, pop a ticket in.

wesleyxie

Well. I understand the business choice however it still does not explain why my friend failed to place an order from 10K miles away, from the other side of the world. Racism might be a heavy word, and you are right I might not really quite understand this word. But still this is the WORST experience I have ever had.

InceptionHosting

@wesleyxie said: ut still this is the WORST experience I have ever had.

Thanks for the feedback, you must have had a truly blessed life if this is the WORST thing that has ever happened to you.

Orders via VPN/Proxies are automatically blocked, your friend would have had to confirm he understood this when making the order then proceed anyway.

If this is the WORST experience you've ever had - you must have had a good life :-)
