You should read the whole thread - there is at least some pop-corn to be had.
They're not a little baby tho, they can just cancel everyone's shit and call it a day but no, they want to act shady, so they be shady, in my eyes, from now on.
But they could at least notify users by e-mail about changes to the regulations and the offer. They didn't do anything.
They can't even abide by their very own rules, do you really expect them to know how to use e-mail? C'm'on, be serious now.
You got it wrong. It's not about the service, and it's not about that 1 euro (+VAT). It is about the company and how it manages the situation. A simply apologize and a refund is OK to say you did a mistake; a service left for one year is also OK to display a mistake while offering what was bought for testing (testing on both sides). A service modified a couple of days after customer actually ordered and paid, while imposing all sorts of new conditions and new limitations which will put the credit card on risk, is NOT the way to handle things and makes customers feel angry as if being lured into a trap with just 1 euro.
Think about it how you want, but again: this is not about the service, it's about the image of company and how poorly the management handled the whole mess.
if serverius would deadpool because of 10-50 TB... then it should.
Decent deal.
any evidence for that claim?
They changed the model of the service to pay-per-use and after a year the account is supposed to change to this mode.
Where do you see "after a year"? As per a previous statement from a Serverius agent, the pay-per-use is already applicable to the "Eurostack ES free tier" right now.
This "ES free tier" comes with stringent limits: (https://serverius.net/eurostack/ ) "120 GB outgoing traffic per month. The requests to the storage are limited to 20000 GET Requests, 5000 PUT, COPY, POST, or LIST Requests."
According to the aforementioned statement, following their back-pedaling the only "perk" that early customers of the "ES Free Tier" are allowed to keep is the 1TB disk space (instead of 50GB), while other limits now apply. Note that the 1TB becomes less usable than before, considering these stringent limits (e.g. you need at least 8 months to move out your 1TB of data to a new host, considering the monthly allowance of only 120GB outgoing).
For customers with the "ES Free Tier", what changes after a year is that they either cancel (with two months notice), or move to a Standard Tier offer (really expensive).
edit: oh and their (flawed) system prevents you from deleting all your data/buckets ("Internal Server Error" etc.). Which in turn prevents you from cancelling your Free Tier product and requesting account deletion.
Why do you think that Serverius will be deadpooled cause of our free 1TB stacks? This is a very large company that has its own datacenter. It's not a baby, it's a daddy.
With a very interesting SEO now.
What are you doing, Step-daddy?
It seems to me that they want to do a bit like scaleway, but without good devs & using a strategy that seems pulled off their asses. Scaleway's strategy wasn't perfect (getting known with cheap dedis, then creating lot of products that make more value, and getting reading of some of the cheapos) but has been efficient, and their products are decent.
Serverius on the other hand seems to be a decent DC for collocation, but it seems like the various services they try to diversify with have been made on the cheap, setting up what's currently available, and without any long term strategy... Weird!

Especially after reading what unfolder later.
Did you even bother to read like 3 pages of this topic or you skipped after first post?
