I will pick up one. Nice offer.

craigb · March 2022

Offer attractive (although light on technical details), but then checked Terms of Service and saw some elements that put me off. For example:

9)Prohibition of Offensive Behavior
Racist, intolerant, "hate", defamatory, "stalking", invitations to fight, threatening or any communication of any nature that we decide, in our sole discretion, as being improper, will result in service termination without prior notice. Subscribers may not make comments on online social networking, blogs, forums or any online media websites, that we deem to be inproper, unfair or discourteous to the effort made my HostSlick's employees. Your account may be suspended or terminated without refund. This includes, but is not limited to, threats to sue, slander, libel, publicly post, or initiate a chargeback.

unfair? discourteous? Are you guys so thin skinned that you will suspend or terminate your clients because of public criticism you don't like?

P.S ToS link broken on client pages

Sounds like an unfair term to me as it's too one-sided, so has likely no legal or binding force on consumers.

craigb · March 2022

@HostSlick said: If you dont like it, you can check for alternatives

Naturally, but I shared what I did with the slight hope you might provide some sort of meaningful response. You know, like on a forum where people tend to engage with ideas and feedback. Where else to raise topics like this but pre-sales on an offer thread? Ah, but that sort of hints at the problem with service providers who are easily triggered...

Now it just serves to show other prospective customers the level of engagement they will find when their service is suspended because they "upset the owner" when publishing a bad case of the Yabs.

Altough we don't enforce our ToS much, theres clientel we don't want and wish to stay away from us. Like making drama for nothing, abusive behaviour etc etc. we will make use of it then. You can share your thoughts always

It's up to you.

Wait a minute.... Is this term really including posting public yabs...?!?
I would have not imagined it to go that far... and I really don't think it would include these type of facts/data posts.
In the end it is the right of the hoster to write the terms. But good that you brought that up here in the forum as this is the first time I saw something like this in a hoster TOS.

I saw their network and disk IO is good.
I am not sure, does the term prohibit us to post a yabs result?

No thats not the case it does not prohibit you to post either one - good or bad yabs.

At least, they don't threaten to dox you for posting negative reviews. It's something that might make me think twice, but I have never posted reviews anywhere.

https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/171427/how-to-stop-all-negative-reviews

if you make a negative post in public, then you are waiving your protection of privacy at example.com

Some providers are known to maintain a "hall of fame" for the customers they don't like.

It always depends on the Node - We deploy a minimum on every node:

Dual Intel XEON E5-2660v3 or better
20cores, 40 threads or better
128GB DDR4 RAM or higher
2x1TB SSD or higher

NVME is coming later this year.

The IP is correct, there was no timeout however.

Please note

Limit is one per customer per plan/deal. You can note have for example multiple of Deal I
This is to give everyone the chance of ordering one and not have all sold out by few customers

https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/171427/how-to-stop-all-negative-reviews

That was well worth a read - thanks for digging it up.

I tend to think that if a provider wants you out, they will find a way to get you out. Some write this in their ToS as a general "we reserve the right to suspend/terminate your service at anytime without cause" and some don't. Some clients may not like it, but naturally the balance of power is with the provider as the service provider and I think most clients get that.

What I suspect @hostslick is trying, but perhaps failing to do, is codify a kind of "don't be a jerk" rule in their ToS. But the thing is, LET posters have informed so many of my VPS and dedicated choices - both through positive and negative reviews, whether rough or smooth in style. In fact, I have sometimes bought on the strength of the providers response to a clearly negative and "not nice" review.

Providers get kudos and gain business through positive engagement with negative reviews. Those providers don't feel the need to silence their critics via their ToS, they win in the court of public opinion.

Legitimate concerns wrapped in a turd post. Sure, some clients lack the maturity or the will to write "in a nice way" about a poorly delivered service. Trying to chill/reduce/eliminate what people say about your business is a turn off for me, not because I want to shit-post on a provider, but I support the rights of others to do write negative reviews in a tone that may be unprofessional or "hurt your feelings".

I fully understand a provider wishing to protect their reputation, but think there are better ways to handle it. There is a gap between "complainy-waney" and "you are now seriously hurting my business reputation" and reputational risk can be codified in a ToS without appearing like you lack confidence in receiving feedback you don't like.

Anyway, I've made my point and don't want to clog up @HostSlick offer thread on this topic. I think their offer is a strong one and wish future buyers excellent service...as if it's not and you post a negative review here....

HostSlick · March 2022

@craigb said: is codify a kind of "don't be a jerk" rule in their ToS

You got it right. Its kind of "dont be a dick/dont be abusive - in terms of behaviour".

Its ok if negative reviews are coming from a bad service experience, i take note and try make it better next time but there are cases where the customer not always speak the truth or hides facts in their negative reviews.

Abusive customers is not what we want and thats what i said, there is some clientel we dont want.
Plus dealing with such costs time. i cant be bothered. - They can go at other providers.

However, After all, its my business and i can decide which customer i want to do business with and which not. I don't need to accept everyone.
