Or just use Debit Card
Top up when you just need it.
For UK/US/CA (unsure who else they support), one-time use or individualized card numbers (with the option of setting specific limits): https://www.revolut.com/en-US/
Yeah should have been more clear, it is a debit card, I don't have any credit cards since I don't need debt lol
Real men use debit card with no limit.
Credit cards > Debit cards
I have an issue with my debit card = I’m fucked
I have an issue with my credit card = I open an app, mark the transaction, get my money back instantly and they contact me afterwards if they need any clearification
? You can open a dispute on a debit card as well
You can, but your rights are very limited in comparison
Maybe, I've never had a credit card. I just use paypal or trusted e-commerce websites when buying anything > 20 bucks
That’s good protection as well
When I was in Prague with friends a scetchy club charged a lot of people for drinks that they then ”couldn’t make” and also they sadly couldn’t provide anyone with a receipt
They took everyones details for a refund but I seemingly was the only one who knew that nobody will never see that money ever again
I was lucky I paid with my credit card, I had no proof of the scam at all since they didin’t even hand a receipt over, but I got refunded anyway (not by the club obiously, by Klarna, my credit card company)
I think they lost quite a bit ok me (I hope anyway..) because I think Klarna charges them/their bank for the time to resolve the issue too
Point is, no way I’d gotten the money back had I used my debit card
(Klarna = Sofort)
Well, it doesn't look like they have a valid WHMCS license or a valid cPanel license for their servers. And they are reselling hostlab.com, which sells pirated server software.
MX points to Russia, so it's a typical scammer setup.
The above should have been a red light.
To help others, it might be a good idea to report both hostlab.com and hostragons.com to their upstreams when the chargeback process is over.
I hope you get your money back.
The biggest red spot is the name host rag on! No pad or nothing!
You'd think after lifting $13k out off someones credit card they could afford a cPanel/WHMCS license.
you assume because its hosted in russia its dodgy? it may be but i detect russophobia
Defrauding westeners is easier to get away with in Russia compared to in the west
It’s not russophobia it’s just how it is
Also, a phobia is an imagined fear
A fear of a country threatening the world with nukes every 15 minutes therefore by definition can’t be a phobia
There you go
No Bro. Why? Cracked Works.
Need to buy new Mercedes Benz. Just Racking up some Money
What a lucky bastard. I receive bank call if my internet expenditures goes above 200€ in single transaction, because I'am poor bastard.
Always fun with hostile banks though...
wasn't there some other host that did the same not too long ago? One of the UK scam kids.

"Are you really sure you want to waste the rest of your savings balance on 'RACKNERD STRIPE'?"
Nah, I have vultr servers. Name "vultr" seems is banking trojan name, so every single time I pay for servers I receive call from grumpy dude.
Interesting enough, when I pay for puremature subscription - no call.
”Lmao ok, get a grip man”
”Don’t say we didn’t warn you”
I had problems with paypal but never had any troubles when to chargeback directly through my credit card. Paypal is also a "scam"
Use Revolut. Each payment is a new generated card
I never had a single issue with paypal as a buyer
My bank contacted me when i have send some money to my girlfriend for concert cards and i wrote "plutonium 239" in the purpose field
Next time write something like “For ISIS fund” and watch someone else contact
While we do offer Stripe, there's a reason why most LET users use PayPal. It's not like AWS where Amazon can say screw PayPal.
For low end VPS customers, you can't trust about anyone. It also helps to not have to remember your CC details for each mom-and-pop host.
PayPal isn't perfect. Their support isn't great, when compared to banks or brokerages. JPMorgan Chase, Fidelity, Charles Schwab/TD Ameritrade, Bank of America/Merrill Lynch, and multiple credit unions all have better support than PayPal. But unlike Robinhood (where it's always better to take Fidelity), PayPal is hard to replace, and hence why we keep using it.
While PayPal has a disadvantage for merchants versus Stripe: high fees. But the market demands it, Qeru isn't AWS or Azure to say "screw PayPal", even if I am also employed by one of those companies (but not on cloud).
2 things
for the future, use ininal kart
for the present, this is a credit card, there is something called "chargeback", call your bank. Simply say there have unauthorized purchases with your card.
Money may take up to 6 months to return, but it will eventually return.
I even did a chargeback with debit cards before. So no matter what card type you have, still contact your bank.
Please be aware that even ininal kart supports chargeback, but obviously will money will be lost until they return it.
What are you doing here bro you should contact police asap and get your money back. Dont lose time. And thats the reason i would never buy servers with credit card avoid at all costs.
Then what would you buy them with? Crypto? Debit (which is worse)? PayPal?
