Skhron invites you for three-month KVM VPS taste test

tentor

Brand's reputation and attractiveness depends largely on reviews and, most importantly, customers' satisfaction. However, it is very common for both positive and negative feedback to reflect only emotional side of such satisfaction.

Therefore, remuneration in terms of service renewal upon leaving positive review on the specific platforms obviously provides an opportunity to slightly increase stars count but not serve a primary feedback objective - comprehension of the customers' service and technical satisfaction.

Hence we reach active and authority LowEndTalk community members for taking part in this giveaway.

As part of this event the first 5 willing participants will be selected whose accounts meet the following conditions:

• account is registered at least 3 month ago,
• account has at least 100 messages and 100 thanks.

Each participant will be provided with KVM VPS of XSIG-2 tariff plan including 1x public IPv4 address for three month. Participation requires leaving a detailed review, that is based on actual VPS usage experience and will provide our team an insight what is done just right as well as approaches pending refinement. We understand, that maybe your time spent writing a review is worth more than provided tariff plan , but we're looking forward to your cooperation. Review must be published at the Reviews forum category.

Three month is not sufficient for your lowend workload?

You might want to specify what you consider a detailed review - otherwise you could end up in a situation where you feel a review isn’t detailed enough but the customer is. You also might not get the review you expect.

Also, customer service would be hard to comment upon without noting the obvious bias of the account being a trial one in which the provider is aware and incentivised to make the experience as good as possible.

We consider inclusion of any form of benchmarking as detailed. It may be YABS, custom scripts, sysbench or subjective assessment based on "responsibility" of the hosted services, for example, test WordPress instance. The only real obligation here is to leave feedback without just saying "yo it was nice, thanks".

This is true, and, unfortunately, we haven't come up with an idea to done in truly objectively. However I believe that reviewers should clearly state the nature of their review and include the link to this post.

If you tell me that after the trial period I can keep the server by paying. Or even upgrade to a higher package, and at what price...
Then I'm in

... depends on first impression from your site.
How about making a landing page including company information first?
Billing panel on index page seems suspicious and non-professional to me.
My two cents.

My workload is nil, nada, none at all, so I am all up for the offer except don't expect a review from me as I don't review nil workload at all.

Yeah, it really has lots of issues, especially with SEO which is impossible to do cleanly for WHMCS. We are working on a complete website redesign currently.

Thanks you for bringing that to our attention, although this is a known issue and we have plans to sort it out, but no ETA currently.

As long as oven's temperature is set accordingly to AUP you are allowed to manipulate your chicken

I'm with Orange Belgium and they recently fixed my routing to a vps in Belgium.. 150km from me. It went BE->NL->DE->BE for along time.
So its not just Orange PL
