    @cociu used to be a boss and delet tikets from costumers who opened a diss thread like this.

    @Calin is inferior potassium

    This is not a diss thread, I will be writing a full review once I get the server.

    I hope you get it soon. Some people have sadly passed waiting for their services to be activated here.

    You should postpone your decision until the potassium has finally been delivered.

    Yeah, never count your potassium chickens until they've hatched gone exothermic.

    I know OP's types. he opened the thread to put pressure/shame the provider into submission.

    While that may be true, may be it’s a good lesson to the provider not to offer 24 hour activation when they are waiting for shipping that is always fickle in today’s world. Some other providers clearly let you know it will take 2-3 weeks for the server to be provisioned.

    Low price isn’t an excuse for wrong ads / claims either.

    While misleading ads are a problem, it's up to the buyer to look at the sellers reputation and adjust expectations accordingly. Blindly trusting marketing claims and advertisements gets you no where in the real world.

    Technically speaking you can’t do research until you have the information e.g. threads like these :)

    It’s a chicken and egg problem. Hence why I am curious why so many at LET are dissing OP right away. Hard to do research when providers are being defended so much.

    Reminds me of that one person putting a tongue in cheek disclaimer recently about a popular provider here in one of the unrelated threads. All my research pointed to me wanting to buy from them till I got the other view point (and the fact LET was censoring criticism)

    If no information is available for you to research the provider to a level that meets your expectations, don't buy the product to avoid the risk.

    For iHostArt specifically, there's plenty of threads, comments, and reviews on LET for the potential buyer to research and read.

    Whenever I buy from a provider, I take their marketing claims and adjust them based on my own research and expectations.

    If I buy from provider A, who claims delivery in B days, with reputation C, I multiply the claimed delivery time B by a factor of D (derived from C) to get a realistic expected delivery time.

    @op23 this particular provider has the tendency to exaggerate things. I'll probably rank him closer to the bottom of any provider's list here on LET (along with some of those new Turkish providers with dual personality). You can read his threads and see for yourself.

    The chicken is busy with an existential question, whether the egg or the chicken was first. The chicken doesn't have time for reviews, which can be summarized as N/A.
