Was going through my idlers.... Apparently I have a ghost VM. Running for free for -3514 days.

Send a love letter to the provider

I will, and ask them to cancel the service. Must be a bug in their panel.

That happened to me once, I told the about the free VPS and the support person seemed annoyed for having to do extra work to remove it

Just put a ticket in today for a VPS that's been on monthly billing and active for 3 months since I last paid for it, waiting for the support to tell me I owe them 3 months of payment

Mh... Good point... Don't want to get bill for past 10 years.

Subject: Unpaid invoice that i am not going to pay

Hi, 
I tried cancelling my service as it has been active for 3 months since I last paid.
However it wont let me cancel because of an unpaid invoice.
I don't plan on paying this invoice, please cancel the service, thanks.

this is 100% gonna get me put on some customer blacklist

I got blacklisted by hetzner for not paying the last bill after server closure request. Balance was 6.64 €.

Like 5 years later I paid the remaining balance with no interest charged and they un-blacklisted me (hopefully)

Never again.

need more clout in the megathread, i put them on blast a week ago and they found the comment and DM'd me

barbaros

I also found my emails from 2012 an 2014 with Hetzner where I had to send photo of front and back side of my ID and payment method (credit card) via email. Good old' archaic times.

Never again with Hetzner.

When i registered with Hetzner they gave option to send ID or make €20 deposit with PayPal, I made deposit and there was no problem after that

I had a Nocix dedi few years ago, equipment was old but support was good

Also I'm just happy that nowadays we have more alternatives to big hosting providers (which are still big) that doesn't act like dad of your ex-gf.

"while we were scanning our servers, we found a script that has potential vulnerability so we null routed your IP" - Hetzner in a nutshell.

This is equivalent of "if you make my baby girl sad I will hunt you down with my rifle" approach.

It was possible for me reach them after sending like 10 emails to get a reply finally stating how much I owe and where to pay it. I sent my invoice number to [email protected] and asked how can I send the payment and what's the final amount.

Meanwhile: I logged in to Scaleway like a week ago and paid a invoice from 2017. No issues, no fee added

They did charge a verification fee for the card though for like 10x the invoice. Don’t think it was refunded but didn’t check recently

This was a STARDUST with IPv6 only (most of the time), they’re very cheap.

Yeah I think so.

With IPv4 though they’re a really shitty deal.

But IPs are flexible so if you need IPv4 for some one-time things you can assign, do what you gotta do, remove.
