  Way too much of that ’durr durr you don’t pay enough for me to care’ going around, they seem to genuinly put clients first no matter amount paid. Would probably enjoy using them.

  And I take great offense to this mentality where even other ppl come barging in with thoughts like 'wt did u expect for X amount of money'. More or less wtever the price poor service is not justifiable. Don't offer the product if u can't back it up. Recently a host in their support sniped in with the 16 euro valuation of the vps and told me they didn't need the money, I tried to explain to them they might loose any Big orders in the future bcoz of their behavior. I guess it has a lot to do with how old u r. Young hosts tend to be much more aggressive in their dealing. But I agree we shud put an end to this.
