Scam Alert: Hosting-VDS.com

Hi everyone,

I’m posting this as a warning so others don’t fall into the same trap I did with Hosting-VDS.com.

I registered and paid for a VPS on their site. During the signup process, there were no country restrictions shown — I was able to register and complete payment without any issues. However, once the order was processed, they required phone verification using a Russian mobile number only, which was never mentioned beforehand.

Since I am not located in Russia, I was unable to verify. When I contacted support, instead of receiving help, I got a rude and offensive message, calling me “stupid” and refusing to refund me. The VPS service was never delivered, and they completely ignored all logical requests.

This is an intentional trap — they allow anyone to register and pay, but only fulfill orders for users with Russian numbers, and then keep the money. It’s clearly a scam.

I’m currently reporting them to multiple platforms and fraud-reporting services, including ScamAdviser and payment gateways.

Please stay away from Hosting-VDS.com — they are not trustworthy and use abusive practices.

    How you paid them? Via credit card? If yes, raise a dispute

  • This for sure justifies a chargeback.

    This is very bad and they should pay for their deeds.
