Lifeincloud.com - Warning

Cyph3rCyph3r Member
edited March 2 in Providers

Posting this to warn others about my experience with Lifeincloud Services SRL (Host: Lifeincloud Services SRL, ISP/ASN: Dotro Telecom SRL / AS43376, Bucharest, Romania).

They advertise 10 Gbps, but real-world throughput was nowhere near that. On Feb 7, 2026, repeated iperf3 testing showed roughly:

Recv: ~186–486 Mbits/sec (best case), often ~200–360 Mbits/sec

Send: ~5–35 Mbits/sec

Latency varied by region (e.g., ~33 ms Amsterdam, ~37 ms London, ~112 ms NYC)

That’s not "10Gbps" by any reasonable standard, and it’s not even consistent 1Gbps performance.

The bigger red flag: when I tried to request a refund and contact support, only the parts of their site that matter are blocked. The main website loads normally, but the open ticket page and the cancel service button consistently return a blocked page. I tested from work, home, random Wi-Fi, VPNs, proxies same result every time.

I also reached out via email and received no response.

Based on the performance and inability to access support/cancellation, I cannot recommend Lifeincloud. LowEndTalk should delist them as a provider until this is investigated and they provide (1) service that matches advertised network capability and (2) a working support/cancellation path with refunds when service doesn’t meet the standard.

  • I really have to ask. How do you guys know such providers?

    I have never seen any ads or in black Friday events..

    Where do you guys find them?

    They have one more sub brand named @LumaDock and they had few offers on LET some time back!

  • I put the transaction as fraud with my credit card company, so I guess the owner can have fun fighting Mastercard on this (he will lose terribly).

    I guess it's true, when support is dead, the company is dead.

    I found them on Google, I believe. I needed a cheap 10Gbps very basic spec VPS in Europe. This fit the criteria, being that it was 1 core, 1GB ram and 10Gbps network. I haven't seen such shitty network speeds since my dial-up days.

    Hi @Cyph3r ! We take claims like this seriously, so let’s clarify a few points.

    First, the 10Gbps figure refers to the port speed on a shared network fabric. As stated on the product widget and in our FAQ, the port is not dedicated - throughput is best-effort and depends on overall network load. In typical real-world conditions, sustained speeds are usually in the 500–600 Mbps range. Your receive test results (200–480 Mbps) are below our typical expectations, and your reported upload results are particularly unusual. That’s not something we consider normal, and we would genuinely like to investigate further if you can share your service ID privately (and, if possible, the exact iperf3 command used so we can replicate the same test conditions). At ~$2.39–$3/month, the VPS plan you mentioned is an entry-level shared VPS plan. It includes NVMe storage, unmetered bandwidth, DDoS protection, backups, 24/7 human support + more. But dedicated bandwidth or guaranteed throughput is a different class of infrastructure entirely. That level of networking is not part of public VPS plans, and only available within our Private Cloud offerings, which operate on dedicated hardware and are priced accordingly.

    We’re not a cloud reseller, so we can't instantly pull capacity from someone else’s pool — we deploy and operate our own physical hardware across multiple EU zones, so scaling means racking and bringing real equipment online. Over the past few months, certain components like RAM and NVMe have increased in price by 2–5x, but the bigger challenge has been availability. Even when you’re willing to pay the premium, sourcing identical hardware at scale has been difficult. These industry-wide supply constraints have slowed deployment timelines somewhat, but we already have major infrastructure and network upgrades scheduled for March in Frankfurt and Bucharest.

    There was also a reference to another company - for the record, we are not affiliated with that business in any way.

    Regarding the claim that support and cancellation pages are blocked: we do not block access to those areas, and we are not aware of any failure affecting all customer communication channels at the same time (Portal, Tickets, Cancellation, Email and Live Chat). All systems are monitored independently and currently operational. As you can see below, the client portal and cancellation path are fully operational:



    We take allegations like that very seriously. If you experienced access issues, please DM your invoice or service ID and we will check logs immediately. You can also reach us directly via email at the address on our Contact page:

    help [at] lifeincloud.com

    We also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on eligible services. If the service did not meet your expectations and you’re within policy terms, we are absolutely willing to process a refund.

    If you’re willing to provide details privately, we’ll investigate properly instead of speculating publicly.

    We don’t benefit from unresolved issues, and we certainly don’t benefit from unhappy customers.

    Happy to resolve this directly.
