She's lucky she didn't get squished by a car!
Apart from the power issues the 5TB server has been great for me, but yeah, seems clear it won't be available for renewal. It's a shame. I liked having an "all-in-one" VPS.
I think it would still be available for renewal but do you really want to take the risk?
If he has moved on from VMs then he should offer the refund to the users for remaining time. I am happy to move on as well.
Can you point me towards the discord/group where guys have "100 dedis" with Hostslick, so we can politely ask for refund and leave him alone

You’re free to ask him directly for refunds if you have an issue with your service. My point was simply that not everyone using his services is having problems. It’s just the VPS which he discontinued. My reply was in response to “Deadpool” comments only, not refunds or his VPS services. The irony about “100 dedis” doesn’t really change that there are providers and resellers with large deployments still running fine. This information is verifiable on our ASN lookup. I’m not here to expose private group chats or turn this into a public pile-on.
You implied that VM users are cheapskates and Dedis customers deserve priority support as you mentioned a group chat that exists exclusively for them.
Also, How else do I get in touch with support directly when my tickets are not being answered to?
I never implied VM users are “cheapskates” or deserve worse treatment. I only said that from what I’ve personally seen, many dedicated server customers are still operating without issues in response to “DeadPooling”. That’s completely separate from whether other customers deserve refunds or support responses.
And regarding tickets if support genuinely isn’t replying, then I understand why people are frustrated. My original comment was only about the “Deadpool” claim, not an attempt to dismiss unresolved customer issues.
Apparently here to troll his vps clients that are getting screwed.
Shared Hosting is down since January. Please take a seat at the back of this support boat as it sinks. Women and children first!
Should Hostslick run a credit deposit deal?
"Reliable" and you can use the credit to renew your nonfunctional services...
Who's in?
just buy 100 dedis you fuckin poor
Email received today
Mail received as well. Not any information about "lifetime" packages. I only see that mine is in this state (DirectAdmin panel not accessible since 2-3 months):
Just received a mail from HostSlick, asking to pay the invoice generated and expired 1 year ago. I don't know if I should filfull the dream...
This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
...
and what happens with the account credit? do they refund, or just steal it?
I don't know if anyone can trust HostSlick with dedicated servers, considering this provider failed at honouring so many other services.
I think people only use them for piracy and such where reliability doesn't matter too much
He refunded mine, but it was a small amount (basically I credited my account with the renewal cost because I was going to be on holiday when the invoice would be sent and require payment, but then it took the payment from my card anyway).
In the 2 years I had my server, it didn't have an operating system at all for 10 months, and then was just a backup haproxy for my cluster of web server frontends, but I'd never actually pushed any traffic through it.
So I think my total bandwidth used was probably less than 100GB over 2 years.
I guess useful for some combination of crime, idling, and messing around
Two weeks ago, PayPal processed an automatic payment for the Black Friday 5TB VPS......
Good luck getting your money back!
Regardless of VPS downtime issues, I think I still got my money worth for the services I got. I hope there are some good storage deals to replace these servers soon...
