rarecloud price gouge ^W hike
Price hike from €30/y to €97.50/y claiming that we're lucky that we're getting a 50% discount from list price of €195/y and how we should feel sorry for them because their server has gone up from €400 last year to €850 this year. Of course, they don't explain why doubling of their cost leads to 6.5x multiplier on their price, and more than tripling the price for us.
The writing was on the wall for a while I guess with all their desperate attempts to get people to renew early 3 months into the year.
But yeah, over €8/m for a server than goes down more often than the knickers of a woman of disrepute, I think it's an easy decision to cancel.

I wonder if they'll refund the people who did the "2x, 3x, 4x deposit" thing.
lol.
lmao even.
As if it wasn't planned? Get ready to chargeback
Haha, the request cancellation form is conveniently broken. Like everything else in the control panel.
EDIT: it claimed to work the second time.
EDIT 2: the status wasn't actually updated and it failed third and fourth attempt.
odd, didn't they just ran a 50% off promo for top ups?
Now hike everything, just wow.
God their control panel is such a piece of shit. Can't cancel. Raised ticket, attached picture didn't attach. Tried to attach via extra comment. Nothing. Go back to tickets list and open ticket, another 403 error. I guess this is all vibecoded shit that "works on their machine".
See - they good guys! They knew they gonna hike prices so they basically gave them one more year for old prices due to this deposit bonus!
GOOD GUYS.
ban
∞ profit margin glitch
If you topped up 3x the previous annual payment it still wouldn't be enough to renew at the new price.
The bonus credits expire anyways
Mine went from like $11 to something like $13. Affected after June 19, 2029.
I said this would happen.
Rarecloud looked suspicious right from the start, when they ran the promo all my doubts vanished.
@rarecloud honeslty prices increase is understandable. I don't like it, but that's probably the same for you.
What I'm really concerned about is that your client area inaccessible most of the time for the last two months or so. Like... not only VPS is down from time to time. but client area answers with ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED consistently.
For some reason I had to reach it out with VPN.
Price Increase on Recurring Dealz Hall of Predatoriness

Open a new ticket for every cancellation attempt. They may just manually handle your departure.
omg, so that was the purpose of the deposit promo
You still need to remove VPS.TC because their price hike was not on a recurring deal.
Can someone make an anti-Hall of Predatoriness list as well? 😂
Basically, providers with no price increases, reliable service, and good long-term recurring deals. Would be really useful to know which providers are actually worth sticking with.
Same to me...
rarecloud - one more business scam. avoid.
will cancel all recurring/existing VMs.
2nd boloxmedia?
Better to have people wonder if you're a scam.
Than to open a top off bonus and confirm all doubts.
