    Let's sum up this provider: webpage with fake reviews, no information about company location or datacenters, no impress, domain privacy protection, uses OVH for his website and namecheap for his domain, domain: serverz.pro (!), nobody here ever heard about them

    Search for another provider?

    Who uses .pro for their business ? That would be the first thing that would ring alarm bells with me. Before even checking the website.

    Imo it isn't to bad when you cater to gamers but i agree for anything serious it's a horrible choice.

    That kind of gamers that attract ddos? I wouldn't want to share the gameserver node with people of that kind if possible.

    Well, what sane person would want that but it's not like the average gamer makes rational decisions most of the time. Anyways yeah, .pro is a dumbass magnet no arguing about that.

  • Serverz.pro, I have never heard of them. I would not buy anything because their client area is used a free certificate let's encrypt.

    what's the issue with that?

    Do you know the purpose of LetsEncrypt? The U.S. government even uses LetsEncrypt.

    That's just my experience. Something does not believe.

    You are greatly misinformed about how certificates and websites work.

    In my opinion you can no longer really use the top-levels to judge anymore. There are so many places where people are using their country top-level or even some random .io that are legit....

    While strange yes but .pro is created for a purpose. As the internet expands so will the creativity of the URL/s

    You see a lot of sign's before ordering, that this provider is a scam.

    Look at the hole shit.

    "Convenience fees @ 9.00%:"

    Location: DC Netherlands (Premium) $11,50 USD

    Location: DC insertName (Limited Supply) $0,00 USD

    A normal provider who does not scam you, does not do that.

    When exactly where ccTLDs not trustworthy? Sure noone uses .us but outside of that local extensions are usually quite well received. IO is somewhat of a special case with it's extreme popularity in tech circles and there is a couple of others that aren't all that bad but generally even those don't look all that serious.

    .pro is part of an old batch of failed extensions. Remember .mobi and who gives a fuck about .info? While noone stops you from using these for your personal sites doing business is usually a quite serious thing and unless you are in the entertainment sector (as for example gaming) it's probably better to avoid being overly creative with how your business presents itself.

    I have built a construction agency's website with a ".builders" domain. It has been really well received. People in hosting industry or specialists do not trust gtlds with some new and sometime exotic domains, but most of the general population really don't know or care about that, it is not a strong criteria on how reliable a business is.
    On the other hand, as of OP's hosting provider, there are tons of alerts that could lead him in a safe conclusion: not trustworthy! The tld would be in the bottom of this list...

    Sure in the end it depends on your target audience. The target audience of someone selling servers is said hosting industry though.

  • hexukhexuk Member

    Serverz (with a Z not S) and the .pro extension in my opinion ring alarm bells...

  • Note that the OP has previously had another account, in which he requested a vps for port-scanning purposes.

    Just putting it into context.

  • I wouldn't say the domain ending matters a lot. It's just the past that has shown that most OVH reselling shithosts use .pro and whatsoever.

    I agree, I was talking generally about gtlds because of a wide criticism about them on LET, not only for hosting.

    I will agree on most part except the business part. The reason being is that you do need to get creative with urls as names get taken up. You have squatters in every industry hoping to gouge someone for the links they want.

    Extensions like .pro allow people to have a business name and not look like a total flub still. How you are searchable can be creative as long as it can be catchy. Otherwise you could go through 100 .com names and find they are all taken. Some company’s do run into this... some new fledgling companies do. Before they knew they had to buy domains well in advance of launching.

    I wouldn’t say any extensions really failed. Mainly they did not take off as planned. If anyone uses them then great.

    Speaking of .mobi. When I was in school school for my comp eng major for software development class we needed to run a server. We used .mobi purely because it was cheap and the links were not even customer facing all of the apps we made were for phones so they used the link to load data off our server(school only had one free ip btw- oh man we got creative by assigning vps machines via port numbers 8vpss.... glorious day how that all worked).

    So I think if they all get used somehow that’s what matters.

    Not everyone can get a .com for their own name because oh god it’s old.

    Sure, i'm not saying you don't have other options but a ton have either very narrow appeal or are just plain garbage. Who outside of gamers could .pro appeal to? Who in their right mind would use .mobi for his startup? What do you think about a company on .pw/ws/tk? You have ccTLDs, net, org, io, co and if you like to gamble also matching nTLDs (gamble since there might be a ton of nearly identical extensions released tomorrow, your registry might decide to jack up prices or just go bankrupt). There is a lot of valid options but that doesn't take away the fact that many TLDs are useless professionally.

    P.S.: I own a lot of garbage extensions. Nothing wrong with that as long as clients don't see them.

    .pro is not bad.

    Someone should get a hosting going on with scam.pro

    Basically what works works.

    For me most of my stuff is entirely internal. The other stuff is meant to be used and remembered easily for apps etc etc.

    And luckily..... don’t need to mess with port addressing now.. plenty of IPs to go around.
