    @KuJoe I think you made a mistake with "$4.99/year":

    Edit -- that price seems way too cheap anyway ;)

    Whoa. Looks like we're joining the notorious B+C club.
    I don't blame providers ; it likely makes sense for them statistically, especially with smaller support teams.

    All the best Joe.

    What's that?

    vimalware said: it likely makes sense for them statistically

    Yeah, we have a policy where if we get over 99% fraud/abuse issues from a single country for a 12 month period we stop accepting orders. I think we stopped accepting orders from India in 2017 but we've made exceptions and every exception we've made except for 1 or 2 resulted in chargebacks or ignoring our TOS. We used to make exceptions for LET members but that's bitten us too many times so we had to put a stop to that also. :(

    EDIT: I exported some data and ran some numbers just to be sure. In 2016 76.29% of orders were marked as Fraud/Abuse. In 2017 100% of orders were marked as Fraud/Abuse which is when we stopped accepting orders. In 2018 we made 14 exceptions and manually processed the orders, 13 of them ended up being Fraud/Abuse (92.86%). This year we've made 3 exceptions, 2 of those ended up being Fraud/Abuse.

    The promo code in the first post can be used for any plan that has a monthly billing cycle. Plans with only an annual billing cycle can't be discounted further, sorry. :(

    I feel terrible reading this. That bad eh.

  • yoursunnyyoursunny Member, IPv6 Advocate

    I have an OpenVZ container from SecureDragon since 2014. 64MB/3GB tiny box, used to be my website host, now a personal VPN server.
    It's the best provider I used, as they are very transparent: whenever a downtime occurs, there's a tweet. No need to wonder what's going on.
    The Wyvern panel has a unique "migration" feature that allows moving between locations. When I hosted the website there, if I detect visitors aren't getting good speed due to routing, I could move the box as necessary.
    The drawbacks are outdated OS templates: no Ubuntu 18 or Debian 9.

    50GB Storage | 128MB RAM+vSwap | 1 vCPU Core | 10TB @ 1Gbps | Shared IPv4 | /64 IPv6 | $9/Year

    Yeah, we had to lower the bandwidth significantly a week ago to combat abuse.

    If I may say so, 10TB --> 100GB and 10TB --> 250GB are absolutely huge decreases.

    Agreed. We'll probably increase it down the road once our threads disappear from LET and the Asian blogs/forums.

    How much bandwidth do you think you'll need? I'm willing to adjust the resources to something else, I was using the formula of 4x the disk space so clients could backup the full disk space amount and still be able to restore all of it 3 times per month. This way we're not losing as much money per abuse case as we were before.

    @jooja said:

    Correct. :)

    EDIT: I guess I should elaborate on this. We have a policy where if 100% of all orders from a country are fraudulent/abusive for 2 consecutive years we block that country. The exception to this is if the person ordering is a long standing member of LET we'll manually approve the order (except for India, 100% of manually approved orders resulted in fraud in 2018-2019). In the case of Brazil specifically, we had a period of 12 months where 100% of the clients were hosting bank phishing website which resulted in a lot of billable hours dealing with legal issues from multiple different companies and agencies which resulted in us manually verifying all orders, during the next 12 months we received 0 legitimate orders that didn't result in abuse/chargebacks. To clarify, this policy is only for 100% of orders, if we have 1 legitimate client during those 2 years and 99% fraud we will not block a country (we may switch to manual verification or temporary block orders if we're being hit with waves of signups from the same people). I hope that clears things up.
