company was founded 11 years ago, not a domain, we have clearly written.
may be true, we are investing a lot of money in our success, for 11 years.
it is not our problem to inject a single and 50000 eur. in development ( for the foreign market. ), because as we write, Prices are with included discount of 50% for the first year of service. and after a year, the price will be affordable and realistic, which is our goal.
So you make planned loss on this offers? I'm not sure how law in Serbia is but inside the EU this is very questionable.
But you said previously
So which is it?
we do everything according to the law in Serbia. I do not plan losses, but we are ready to invest in marketing and in the losses, if any. Yes, it will for our existing clients, for customers who have purchased ( rent ) servers, it is for new customers. and will always be the same price for our existing clients, this applies for new customers. everyone who bought the server to 10.01.2015 (January 10), will have the same price next year.
But if you charter a server in 2 or 3 years, no change prices until expiration of the lease
If anyone has any questions, they can contact us at the email or through tickets.
Please contact us directly if you have a problem, not here.
Just checked my client area because of the latest posts and the recurring price was increased, so I contacted support (I purchased before Christmas) and now it's back to discounted. (〜￣▽￣)〜
Not sure if allowed to link to another forum but here it goes, more info about these guys here : http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1448189
there is nothing new
No nothing new, this thread is at 8 pages and has been going a while, your post on WHT is nothing new either, there are others.
The thread at webhostingtalk has been deleted by a moderator :

What a crooked forum WHT is.. As long as you pay for ad space they look the other way.
For a moment I thought my thread at WHT had been deleted, but I guess this was a different one. I wonder what was inside.
They do seem to be allowing my thread, which makes sense under their policy since I was literally about to pay for my order with UniWebHosting when I got doubts while talking to their live-chat representative, which obviously counts as first-hand experience of the service and the company providing it.
How can it be crooked that they deleted your thread after you broke their rules?
They don't pay for ad space either.
Instead of rushing to open more new threads about the issue use the ones that already exist to make your comment which by the way that had already been made many times.
Basically you wrote that Hetzner does not give any discounts for yearly payment:
http://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Payment_FAQ/en#If_I_agree_to_keep_my_server_for_12_months_can_I_get_a_discount.3F
However, they claim they have a special contract with Hetzner and they also seem to be exempt from VAT.
The link above further reads:
As far as I can remember, the uniwebhosting live chat explained to me precisely that (that you can cancel monthly and get a prorated refund). (do not rely on my words though, the support barely spoke English)
P.S.: Hetzner apparently had a similar promotion (15€ off and no setup fee):
http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/35365/hetzner-i7-3770-32-gb-ram-2x3tb-200mbps-for-34-incl-vat
Only 28.57EUR excl vat. Not far from uniwebhosting's regular price. (although i am unsure what the "regular" price is exactly)
Not so much a special deal, if you check the serverbidding section those boxes often come up in there. Very occasionally you will spot a Xeon E3-1245 16GB ram and 2 x3TB drive appear for €35.
And the price also includes VAT(?). Of course uniwebhosting's offer is still extremely cheap, but it is merely a promotion.
Uniweb also pmed me and emphasized that the promotion is now only for the first billing period/year and that their email support speaks English well. The English of the support chat is fine,too. Maybe it was a different person back then, either way I have had everything answered and solved.
Why would they take their time to adjust the second year price of my server to regular price if they were planning to take off with the money? It must all be part of an extremely elaborate plan, eh?
Watching this thread...!
)
By the way... how do you Overall rate Hetzner ...at an average!
I know they are sort of AutoPilot driven like OVH/SYS, yet their availability of hardware is far more abundant and I read their network is quite stable.
probably this should be discussed in another thread? ;-)
I've been with hetzner for years now and had several dedicated servers out of their cheaper product lines. so far I've nothing to complain about. seen uptimes above 300 days and more (not counting in self issued reboots due to kernel-upgrades etc.)
can't say much about their support as I didn't need them often. seems to me, that they're mostly there to handle hardware issues and such but not much more, as long as you don't pay for managed or handson (which is ok, because that's what they offer)
though, they have a good and helpful wiki around and their control panel gives enough options to handle almost everything yourself (different types of reset, rescue mode, reinstall, traffic accounting, outsorcing adminsitration and such ;-))
as with all providers I guess it much depends on what your own capablities in administrating servers are and what you intend to use their services for...
The Hetzner servers I knew of (like 3 from friends etc.) were often down or had connectivity problems, it was really annoying. But my own from uniweb has not had any problems..
I don't had much connectivity problems with hetzner in the last 2 years. I've currently 3 servers from them.
maybe not always hetzners fault at all ;-)
Hetzner are solid, they won't hold your hand, if you feel a hard drive or ram stick is on it's way out you need to prove it. If a drive fails you need to know how to remove it from the raid and add it back in once replaced.
Most of the complaints I see relate to users not being able to do these kind of things and complaining/blaming it on Hetzner.
Only time will tell
Speaking of which, I probably belong to that group and would like to take the opportunity to ask for guidance. (〜￣▽￣)〜

^ these links look like they describe everything, is there anything else I need to know?
Yup that is pretty much it in a basic sense, you can go ahead and actually fail drives without it actually happening and add it back in for some practice if you wanted.
Something that people often overlook with Hetzner is that if you put the server into rescue mode then reboot, log in and type installimage it will take you through a step by step of installing a range of linux flavours and set up your raid for you.
could not have described it better!
this!
If I remember correctly it was stuff like "power outage in whole data center", "global network outage due to DDoS or a broken router" and "specific problem with the Hardware of one server".
But so far no problem, like I said.

It shows the address on their website 8.5 years ago (July 13th, 2006).
In November 2007 the NL address had been removed (click flags for addresses in other countries).
https://web.archive.org/web/20071110164433/http://www.uniwebhosting.com/index.php?m=kontakt
Not wanting to start the discussion again (as I cannot time travel and check the validity of the address anyway), I just thought it would be worth sharing.
I opened a support ticket to ask something (low priority), response after 5 hours.
How long now you have your server?
1 month and 4 days
Thanks 4n0nx, so it looks like the address definitely wasn't left on that page by accident for 10 years like they claimed.
If they are a legitimate business that is sustainable in the long term, they have done just about the worst possible job of presenting themselves.
Eh.. I thought they said they used it long ago and it somehow ended up on the page again
Just because of their address? I just checked the first VPS providers that came to my mind and none of them provides an address, only one provides a PO box.
