    business company, we want only serious customers annually. And promotion is only active annually ( yearly reservation ). We had a three-month supply a month ago, but not anymore.

  • I think the timline must no go to it's end -or?

    A business company have in my opinion nothing todo with a yearly or quarterly paying.
    Also why should there on quarterly not beeing serious customers?

  • if I have untaxed money, or money from illegal income, such as arms and drug trafficking, I love those years contracts! but now enough, dear business company may only payments for years, but I do not!

    How is it luck when I asked and get told that VISA usually issues refunds in cases like that? You've got a bit too much negative energy in my humble opinion.

    Couldn't agree more... I pay for my web hosting monthly always have and I've been with my current hosting provider for over a year now I believe and I only moved due to my previous providers quality dropping dramatically.

    I also pay my servers from OVH quarterly and yearly for two cheap ones. One of my oh servers is two years old. I also paid monthly for another dedicated server for over a year until I had no use for it. Does that mean I'm not a serious customer?

    @4n0nx I disagree. I've already been hit by scam hosts when prepaying long terms and I've contacted my bank via the correct procedures and I've been refunded only for them to charge me for it again.

    I just don't want to get messed about like I have done in the past. Maybe you feel I'm too negative but I just feel I'm protecting my money.

    Oh and also keyword in your post "usually" meaning on occasion they won't. Maybe I've been the unlucky occasions though.

    It is not uncommon however for cheap deals to only be available on a yearly basis, commitment is important as is reduced payment charges and not having to switch servers about multiple customers.

    Although I would not recommend signing up to a host you do not know or can't fully verify for that length of contract.

    I think everyone is aware now of the various concerns raised, so it's now down to the individuals to make their own choice and for those that buy to keep us up to date.

    Like uniweb said and like I was told by support chat, they seem to get the servers with yearly reservation from Hetzner, so they also want to sell them with a yearly contract.

  • @4n0nx said:

    How is this possible?

    Hetzner bills you monthly, you can't pay for a whole year.

  • @4n0nx said:

    Thats okay but when I asked Hetzner they told me first they have no business partners.
    Also they dont give really better prices on resellers and this makes me to stay away

    Pls show me where it says that resellers can't pay for a whole year. >.>

    And when I asked them I was told that they can't disclose any business information and while it does sound really cheap, they don't know what agreements the reseller has with Hetzner.

    You can credit a years worth of payments with Hetzner however they will still only bill and deduct from the credit monthly.

    They are not offering anyone reseller programs or discounts (unless corp) and that is from my account manager at Hetzner.

  • W1V_Lee said: They are not offering anyone reseller programs or discounts They are not offering anyone reseller programs or discounts

    Their terms mention resellers. o.O

    Indeed, however that is a contractual clause that covers you as a customer leasing a server from them and selling services from it as well as reselling servers themselves. So whilst they are fine with reselling servers they don't actually have a program for resellers.

    On a side note, people are saying they have a server with a E3-1246 v3, I have never seen them advertise that CPU anywhere, so I am wondering if they are colo clients, because that would make absolute sense.

    To be honest I am more confused than ever, I really think it's a language barrier.

  • @W1V_Lee Ditto, language barrier doesn't help. The fact that they use Hetzner's panel makes me think that they're just leasing - unless that's an option available for their colo clients.

    They could have a special agreement, or perhaps an RTO deal. Via skype @uniweb said they had 70+ servers with Hetzner (this was 2-3 weeks ago), which would suggest a couple racks - and that could easily lead to discounts. Who knows, really.

    If there was some quarterly pricing, at a higher price, I'd be more inclined to try. Even $90-100/quarter would be good deal for these - I'll gamble $100 but not $250.

    You do get your own robot access as a colo customer.

    The easy way to find out is if someone who has robot access logs in, and look in the top left, do you see this image >

    Click on invoices and see if there is anything there.

  • @4n0nx Can you check what @W1V_Lee just posted if you got a second, just curious.

  • W1V_Lee said: So whilst they are fine with reselling servers they don't actually have a program for resellers.

    The dude I talked to on the phone kind of implied that they do. To me the terms sound specific for resellers and not individuals that order many servers.

    In my experience it is very common to get a different CPU that is better than the one advertised when ordering a dedicated server. Maybe they just got them for less than the i7, or had them lying around who knows.. they have 21 data centers after all. o.O

    Can't create sub robot accounts with regular account?

  • I mean I was told numerous times that the servers have no traffic limit (no 30TB limit), so they would have to be special somehow, right?

    They aren't special. It's a normal EX40 from Hetzner. I know someone who also got an Intel Xeon CPU with the EX40.

    But if it was just an individual buying servers and reselling them, the servers would have the 30TB traffic limit.

    The servers have a limit of 30TB. I see this in robot.your-server.de:

    EX40 (30 TB) #38XXXX

  • rauppe31 said: The servers have a limit of 30TB. I see this in robot.your-server.de:

    It says that but uniweb confirmed at least 3 times that the servers have no traffic limit.
