There site has USA or UK, I signed up for UK, there is nothing about EU/Spain hosting.
Now if they sent that message before creating the account, I would of cancelled the order and forgot about it, but they didn't.
My point is they are mis-selling there UK location as EU/Spain.
I don't see this as "mis-selling".
The above statement clearly indicates that they do have services in the UK and is still in production. However, they are planning to move services out of the UK to the ES, to a better infrastructure.
So as you and other see they still have UK servers.
Why did they put me on it to start with, or at least ask me before creating the account.
They presumed and put me on an Spain server without asking, while still advertising UK location on there website which they charge extra for.
No where on there site, does it state about orders in the UK being put in Spain.
This is why I said about mis-selling.
It would take minutes if that, to change UK to EU or Spain on there website.

It is not suitable for my needs as I needed UK hosting not Spanish hosting
Or moving to a Spanish server from a UK server.
Refund, move on..
So, any bench?
No
I haven't used the account and checked the IP first like I do with all my hosting providers I use.
If I could be bothered I would probe and see if they are in Spain. But I can't be bothered
Neither can I. He doesn't bother. So, we don't bother.
Simple as dat.
I checked, he is correct, that /24 is routed in Spain, specifically in https://www.ripe.net/membership/indices/data/es.bitnap.html
so... guess this is the foot stamp that makes the rule.
Oh dear

Thanks for checking
I would of gained nothing from lying and would of made myself look even more stupid, than I have already.
I never thought you were lying tbh, just so many complains like this I see, (easy 99/100) it turns out they just whois the IP and rely on nothing else.
You were totally within your rights to tell them to fuck off here
