  • They had this first year-only free service for long time :blush: Last couple years I am paying the renewal price but the the first two years I was using it for free (you can cancel on time and order a new one for free with the same user account).

    When you do the 3-months before cancel is it cancelled immediately or at the end of the 3-months?

    The two free services I had got cancelled automatically if you don't upgrade to a paid plan. Their current services are different but I understand from the contract terms you will get 12months of active services.

    You do realize they do this most likely for two reasons:
    1. You probably give them permission to share your personal information with their 'associates' in which case you will start to get spam calls and such after sign-up
    2. They are just pumping up their user count to prepare to sell the company as even a non-paying customer is a customer when tabulating (increasing value of the business).

    Nothing in life is free. This isn't free either, you are trading your personal information for a service and that personal information is likely much more valuable to them than the product they are giving you for "free".

    my 2 cents.

    Cheers!

    So, their staff will look and enjoy my stash of "Linux ISO"?

  • I won't be able to use Borg to the backup space, or?

    1. Subscription trap. You get something for free, and the provider makes money later because you forget to cancel in time.

  • I recently cancelled mine from last year's offer. The email states:

    Deletion of services:
    On 2022-01-25 all services (email addresses, email accounts, webspace, IP addresses, server drives) of this contract will be deleted.

    Deletion of user data:
    Store all your user data (websites, backup data, emails, etc.) until 2022-01-25. This data is not available after 2022-01-25.

    Accounting:
    All services are accounted until 2022-01-25.

    So it appears to run for 12 months, even though you need to cancel after around month 9 or sooner.

    I've not received any spam. (I used a unique email address, so I'd probably notice.)

    I don't like how the storage account is configured--it seems like there are a bunch of hoops to jump through to get rsync to work with ssh keys.

  • What reason providing everything for free with a long term? Just attract a lot of freeloaders who drops your product after free time are ends. How many people are extend? 0.001% Not sure.

    If they charged for their services, maybe they could upgrade their 1990s web site :D

    For longer term thats an investment from provider worth considering.

    When customers start filling data possibility is they stay for longer.

  • thank you for shareing default

    they replied to me that it will get cancelled after 1-year term and not immediately.

  • That means the price is €30 for the first two years.

    omg free 1TB, i love it.
    btw this site also offer free vps with ipv6 but you have to renew every week to keep the vps - https://hax.co.id/

    but you have to renew every week month to keep the vps

    :)

  • The connection is not that stable. I got many time outs when transferring many small files at the same time. Once it reached 300 Mbps, then back to 1-3 MBps. Unable to login to web dav, rsync is yet to be tested, web storage loading took long time. FTP is unencrypted, also web storage ui is unencrypted http site.
