Once I rented a server for 20€/month, few weeks later they launched a new equivalent server for only 4€ and they don't allows me to migrate.
- ddorian43 12y agoSo you went to another host and how much do you pay now?
- jamroom 12y agoSpin up a new one, transfer your data, spin down the old one?
- martinald 12y agoYep. You can also keep the same IP address and just repoint it at the new server, so absolutely no downtime.
- dvl 12y agoI've tried, like when I needed a bigger server but everything was sold-out, so I asked to customer services if they can apply the new price for my old server, they refused, after this I waited for a 7 months for the new servers begin available again, and then in dec/2013 they also discontinued the "new" servers without anything else in place and I cancelled my account.
- X-Istence 12y agoThat's the risk you run with any service provider. At one point I had servers at The Planet/Softlayer and after a year they had a new deal with the same server/hardware with more memory for half of what I was paying. I ended up ordering a new server, and having to move my data and everything because the sales rep couldn't get me the new deal on my old server.
