Not reliable
I used CC as a cloud computing provider. On one of my instances I received an abuse report for sending unwanted mail (probably?), although I did not send any emails, nor interacted with any third parties from the server. What happened next was: 1) I replied to the ticket on the same day trying to clarify the situation. 2) my server instance was suspended on the next day because of my inactivity, i.e. despite me replying to the ticket. 3) the service remained unavailable with me being unable to access my data for a week. In the week passed, I made unsuccessful attempts to sort the situation out with the support. It seems that some parts of the conversation were actually with bots (maybe, it was very weird). In the end, my instance was unsuspended and I was requested to fix the problem without deleting the instance. Nice...except there was no problem on my side. I immediately destroyed the server instance to avoid being billed further and now waiting if there is going to be a refund. Refund conditions almost seem to be indicative of a fraud because a) destroying the instance without solving the abuse report supposedly disqualifies you for a refund (albeit I repeat - there was no abuse on my side), so you get continually charged, or b) you continue being charged for an unreliable service that you do not want to use anymore. I suggest to stay away from this service or deposit only very small amounts of money that you are willing to lose. Reference ticket numbers: #9589137, #5264464, #0986017. As of now, some of the tickets were edited and large parts of the conversation deleted in the internal system.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry for the frustration this situation has caused. Abuse reports were generated from your server, and as you mentioned not sending emails, we tried to help you resolve the abuse report by suggesting best practices. (such as running a scan to clean any malware or rebuilding the server if no important data is on it.) Abuse of any kind is strictly not tolerated on our platform! To clarify, since you destroyed that server without resolving an abuse report, your account was limited and was not eligible for a refund as stated in our Terms of Service. However, we reviewed your case and approved the refund as a courtesy to ensure a positive outcome. If you have further concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your patience and for allowing us to address this matter.
