**TitleAccepted My Payment, Then Terminated My Server Without a Refund**
I am absolutely furious with my experience with this hosting provider, and I will never use their services again. I have been a paying customer for several months, hosting a multiplayer game server. Recently, I manually paid an outstanding hosting invoice. The payment was successfully processed, the money was taken from my account, and the invoice was marked as paid. Two days later, I logged into my hosting account and discovered that my service had been marked **TERMINATED**. Not suspended. Not undergoing maintenance. **Terminated.** No refund. No explanation. No functioning service. What makes this situation particularly infuriating is that members of my gaming community contributed their own hard-earned money to help keep the server operational. That money could have gone toward groceries, a meal, or something else they needed. Instead, they trusted me to use it to maintain something our community could enjoy together. **And that's exactly what I did.** I paid the invoice, kept the receipt, and fulfilled my responsibility. Now I'm left with a terminated hosting service, no refund, and no confirmation that our server files or player progress are even recoverable. I understand that the invoice was overdue. However, the provider's billing system still accepted and processed my payment. If a company accepts payment for a service, I expect either the service to be provided or a clear explanation of why it cannot be, along with an appropriate resolution. **I should not have to chase a hosting provider to find out why my money was accepted while my service is terminated.** This situation has completely destroyed my confidence in this company. I have made the decision to permanently move my community to another hosting provider. Regardless of how this situation is ultimately resolved, I will not be purchasing another service from this company. And before anyone says, "It's only a small amount of money," that's not the point. **It's not about how much money was involved. It's about the principle.** When people trust you with their hard-earned money, you have a responsibility to treat that trust seriously. I take that responsibility seriously with my community, and I expect businesses I pay to demonstrate the same level of accountability. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this hosting provider. **Absolutely unacceptable.**
