They have experienced multiple outages…

They have experienced multiple outages over the course of just a few days. Customers were left with minimal information or updates during these incidents, creating frustration and uncertainty about service status.

The unprofessional behavior is evident throughout their operations. Staff members can be seen arguing with each other in public announcements, creating an unprofessional image that reflects poorly on the company. This lack of internal coordination and public discord demonstrates poor management and workplace culture.

Their support system is both slow and unreliable, leaving customers without timely assistance when problems arise. Additionally, their control panel and other essential services are extremely slow to respond, making basic account management tasks frustrating and time-consuming.

Overall, this is a terrible service that fails to meet basic standards of reliability and professionalism. Even as a free service, the poor performance, frequent downtime, and unprofessional conduct make it unsuitable for any serious use.

Poor Business Practices and Data Loss

They abused pay-as-you-go services to provide free servers, accumulated significant debt, and have now lost all customer data. This is a terrible way to conduct business. While I can understand operating at a loss temporarily while developing a sustainable profit model, they chose to run two dedicated servers exclusively for free users, resulting in predictable financial losses.

Unprofessionalism

Beyond the financial mismanagement, their handling of the situation demonstrates a complete lack of professionalism. Losing customer data is one of the most serious failures a hosting provider can experience, yet there appears to be no adequate backup strategy or disaster recovery plan. The decision to prioritize free services over sustainable business operations shows poor judgment and a lack of responsibility toward paying customers who rely on their services.

Recommendation

I do not recommend this provider if you want professional and reliable hosting. Look elsewhere for a host that prioritizes data security, financial stability, and professional service delivery.

Great free hosting

Great free hosting. Gives 3GB RAM, 1.5 Cores of CPU and 4GB Storage for free that you can upgrade with QAX. Earning QAX is really simple: you can use Linkversite links or just stay on an AFK page. Staff is always available on their discord server and there are always real time update about the hosting (even when the servers are down!)

Very bad support

Very bad support. They don’t help, don’t adjust to the users they are “helping” and don’t know how to be professional.

Not Recomended

The hosting is fine. Promoting on tiktok that it has 4gb of ram for free but in reality it has 3. To upgrade it is so hard. And lets not forget the support. The support ignored my messages told me im rude what i said "L support"

Could be better

could use an improvement since it has a lot of issues

I would change this review but, you can't even make a server right now but it says in the panel that 180 are available for the uk and 100 for us.. What.

And it would be better if it there's different locations don't you think so? I mean, aternos is better than this as of now.

I played on the server that uses this hosting but, chunks take longer than aternos to load and it just disconnects us

We will try! But a 1 star is quite broad and harsh don't you think?

EDIT:
UK simply has more demand for US. And for now Europe and America is good.

We've tried clearing the servers and that, there's no way to win here unless we add some crazy ads and miners which yall wouldn't want, and there isn't any paid servers being bought so
