While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Gold Package for Gold Service

I bought a yearly Gold package in a deal and never regretted it. There were no problems: the servers were always working when I needed it, Retention is great, Articles are generally complete.

"Lifetime discount" price increased by 67% after just three years.

Used to be a customer since 2009, bought a Black Friday "lifetime discount" in 2020.

Now just three years later, the price was supposed to go up by 67% - "with careful consideration".

When I signed up for the deal, it said
"This is also a lifetime discount, which means you’ll have this plan at this price for as long as you continue to be an active XLned user."

Pretty much everybody can see how that... does not look like what they promised?

Thus, one loyal customer of 14 years less to worry about for them.

Used to be an excellent news server

Used to be an excellent news server. But that was back when they had customer service. Their customer service no longer responds (even to paid customers). I have been trying to renew my account for three weeks - visiting their website every few days. Each time I log in to the website and follow the directions, each time the website displays its prepared screen saying an error has occurred and to contact support. Each time I email Xlned support at the email address provided. After they ignored the first email, I have also been using the Contact Support form on their website AND sending them an email each time. It has been three weeks and they still cannot be bothered responding. I'm not sure there even is anyone in their so-called support operation.

I paid to extend my subsciption by a year.
They did not extend
they do not respond to message adressed to helpdesk.
I never met a Dutch that don't speak english.
I think they just are crooks.
