Tom Handcock was amazing
Tom Handcock was amazing. He went into my server that had very weird and niche issues and took them down somehow. I worked on it myself for about 5 hours and couldnt make anything happen so he's very good at his job. Weird hours but other than that it was amazing. Thank you again, Tom!

Tom was helpful and polite
Tom was helpful and polite, he did everything he was able to get my server back online. I have absolutely no issue with Tom he was great.
the problem does not lie with him but the company it's self, they need to employ more people and not make people wait 3-4 days to have a solution to a server they pay for.
One day after my server was back, the game I play has had another update and my server is back being unable to join..

Paying for a server that doesnt work
So after the update myserver didnt uodate with it so i tried all the things the support person told me. Its been 12 hours and still nothing they dont reply and only say it isnt their problem. So if you were going to host a server here just dont do it.

We completely understand your frustration, particularly when you've followed the guidance given and the issue remains unresolved, and this falls well short of the service we should be providing. We've reached out via Trustpilot to request your details so we can investigate this properly and get you the help you need.

Absolutely abhorrent customer service
Absolutely abhorrent from a customer service perspective. I simply cannot get a human to review my ticket and solve the issue with my server/backup. It is going on day 3 that I have only received unhelpful AI responses.

My experience was negative. I hope yours is better. I will not be back
Multiple times the servers go down or offline during play. it takes multiple attempts just to log in. restarting the server numerous time just to play a few min to an hour and have the server crash. My game files were lost and it took multiple days to get it back online.
