Don't sign up for Delux Hosting -They are incommunicado
#1

Don't sign up for Delux Hosting. They took my money and never set up the server, and have not answered my emails. I have had to file a dispute with Paypal to get my money returned. I assume they are out of business but are still taking money from anyone dumb enough to send it to them (like me).

Just a friendly warning.

On another note, I am looking for a server host that actually will set up my server if I pay for it. Any ideas?

Pretty much any other host will do the job. Delux Host have a long history of being completely retarded. Check out this thread:

Well, I paid the money and got an automated reply that my order hadn't gone through. So, I sent them an email, and opened up a support ticket as well, with a screenshot of the transaction from Paypal so they could look it up as well as the other information from the order form. They only other email I ever got was an automated reply that I had opened a support ticket. They have not set up my server, returned my money or let me know what was going on, and it has been almost a full week. That's unacceptable in my opinion.

For a game server? You'll lose so much more on the legal fees then you'll ever gain.

Lol. Sue them? I'm not going to sue them. I'm just letting other people know so that they don't make the same mistake I did....I'm not raging just sharing information.

I sadly fell for this too, They would not help me on tickets nor respond to my emails.

Well, I guarantee that 100 percent of their SA-MP customers visit these forums, so they didn't make a very good business decision by screwing those of us who come here.

I finally received an email from them. I had already signed up for another host however, so it was far too late. They have refused to refund my money. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR DELUX HOST! I am going to update this thread daily until they refund my money.

When they told you you would not get a refund, did they state a reason.
They probably did, so why don't you say it?

Tell them that you do not want a refund, and that you ONLY want your *insert vulgar adjective here* gameserver.

But your paypal dispute should go well, hopefully.

No offence but Delux is pretty much one of the bad hosts of the long lasting hosts of SA-MP. I've been offered to the support team there. I've knew people that don't know fuck all about SA-MP servers or even how to make a paypal account and still where picked to be apart of the Support Staff at delux.

The only problem is, gamemode leaking, the owner was (not sure if is anymore) a active member of a community that was mainly against SA-MP and SA-MP team back in 09-10. He was a staff member of it as well.

Another few details they claim their control panel to be the "most advanced control panel" and more. It's never been updated for ages and lacks lots of easy features. Slow support, barely ever updates any of their websites even the server attack page only goes to "2008" so clearly that has never been bothered to be updated so really lazy as well. And just a lot more things I could go on and on about but I been with them in the past while only the Co-Owner and Staff Member of PR-RP and I don't recommend them at all.

You had to drop in a little bit of.advertising, didn't ya...

Anyways, I wonder why they are still in the list of service providers if they are so bad.
