After having been with JaguarPC for a community site for 3 years, we started to have proplems with them. We installed a wiki that apparently is interesting to some people that decide to use wget or similar to download it all.
That produces a load (omg, 4 open threads) that according JaguarPC is too much, but instead of saying us or ban the draining IP, they decided to block access to our site via .htaccess files (owned by root), requesting us to solve the problem. Obviously is not in our hands toask people out there: please don’t connect to our site too much.
After several problems like this we decided to leave, and moved all our comunity to another provider.
Recently, the day for the renewal at JaguarPC came, and we did ignore all the mail asking us to pay for renewal, asuming if we don’t pay, they will cancel the account. But the did not: they decided to pick up the credit card we used last time and charge on it!!
We were upset, but we thought it was just a mistake and asked JaguarPC for refund and account cancelation, and they said they cannot do that cause their policy says they can only refund on the 30 days after the service is started, that is 4 years ago.
From that point they began to act like robots, unable to think, and just follow up their fixed scripts were you cannot get rid of it.
Well, this is my review about JaguarPC , a service that was good 4 years ago, mediocre 1 year ago, and just a band of thieves today.
I still have some customer of mine accounts there, but they will be leaving as soon as they expire, though I’m afraid they can charge my customer as well even when left.
Be careful!
