Comments on: ServerPronto – $5 Promo Dedicated Server

Server Pronto did the same to me today. Six months at $5, billed twice a month because their billing is messed up and then they gave me a bill of over $40 the same month that I was already charged $5. There was no notice that they were doing this. They claim that there was a limited time at $5, however, before I signed up, they stated that it was not a limited offer. They put me on a more expensive plan, but they did not upgrade my hardware to match that plan. Server Pronto is a joke and I’m moving elsewhere.

Beware everyone looking at this, they will cancel the promo after a few months and try to force you to upgrade to a more expensive server. Also be aware that they seem to try and get you to fax or postal mail a cancelation to them.

I refused but we’ll see where I end up with it.

It can be good but what to do with all this cpu and not much transfert/month?

http://www.hostmds.com/DedicatedServersInToronto.php can be interesting too for small dedi:
Intel P3 667Mhz/256 MB/20 GB/500 Gb transfert for 8 dolls… (but i have contacted the company and they seem shit to me the way they answered…)

Just bought one last night. Will be waiting a while, this will (hopefully) be an SCM server and I’ll (maybe) buy a second later on for backups/web server.

Good value too, saves them from landfill!

Beside this story of “order”, I read many cons about “cancelled” procedure. Do you guys read the TOS before made order?

May have been removed again. Worked fine a few days ago but now when I try, it gives you the Power Plus selection for $110.95/mo. I swear the deal worked for me a few days ago. The wait list was still over three weeks.

Dan, if you see this, how long did you wait? And was it worth it?

Looks like the waiting list for one of these currently is 22 days :|

Thanks – got it and they called to confirm. We’ll see when/if a box shows up for this price.

Err. Okay. Try this link.

I can’t seem to find the option listed anywhere on their site aside from the link with the “Order” buttons which only offer the $32 service..

What I found that works is do not click on Order from the product page. Instead, go to front page, and click on Order of the $5 dedicate server there – it will bring you to the right page.

Is this deal dead? I click through and am asked to pick a ‘package’ ranging from ‘$32.95′ to ‘$499.95′.

Tested @9:39PM EST.

NB: Setup is ‘waived’ only if you opt for quarterly-billing fwict …
