I saw an offer over LET talking about 50% OFF forever for VPS and ordered it, but in the 2nd month, they did not provide me the discount, and their customer service told me this was only for the 1st month only .. how come?!

Dear ARIFUL ISLAM BHUIYAN,

The offer you’re referring to was posted on LET (LowEndTalk) in December 2024, almost a year ago. That promotion ended long ago.

It’s simply not possible to expect a promotional offer from last year to still apply now.

Also, you have reviewed us in past as well but never shared your information to solve claimed issue. We are still not able to find your information in our system. Respectfully, we request to share your registered email here or sales@hostsailor.com to assist you properly.

We value our customer a lot.

Thank you,
The HostSailor Team

Amazing Price, Fantastic stablility!

I bought it last year during the promotion for only $5.99 a year (1vCore of EPYC 9534 and 1G RAM), and it has been perfect ever since. The service never went offline, always stable and responsive. CPU and IO performance stayed consistently strong. For such a low price, it’s truly an incredible value—absolutely worth it!

Excellent uptime and performance

I have two Hostsailor VPS, located in AMS and LAX. They offer reasonable total bandwidth and high-speed connection capabilities.(up to 10Gbps)
I also appreciate the rich functionality of the Control panel, which provides full access to KVM settings—even network driver selection. It's well-suited for professional users.

Great pricing, the technical support team responds to tickets promptly. I love my Commodore KVM and will renew in Dec.

Small VPS is OK

I use a small VPS with Hostsailor for about a year. I realize all the limitations of a small and inexpensive VPS, so I don't have unreasonable expectations and do not try to do heavy things with my vps. My plan's capabilities are sufficient for my needs (programming, scripting, simple web, several web apps). The provider's console works, and my vps is accessible by http and ssh. What's I miss? The only thing that would be nice is the ability to save and load a virtual machine image.

stable and professional

Good cost/preformance ratio.
My Lieutenant KVM is exceptionally stable, with continuous operation lasting nearly a year. The nvme is super fast ( > 20Gbps fio) .
The network has been upgraded to 10Gbps.
Customer service is highly professional and responsive.
P.S. It would be even better if backup storage blocks could be provided.

Paid but didn't get the service

I ordered the "Sailor KVM NVMe" package for $8.99 USD, but never got the service. I went for the crypto payment method and had to send a little bit more than $8.99USD, due to minimum withdrawl requirements of my Crypto Wallet (which I was fine with). Now we are over 2 weeks in, since I paid and still don't have the VPS! I send them prove that I paid for it but they can't help me!

Poor service! Wouldn't recommend this company for your VPS. Imagine havings trouble every month, when it gets down to the payment.

Key Takeaway: Choose another company than Hostsailor!

Dear Artem,

We’re very sorry for the frustration you experienced. We thoroughly investigated your order with our billing team and payment gateway (Payssion). According to Payssion records, the BTC transaction hash you provided does not appear on their system, and no payment was received on our side. 

We did our best to assist you throughout the process, requesting transaction details, email addresses, and verification from your payment platform, and kept communication open for two weeks. Unfortunately, without confirmation from the payment gateway, we are unable to activate the service or recover funds.

If you believe the payment was sent successfully, we recommend double-checking the wallet or platform you used to initiate the transaction, as they may be able to trace the funds and solve the issue. We openly ask to share any more information which can help to locate transactions from outside as well. 

 We remain committed to transparency and resolving such issues whenever possible.

This is the worst service I have ever…

This is the worst service I have ever experienced. I paid my money to rent a VPS server so that I could use the server to upload my personal work files and photos, but I was surprised that my photos were deleted from the server without any justification. When I decided to contact technical support, they did not respond.

Misleading advertising and poor customer service experience

I purchased a server from HostSailor after seeing their advertisement on LowEndTalk. Unfortunately, what I received didn't match what was advertised - I paid for a year of service but only received one month.
When I contacted support about this discrepancy, they refused to refund to my original payment method and would only offer store credit, despite my purchase being within their advertised 14-day guarantee period.
After opening a PayPal dispute to resolve the issue, HostSailor immediately cancelled my server completely. Now I've lost both my money and the service I paid for. PayPal has been unresponsive to the dispute as well.
Based on my experience, I would recommend caution when considering this provider. They displayed expired promotional offers, charged for services that didn't match their advertising, and their customer support was unhelpful when attempting to resolve these issues.

Dear Houssine Oulhaj,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We’d like to clarify a few important points:

The promotion you referred to on LowEndTalk was published in December 2024. By the time you purchased in April 2025, the code was no longer valid and therefore not applied at checkout.

Regarding the refund, our Terms of Service (publicly available on our website) specify that the 14-day money-back guarantee applies only to new customers. Since your account was created in December 2022 and has been used for multiple services since then, the policy does not apply. Here is the link to our terms. https://hostsailor.com/terms-of-service

When the matter was escalated to PayPal, your server was suspended while the dispute was under review, which is also standard practice.

After winning the dispute with Paypal, still as a goodwill gesture, we offered to issue the refund as account credit, but unfortunately this was declined.

We take transparency very seriously and always encourage customers to review our TOS before purchasing. Our team remains available if you’d like to discuss alternative resolutions. You can reach us at sales@hostsailor.com

Thank you

Quick support, good prices!

I have a super cheap VPS and I needed to reach support for custom ISO.

They did it EXTREMLY QUICK! And server performance is really good for what I’m paying.

Reliable provider, fast and friendly support

I'm a happy HostSailor customer since 2019 without any major issues. I have a few small budget VPS with them from their Netherlands location. The VM's usually works rocks solid for me.:) I'm overall satisfied with the provided performance and quality for this price. Their support usually fast, and always was friendly with me. Sometimes they has a really good promotions, offers. Old, reliable provider.. I can recommend Them.

Unable to renew a domain with them.

Unable to renew a domain with them.
Paid the invoice but the domain stays expired for several days.
Their support says exactly this:
----
Unfortunately, the domain registrar has encountered an error, which has temporarily prevented the renewal process from completing successfully.
We are actively working with the registrar to resolve this issue.
----
"The registrar" is Enom, actually.
My support ticket is #AP457761 in case somebody is listening on their side.

UPD:
Adding one star - my domain is finally renewed. It took 5 days(!), two messages to the support team and this review.

Dear Roman,

We sincerely apologize for the delay in renewing your domain. Unfortunately, the issue was caused by a problem with our registrar, which was beyond our control. However, we worked diligently with them to resolve the situation, and the renewal issue has now been sorted. While this was out of our hands, we fully understand the frustration it caused, and I would like to once again apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,
HostSailor Team
