    Question free one month trial???

    Hi all,

    I am getting more and more similar emails:
    Hi, I have used 4 vps\'s so far and all were openvz and had same issue website down. So i request you to give me 1 month trial of your XXXX package and if i dont face any problem i will buy your vps not only this but i can give you geniune positive review on forums like webhostingtalk,digitalpoint,v7n which can bring you more customers for sure. Also i have many friends who own big websites and use vps i will recommend your vps to them too. regards
    We do offer the 7 days money back guarantee.

    Normally the free hosting brings the following:
    - spam
    - abuse of service
    - warez and other illegal activities

    Do you allow sort of client on your servers/nodes?

    Nope, absolutely not.

    I even had a guy on LiveChat the other day asking for the same, claiming it was for a non-profit site and he's tired of providers who don't deliver. If customers have any intention of buying, they would be happy with the money back guarantee. Anyone asking for freebies is simply ignored (within reason).

    Normally this is just a fancy message saying "Hey give me a free VPS for a month so I can spam the hell out of your node and also blacklist your IP's"

    They may make it sound like you'll get business in the end but betime the end is up you have already sent them packing for abuse.

    I have asked what sort of issue this person had - No answer, sound to me the VPS accounts were suspended.

    no chance, this is just asking for problems. ANY hosting customer wanting a 'free trial' is just asking for problems. Best response is to point them to the discount code page
