Unhappy with the service

We always try our best to meet the demands with the assistance of customer feedback! Of course we can’t meet every single individual case of expectations.

In this case we want to check every opportunity to clarify your concerns. Our primary goal is to solve your problems and questions. But if all this won’t help with your issue we’d be happy to see you in the customer support – so we can find a solution together. It is completely irrelevant at what time you notify us, we are trying to find the best possible solution then.

We can only work on that if you give us detailed and factual feedback about your problem.

We are looking forward to hear from you! Even if you’re happy with us! 😀

I forgot my login credentials/password!

Are you having trouble logging into your customer account or have you forgotten your login credentials? Do you see the message “We were unable to log you in with these credentials” in the web interface?

In that case, there are two options.

Resetting Password

If you have only forgotten your password, please use the password reset function in our web interface VionityCP. You can find this either by selecting the corresponding button in the login process or directly at this link (Password Reset).

VionityCP web interface is directly linked to your customer account, so changing your password in VionityCP will also update it in all our systems.

Forgot Email Address

If you have forgotten your email address at Prepaid-Hoster.de along with your password, please follow these steps.

Try all your email addresses using the password reset function. If a correct email address is entered, you will receive an email at that address sooner or later. Due to data protection reasons, you will not receive direct feedback online about whether the email exists in our customer database. If none of the email addresses work, please contact our customer service – in this case, by email. Please include the following information:

  • Your full name
  • Your full address
  • A copy of your ID card (sensitive data/images can be blacked out).

The responsible staff member will assist you further.

Quick tip: A password tool can help you with both data entry and password security!

Do you offer an installation service/remote hands?

We are happy to perform paid work on your server.

Costs

  • Mon-Fri: €15 per started 15 minutes.
  • Sat, Sun, Holidays: €30 per started 15 minutes.

These fees apply for any kind of work on your server, such as manual backups, configurations, or installations.

Whether and when we intervene is entirely up to our technician.

We generally handle the following installations:

  • Keyhelp
  • Nextcloud
  • LinuxGSM Gameserver
  • Latest Java version
  • MySQL/Mariadb server
  • TeamSpeak 3 server
  • Other well-known software
  • Installation of supported ISOs on KVM servers
    • Windows Server 2019
    • Windows Server 2016
    • Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS

We do not guarantee proper functionality during installation. This especially applies to untested operating systems. The installation by a supporter/technician does not exempt the customer from the obligation to secure their server. Each customer is responsible for the security of their server.

Check out our Game-Server Cloud for virtual servers if you want to install a TS3 server, an MC server, CS:GO server, or an Ark server. This works perfectly with just a few clicks.

We do not offer individual installation/configuration of:

  • Minecraft servers/gameservers
  • OpenVPN/VPN servers
  • Mail server configurations
  • Custom software

If you need something else, please let us know via ticket. If a technician is familiar with it, we can fulfill your request.

Please note that we charge a fee for each individual installation, as a technician needs to be deployed. Since we work with the prepaid system, there must be sufficient credit available before the intervention.

The intervention usually takes place on workdays during our office hours. Please also note that we require access to your server/webspace and may need additional access in order to complete the task.

How to plan an intervention

If you need help with installing software, please open a ticket with the desired details. A staff member will then send you an offer if we can perform the intervention for you. If you would like to accept the offer, please top up your credit and notify us in the ticket that you have done so. We will then deduct the credit and carry out the intervention. Please note that there is no guarantee that we will successfully perform the intervention. In this case, we unfortunately cannot refund your credit. However, our technicians will do their best.

Why are disposable emails prohibited?

Many customers register with us using disposable emails. We understand the purpose behind it, but we assure you that there is no reason to worry if you provide us with your real email address.

In our web shop, we prohibit registration with disposable emails. This is not because we want to flood your inbox with advertisements – we don’t do that anyway – but rather because we want to protect you and your data.

We do not send email advertisements

Imagine signing up with us using a disposable email. During the registration process, you need to verify your email address and you may never open that tab again afterwards.

We always send important messages regarding your server via email. So, if your server:

  • expires
  • is being shut down for maintenance
  • has been locked
  • has an inquiry

You would not receive any notifications, and it would be frustrating if you miss the deadline for renewal and your data gets permanently deleted.

Additionally, if you forget your password and do not remember the disposable email address, you won’t be able to reset your password correctly. Without proper verification, even our support team cannot assist you in that moment.

Disposable emails are security vulnerabilities

With most disposable email providers, anyone can access the mailbox even months after its creation by simply using the email address that you registered with us. There is no authentication process, and all emails are displayed, regardless of whether you access the mailbox or if an unknown person does so.

In theory, this means that anyone can access your emails, which results in potential unauthorized access to your prepaid hosting account. Furthermore, it is possible for anyone to access your server data, manipulate it, damage it, or steal your information.

We promise you that there is no reason to use a disposable email with us. As a service provider, we need to ensure the security of your prepaid hosting account.

What does ”Outdated server-package” mean?

Your server probably won’t get the newest features if it’s highly outdated. We also can’t ensure the compatibility of the new webinterface-functions in this case, also we only unlock the features for servers, that got rented from our shop.

Thats why we please you to update the server package to a new one contemporary.

How do I update?

Please notify our support. We adapt your package for you, after we have told you, what will change.

Will my data remain?

Everything stays the same within and after an upgrade or downgrade. The only thing that could happen is that you have to restart your server to get the new ressources.

When will you cancel my outdated product?

Therefore we haven’t got a unique answer it depends on which product you have got. But we certainly give you enough time to change your package. In addition we will contact you multiple times by email before we actually cancel your package.

We adhere to the notice periods in our General Terms and Conditions.

If you have got unanswered questions about this topic, please contact our support. There we will surely help you!

Can I test your servers before purchasing?

It is completely understandable that you would want to know if the chosen product meets your expectations or requirements before making a purchase. The same applies, of course, especially to our virtual servers. The actual performance in this segment varies with each provider and depends on the hardware used, installed software services, and occupancy of the host systems.

And that’s exactly why we make it extremely easy for you: simply test our servers for a full seven days, completely free of charge and without any obligation! To do this, you only need to provide your name and email address on our corresponding test server page – and after a few minutes, your test server will be completely prepared and ready for use!

To accommodate as many interested parties as possible with this trial offer, we allocate a server of your choice as a test server.

–> Click here to go to the order page for our free test server

So, what are you waiting for? You can do everything with the server that you would do with a “regular” purchased server (within the framework of our terms and conditions). The test servers are created on a regular customer system and are no different from those that can be booked permanently. We don’t deceive you!

After the 7-day trial period, you have the following two options:

  1. Convert the test server into a regular server with just a few clicks. All data and the assigned IP address remain the same, so you can also use the test period as a free time to set up the server. After that, you can upgrade or downgrade the server as you wish.
  2. Simply let the server expire (without cancellation). All server data will be deleted, and you will not incur any obligations.

Sounds good, right? 😉

Please note that our test servers can only be allocated once per customer. Provision is only possible when providing a “real” email address, as we want to avoid abuse and security vulnerabilities. We explain why we do not accept disposable email addresses in the following FAQ article: Why are disposable emails prohibited?

Sponsorship/Partnership

Currently, we are not actively seeking new direct partners.

Please note that we generally do not provide free servers for advertising anymore. Experience has shown that sponsoring or partnering with Advantage Servers usually does not result in a win-win situation. Unfortunately, we have been promised benefits that could not be fulfilled or were significantly reduced after just a few months.

Therefore, we kindly ask for your understanding that we no longer enter into partnerships (for free or discounted servers).

However, we do have a free affiliate system through which you can earn credit by referring others. Visit Become a partner now for more information.
