A £35 billing query turned into the…

A £35 billing query turned into the termination of an account relationship involving 31 domains!

This started as a simple query over a promotion that was offered but not applied at checkout. I raised it on principle, not over the money.

Four days later I received a closure email saying a reply had already been sent. Nothing had reached my inbox or spam, so from my side it genuinely looked like the issue had been closed without being dealt with.

Based on that, I reacted strongly at the time and replied: “Don’t lie to me and tell me you tried to correct this when we both know you didn’t.” That was my honest reaction to what appeared to be a closed ticket with no evidence of a prior response being received.

Once the staff revisited, the issue was resolved very quickly and I thanked them for sorting it.

That REALLY should have been The End. But...it was not!

The staff and I had already established that, while they had sent the email, it had not reached me.

Instead, AFTER the matter was already settled, the owner stepped in personally and escalated an already closed case to ‘address tone’ and what he considered ‘acceptable’ when raising a concern. The conversation was moved away from the support system and onto my personal WhatsApp number, which felt inappropriate given this was a straightforward billing query. This came across as condescending and unnecessarily authoritative, especially given the issue had already been resolved and the matter was already closed.

I made it clear that questioning a discrepancy is entirely normal. Being spoken to in that way, and having a service issue reframed as if it were a behavioural or disciplinary matter, was not acceptable.

At that point, what had been a straightforward business relationship turned into a completely unnecessary personal disagreement, and that was only ever going to head in one direction.

All of this over a £35 transaction where the promotion I applied wasn’t reflected at checkout.

Shortly after that, the account relationship was TERMINATED, despite the account having 31 domains registered and parked with them. I was told I’d have access to EPP/auth codes to transfer my domains, but once the account was restricted I could no longer retrieve them directly and have had to request them manually, turning what should have been a simple exit into a drawn-out process. The restriction was applied late on a Saturday night, leaving no practical way to get support while trying to move everything out. This meant a clean and immediate exit - which was always going to happen after what I experienced as a completely condescending and unnecessary intervention - was no longer possible.

Pathetic.

My issue was never with the support staff - they were great. The original problem was resolved. This became something else after the fact, and the account termination followed.

At no point did I insult or abuse any member of staff. It was crystal clear that this was no longer a professional discussion. I felt spoken down to, and from that point the focus moved away from the original business issue and onto something else entirely. It felt unnecessary and unprofessional. He was right about one thing though - “this is not a good fit,” which they framed in the unsigned termination email.

For context, I moved my domains from another service provider last year and the transfer process was very straightforward and surprisingly well supported.

I chose a local provider because I wanted to support a local business. That makes the way this ended particularly grim.

After the tone of the exchange that followed, it was obvious that continuing the relationship was no longer an option for me.

People can draw their own conclusions from the sequence of events. For me, the way it played out felt heavy-handed, unnecessary, and deeply unprofessional, and I would strongly advise anyone to think carefully before placing trust here.

As a last resort, our management team may decide to bring a client relationship to a close where we feel it is no longer workable. This decision is never taken lightly.

Our goal is simple. Our staff should always be able to do their jobs in a professional environment where respect and trust go both ways. We treat clients with respect at all times and expect the same in return. Protecting our team and maintaining positive working relationships is something we take seriously on an ongoing basis. Where that is no longer possible, ending a business relationship may become necessary. When it does happen, it follows a clear and structured process.

These decisions are not about account size, spend or revenue. They are about making sure our team can do their jobs without being placed in uncomfortable or confrontational situations, while ensuring the wider client base continues to receive consistent, professional support. Most of our client relationships are long-term and positive, which we value greatly.

In those exceptional situations where a relationship does come to an end, clients retain access to essential account functions so they can move their services to another provider as smoothly as possible.

For us, successful business relationships are built on mutual respect and professionalism. Maintaining that environment helps us protect our team while continuing to deliver reliable service to the wider client community.

HOW to measure REAL Customer service

Many Web service providers simply see their clients as Cash Cows that need to be Milked on a regular basis... but thankfully this is NOT the case with clients of Maxer.com

I have been a Very happy client of Spiral Hosting for many years in Ireland, and was somewhat worried when they were bought out by Maxer.

However my worries were totally unfounded. The previous high standard of customer service was not only continued - it was totally amplified.

Stefan in particular, always answered every Support Query Promptly, but he always does so Efficiently and he exemplifies what Old Fashioned customer services TRULY means.

Stefan is a credit to Maxer, and they in turn have created a true bar for what REAL Customer centric companies really need to provide.

May he, and they, continue to do so, for MANY Years to come...

Hi Gerry,
Many thanks for taking the time to leave this review. We’re delighted to hear that you’re happy with the service and support.
We relaunched as Maxer in October 2022, but rest assured it’s still the same company, with the same ownership, team, and services. The only thing that changed was our snazzy new name!
Thanks again for your support.

Maxer Exceeds Expectations…

Prior to calling up Maxer Sales Support Team I had tried to sort out several pressing issues with my former email service provider. Said provider could not fix technical issues despite my 23 year history as a client due to its recent merger which left me unable to receive or send emails for 18 days. Calling 4 times, spending about 2 hr on each call, plus 3.5 hr with an IT specialist at my place, I found myself running on a treadmill. So I switched to Maxer. Maxer effectively restored my email function and migrated 23 year of email files overnight without any glitch. Thank you Maxer.
