I am used to window vps running through my rdp. i used to use Contabo (i still feel they are the cheapest), but paying for their monthly subscription is a whole lot heck from my end. Sadly contabo does not accept crypto which is more easier for me to make payment with.
However, while i was searching for alternative, i got into this Hostinger vps, which i think was ok. But my mistake was i did not read properly to know they do not have window vps.
I had made payment for 1year via crypto (which is non-refundable).
While i was trying to set up the vps, i got to know that there is no window os. All are just linux and the likes.
I have never used Linux before.
After back and forth, reading, engaging their support, i tried to installed the ubuntu with desktop and after much stress in trying to connect the via my window rdp, i got the ubuntu set up, but it was extremely slow and practically unusable to even browse not even to move cursor on.
I really feel helpless and sad. I wasted time, energy and funds on this.
I eventually discussed with the support to make refund, but they can only refund into the hostinger account and not back to my wallet. However, the support gace me 2 options on how the credited fund can be used, and i copied her word-for-word below:
---------------------------------------------
The credits will stay there until it is used.
However, if you really wish to use it, perhaps, you can purchase a domain, and then, the domain can be transferred to another account.
That is the only possible way I can see to help you use the balance for another account.
--------------------------------------------
Thank you for your understanding!
Also, if you wish, if someone needs a hosting plan, you can purchase the plan and then you can give the account to that person by changing the email account so they can use it for them.
--------------------------------------------------
However, i want to ask, has anyone been in my position before? How did you do it, were you able to get the ubuntu to work or what did you do.
I will really appreciate to read from you guys.
