🎁 Challenge the LES community with quirky promos (just keep it jolly)!

For Everyone Else

Get ready to snag some incredible deals, discover unique providers, and join the banter. Don’t forget to share your favorite holiday memes, setup pics, and anything else that screams festive nerd energy!

Let’s make this thread the highlight of the year. Providers, sharpen your claws and load your sleds with goodies. Everyone else, warm up your wallets and get those holiday emojis ready.

FAQ:

Q: Do you allow gameservers?
Because most gameservers generally attract (D)DoS attacks, we currently do not allow them on our network.
This also applies to voiceservers such as Teamspeak and Mumble.
Q: Can I run a VPN?
Private VPN servers are perfectly fine with us. Public ones, however, are not.
Q: What’s your refund policy?
We do have a 30-day refund policy for your first service with us.
Q: What payment methods are accepted?
We accept payments via PayPal.
Q: Do you have a test IP/file?
Yes.
Q: Do you offer instant setup?
Servers on this offer are instantly provisioned, subject to stock availability.
Q: Why my order was marked as fraud?
The usual reason for an order, being marked as fraud is if you place it from a VPN/Server IP. We do not allow such kind of orders, so if you intend to order with a VPN, it will be marked as fraud. If you are on vacation/holiday and live in a different country, please contact us prior to ordering.
