Ask HN: Anyone have experience with infomaniak.com? Are they a scam?

1•OhMeadhbh•1h ago
I need a VPS hosted in Europe for a European project. I saw an ad for infomaniak.com in Switzerland and figured they were as good as any small provider.

But after giving them my credit card info and trying to order a web site and a VPS, the prices multiplied by 10x and 5x. Maybe it's the "we don't like Americans" tax.

I canceled my account, but I'm worried I just gave my CC details to Russian hackers. There's also no way to delete your account from the admin interface. This looks scammy.

Anyone have experience with infomaniak.com? Are they legit? Should I be canceling that card?

Everyone likes to dunk on AWS and GCP, and AWS billing is sometimes problematic, but I've never had Amazon say "the price for this service is $2 per month" and then when you enable it have it balloon to $20 per month. There was a classic situation where some services would keep an EC2 instance running and your bill would be at least 3x what you expected, but infomaniak advertised one price, then at checkout multiplied that price by 10.

Not cool, infomaniac, not cool.
