I had a very disappointing experience with Zenlayer support and billing.
Before using my balance, I contacted support regarding SMTP port 25. I was asked to create servers and provide IP addresses for review. Based on this guidance, I used my balance to deploy servers and shared the requested information.
Only after doing this was I informed that external access to port 25 is not supported at all. When I requested a refund, support refused, stating that used machines are non-refundable, even though they were created solely following their instructions.
There was no clear communication upfront that port 25 could never be opened under any circumstances. If this had been clearly stated, I would not have created the servers or spent the balance.
Support responses were polite but rigid, and no goodwill or fair resolution was offered. Overall, poor communication and an unfair outcome for the customer.
