Wey check this out, EU new rules say VAT must show in price BEFORE checkout, no more surprise at cart yeah? But I look at InterServer and GreenCloudVPS and prices still say "from 5.00" then boom +20% at payment page

This is ilegal now or what? Some hosts scrambling, I see CloudCone already updated all banners. But others just? Pretending nothing happened

And then check this wey, Leaseweb posted on their blog "we now GEOBLOCK EU to protect our non-EU customers from confusing pricing" like is FEATURE. They really said that!

Pablo is angry and also impressed by the audacity wey

This is stupid, xd

I have server on Leaseweb, this is not problem for me because I am not in EU, but this is very bad look, xd. They could just show price with VAT included, this is not rocket science. I swapped from HostHatch because they do same thing, block instead of fix. This is lazy, xd.

Also their blog post has comma splices everywhere, I counted three, xd.

POLISH SERVERS. LOUD FANS. GOOD PRICE.
