We don’t foresee any reason why, but if anything comes up and you are unhappy with JestServers.com, we offer an industry-leading pro-rated refund. Unlike other services who lock down your money after a couple days, JestServers.com has a different business model: pay only for what you use. Our Pro-Rated Policy means that you will never owe us the balance of unused time on your contract. If you order for a month, use the server for 2 weeks and decide to cancel, we will refund the last 2 weeks of your money. Because of the built in savings on quarterly plans there is a reduction in the amount refunded.
FAQ:
Q: What type of network do the servers run on?
A: All servers run on premium networks with redundant Tier-1 providers. OSPF and Flow Control Platform(FCP) enhances performance through these multiple providers to make sure your game servers are always taking the fastest and most reliable route. This multicarrier intelligent routing identifies the absolute fastest route across Internet backbones, improving performance 15 to 35 percent(compared to static BGP routing), as well as taking the most reliable and fewest hops possible between clients so that long distances between clan members has a minimum effect on ping. Industry leading hardware provides maximum uptime and performance at all times.
Q: Are there any activation/extraneous fees?
A: No, whatever the price is when you checkout is what you pay. Out of 5 years I have never raised rates on a customer, what you buy your server at is what you keep it at.
Q: Can I upgrade or downgrade slots at any time?
A: Yes, you can do this from the billing panel. Simply click on My Services, then click on the green arrow next to the service, then at the bottom click Upgrade/Downgrade options. This will create an invoice for the upgrade and once paid will instantly be activated. You may need to change the player count in some games if it is set in the config file manually. You can always use less than the number of slots that you paid for.
Q: What happens if I miss a payment?
A: We have a 7 day period until the server is suspended for non payment. After suspension, you can pay at any time within 30 days(sometimes more) and your server will automatically be re-enabled. If you plan on being late on a payment let us know, we can usually work something out. No late fees. After 30 days of non payment we reserve the right to terminate the server, but generally it will still be there for much longer.
Q: What is your refund policy? How does it work?
A: If you are not happy with the server and paying monthly, just ask for a pro-rated refund. Whatever time is left in the month you’ll be fully refunded for. This policy shows that we care about having great performance and up time, all the time! This refund policy is unheard of to my knowledge in the game server world, many only give you 3 or 5 days to ask for a refund, then for the rest of the time you are at their mercy. We can do this because our customers rarely ask for refunds, they stay with us. If paying Quarterly you get a pro-rated refund for the rest of the time remaining minus a 25% fee(As paying Quarterly you save 20%, the highest Quarterly discount I know of).
Q: What is the policy towards ads on the server? Could I accept donations for it?
A: Ads and donations are totally up to you, it’s your server :)
Q: What about the server hardware?
A: All of our servers run on commercial class hardware and have a guaranteed 20% overhead free(This is also very rare and I don’t know of any other companies that do this). We do everything we can to make sure performance is the best it can be. If it’s not up to your standards then we have our great refund policy.
Q: What if I need to move my server to a different location?
A: That’s no problem, location moves are free.
Q: Give me free stuff with my order!
A: We provide free redirect servers for your server with us with full ftp permissions, free email accounts, and free mysql hosting. Even free full featured Cpanel hosting for clans willing to put up an affiliate banner with dedicated IP address(you can use your own domain or a sub-domain of ours if you’d like).
Q: How does billing work?
A: We use Paypal, Google Checkout, AlertPay and Authorize.net. If you don’t have a Paypal account, you can still use it or any of the other gateways as they all support credit and debit cards. You can never “owe” us money. Whenever you no longer want your server you can put in a server cancel request if you’d like a refund on the remaining time or simply stop paying. With Paypal there is an option to create a subscription which will automatically pay for your server on time. If you cancel your server please be sure to also cancel the subscription on Paypal. We can gladly do this for you if you need help, and if you forget to do this after canceling your server we will give you a full refund on any money sent.

Hello, my name is Kevin but in most games I go by Jest or even more lol, Jestserver. I am 25 and have been running dedicated servers for 12+ years now. I have a few technical certs such as CCNA and an associates in Network Security Technology(with minors in business).
I don’t do this for money because I didn’t make any for many years and totally enjoyed it. I treat your server as if it was my own, if you have a problem then I will work on it pretty much non stop or until I’ve tried everything possible. I give out refunds any time you ask, pro-rated any day any time :) . I’d much rather have a happy ex-client then an angry customer.
I started out at 12 with my first server client chat experience, Hotline, a chat/file sharing program. I really enjoyed the community and for some reason loved coming home from school and looking at the logs of all the activity that went on. I was on a 48kbps dial up connection at the time, it was all that was offered in my small town. When coaxial came to town I had been on the waiting list for a year, and was the 2nd one on the network. I went to fileplanet.com and downloaded a Tribes starsiege patch at like 900KBps and was the happiest person on earth. My upload was 40KBps which I was happy about but still wonder to this day why they can’t have a closer to 1:1 ratio…
After that the Hotline server grew at a very fast rate until eventually I had to let someone take over the hosting for me. If you ever used Hotline in the late 90s you probably heard about or saw MangoServer rofl. Next was hosting Diablo and Starcraft custom games, and it just spread from there.
You can also read some history behind the name here http://main.jestservers.com/forum/index.php/topic,45.0.html and post what you think.
Now I get to host many servers on massive connections from multiple Tier 1 providers. My first taste of a remote dedicated server was thanks to a job I still work some times. My boss let me use excess upload to host a CSS 24 man server on my P4 LAPTOP with 2GB of ram! Oh man I went nuts from there. That ip:port was up until recently when they switched providers, but I still host a CSS server to this day on that same connection for a friend.
I never planned on charging but very quickly I had used up the excess upload given from my boss, and needed to rent a dedicated server to tinker around with. I picked up a 2nd job and used that money to expand. I still have to sometimes work a normal job to pay excess server fees. So to this day I don’t do this for the money lol. I am learning A LOT from this and think they should have this in college. I meet a lot of cool people and have fun actually providing great service. I don’t have any paid helpers though clan vexed.ca has been VERY helpful, plus new people I have met through sponsoring and gaming.
I’m going to school for a 4 year degree in INSY and marketing(almost done finally), I dj some times, google dj jest torrent for some of my ooold stuff. Oh and play games, mostly RPG, RTS, FPS and anything music wise, like DDR, PIU, Beatmania, DJ Hero, Guitar Freaks and Guitar Hero, Heroes of Newerth, Warband, Mass Effect. I travel as much as possible and subconsciously search for arcades usually before any form of club or hot spot. I try and keep up with current games so I can actually know what I am talking about when discussing tickrates, choke, max cmdrate, server side fps and what not. You can check out all the games I play on my xfire profile. If you have a server with jestservers.com you’ve probably talked to me on a daily basis, if not, you should give us a shot, it’s worth it. This is starting to sound like a really bad personals ad so I am going to stop here for now.
