@root said: Simpler solution: If customer has 2FA enabled, then allow email editing.
That will not stop the following:
A buys a service, blatantly violates the TOS. We give the fella a friendly nudge—"Hey, cut that shit out, or the service gets suspended." Fella decides to behave… but since they can’t do the "thing" they wanted anymore, they just hand off the account to Fella B.
The above is something we played for 3 months, then we just disabled the email field to not be editable.
Some of these changes might not sit well with everyone, but as I mentioned here on LES, starting from zero and growing slowly gave us a valuable learning curve. Every measure we’ve implemented came out of necessity—to keep the 80%+ happy and running smoothly, while letting the 20% find another place to do "their thing."
Thank you for the explanation. I have no idea how to solve these kind of abuses. You could be right, I don't know.

Neither did we at first, some providers did gave us a heads up " hey host-c, that is not a good idea ", they were right, and I thank them.
In the end, if we let abusers or other into the network, that would just mess with the nice folks who play by the rules.
This translates to being disrespectful towards them as we cannot provide a good service ( I hardly doubt that hosting anything in any way works, you have a ton of examples here and on OGF ), and if we do not respect our customers, what does that say about us?

@host_c said: 2 - auto backup / snapshot on storage VPS - ( root, )
These are being implemented right now for backup
Eligible products that come with at least 1 backup slot have auto-backup set at provisioning..
Backups are at an off-site location and not in the Oradea Datacenter.
What would be the frequency of that task? Daily/weekly/monthly/only-at-install? I did not saw anything about that besides the "on/off" button available on the root disk in the panel. To restore, is it via ticket? The root diks restore won't "format" the storage diks, nah? Thanks!
Is the iso mount/custom install fix already done / in the roadmap?
I am not asking this to know when I can b0rk my root diks repartitioning it and asking for the restore

This was also done like a few moths ago
Was there a change made to backups for the pioneer servers? Mine used to have backups in the control panel menu for the boot drive but doesn't anymore, I think maybe you mentioned something a few months ago but can't find it
Frequencie is set to 1 / week on Saturday midnight. This can be edited by the user anytime or changed.
Restore works from user panel. uou can even access individual files from the backup.
This option as I said, it is available only on products that have Backup Available for all drives, as restoring only the Boot Drive is not possible for the moment, it is a limitation of Proxmox, as restore is basically deleting the VPS then redoing it from the backup. If you do not have backup on all drives, restore will be done without those and you will loos the data.
This is the reason we took backup out of products that had it active only on the boot drive as it was unusable in that configuration.
For products that have it on all drives, it works as expected.

This should also been fixed as of today.
We did not see any issues regarding power tasks done by users.
Thanks! I've gone and mounted the ubuntu server iso and changed boot order (ouch! this REBOOTS the VM, beware!) to convert my ext4 root diks to btrfs as wanted, and it worked like a charm.
Just this move already solved my diks space needs for now, as I have gained 2GB in diks free. Sometime in the future I may try to reinstall it just because I don't have backups

Happy to her that this solved 1 issue at least.
We will implement Revolut Payment Gateway, most probably on Monday, and we will also add Euro Currency next week.
