Any good host will have a AUP and TOS policy which clearly states all terms to using their service and should be unique to their standards in Server Hosting. Any legitimate business really requires this. Well at least in the US they do or its terms for getting your business shutdown and LLC revoked. The AUP and TOS should clearly state something in regards to their Refund policy. Although i believe it is a legit claim that hosting providers should put this info in posts. It is ultimately up the the person ordering the service to make sure one of these two things exist, otherwise no one is to blame but the purchaser. Sure you can make a claim that it is poor business tactics, but you should have done your research before investing in a company with poor ethics and business habits.

When spoken to some moderators / staff about this I was told 24/48 hours was enough time for someone to test out the provider services which is not very acceptable and not true at all 24/48 hours isn't enough for someone to test a provider services having a 24/48 hour refund policy is another other way someone to scam there socall clients.

The refund policy wasn't the only thing I wasn't finding some providers had missing Terms Of Services, Privacy Policy, and Lack of Contact Information.
If it is a VPS service I can understand your complaint; however, Dedicateds, refunds should not really be given because the company you buy hosting from should have a name you can trust. Idk if you were looking for cheap and your eyes got tunnel vision or it was expensive and not what you expected but fee from refunds on dedicated servers can get quite pricey. You should really do your research on where they are providing service from and get all the info you can before purchasing from someone. Its like going in the store to pick out clothing. Are you going to buy something cheap with wholes, or do you want to get your moneys worth and at least get something that will last.
