Server I paid for did not work for the 3 days I bought it for. I forgot about it and when I asked for a refund they could not help me because the server was already deactivated. Servers should be functional as soon as you pay for it. gportal server did not work and I will not trust their service again
Despite my trouble and want for a refund, they were still quick to respond and very kind. Respectable customer support.
I’d like to thank "Nicholas" from Support—you’re a legend for the time and great help you provided regarding the payment for my server purchase.
If you happen to deal with this guy in support, he’ll definitely help you out. Big thanks again, Nicholas! :)

It seems to run the game I'm hosting just fine - but their ftp craps out so much it's ridiculous. FTP is really simple. They've moved us servers twice to try and fix problem A or problem B, then moved it for whatever their reasons were two separate times on top of that. In about two months. That's ridiculous, and every single time it causes problems for trying to get all the places the server is advertised updated to the new IP address. When I put a ticket in asking about it they threw a "ip isn't static" response and said nothing. I specifically asked about frequency and they don't address it.
Really upset I paid for a year and it's horrible service.
Edit after their response: I've already gone through a large number of tickets about this and their customer service was just awful. I'm not interested in another round of that. If they want to be disingenuous and call it a bad review and force it down, that would go with their experience so far but hopefully they have some integrity and accept they earned a bad review. I'll be generous and up it to two stars though. When the server IS running, at least it's good. The saddest thing will be when I leave this service there's still going to be over 8 months on the table. Can't do 2 IP changes in less than 2 weeks.

Edit to original.
I recently moved locations and needed to switch my server to a closer region due to high latency. I still have 120 days (4 months) of prepaid time left on my active server and the team at G-portal was able to help me remedy the situation I found myself in get me back into our setup with little delay.
G-poral has one of the better customer support sections around and will continue to recommend them as they seem to genuinely care about their

I purchased a Farming Simulator 25 server from GPORTAL and had nothing but problems from the start.
Initially, the server suffered from severe hardware lag that caused constant rubber banding and made it miserable to play. Support's solution was to move me to different hardware, which they did twice before the lag was finally resolved.
Unfortunately, that just exposed the next problem. The server would randomly crash after running for a while. There were no logs on the Farming Simulator side indicating what was happening. I opened another support ticket, and once again their only solution was to move me to different hardware. The crashes continued exactly as before.
After spending more time troubleshooting than actually playing, I requested a refund for a server that barely functioned during the time I had it. That request was flat out denied.
What frustrates me the most is that GPORTAL likes to claim there is "no trace" of these issues whenever someone leaves negative feedback. To avoid that excuse, here is my customer number that documented every issue I reported: 1358767
After I left this review, GPORTAL's "Director Global Support & Head of Support" reached out to personally review my case. Only then, and only after the statutory withdrawal period had expired, did they offer a refund. Not because the service failed, but as a "gesture of goodwill" after my negative review. The refund was never an option when I first asked for it, when I actually needed it.
I cannot recommend GPORTAL based on my experience. I paid for a server that spent more time lagging, crashing, and being moved between hardware than actually working. When it became clear the service wasn't reliable, they refused to refund a product that never performed as advertised. It only became negotiable once my feedback was public.

I have been a satisfied customer at G-Portal for several years now, and the support has always been fantastic. sebastian.g. is an absolute standout and has been doing a phenomenal job for years.
I recently had a rather tricky technical issue with the core and branch allocation on my Rust servers. Even though they were extremely busy with other releases, he dedicated himself to the issue, built a custom script, and got everything running perfectly.
You can really tell that he knows his stuff and consistently provides reliable help. Thank you so much to Sebastian for the years of great support, and to G-Portal for providing such a strong service! Absolutely recommended!

Beeing with g Portal for 8 years now, never had issues

Longtime customer, finally done. My Palworld server crashed every few hours for six straight days. The only fix GPortal offered was "move you to new hardware" — which they did repeatedly, each time changing my IP and port and forcing me to re-coordinate my whole community, and each time it went right back to crashing.
Support is slow (multiple 10+ hour waits) and clearly not reading their own tickets — one rep asked me to authorize a hardware move and create a backup that a previous rep had already done and documented earlier in the same thread. Six days in, nobody could tell me what their logs actually said.
The kicker: I moved to another host and instantly went from ~11-12 FPS to 61 on the same world. That's not a mystery bug — the servers are starved for resources. If you run anything that needs steady performance, look elsewhere.

Been using G-Portal for quite a few years now running my Farming Simulator PC servers, I swapped to them from another provider due to the ease of everything, the prices and the big seller for me was that they have an option for 25gb storage for mod space, since Farming Simulator mods and maps file sizes can be big sometimes

I've been using G-Portal for Ark: Survival Evolved and Minecraft for over 5 years & have always had fantastic customer service with them. In general they're super quick to answer tickets. I assume they've been absolutely swamped with tickets this weekend due to the Palworld 1.0 launch so I paid for a fast-track support ticket (something like $2.00 I think). I got a reply and had my issue fixed within 20 minutes by ned. Thank you G-Portal for being amazing as always!!
