Elfhosted is the best!

I am using Comet with Debridge and Plexio, they have made my Stremio setup work flawlessly and have provided excellent support when I had an issue during setup

Great Setup process

BSM as my Wizard on discord was amazing! They answered all my questions, and set my service up and configured everything with all my needs in mind and just how I wanted it. Great service! Thank you truly!

Switching to this setup was a total…

Switching to this setup was a total breath of fresh air. It completely takes the headache out of streaming by bundling all the essential services into a single, seamless package; no tedious self-hosting or juggling multiple subscriptions required. Setup takes seconds, source routing is rock-solid with zero buffering, and having everything managed under one roof makes it an absolute no-brainer.

I though Debridge was a gimmick.

I've been using ElfHosted for quite some time and it's quite simply the best tool around. When Debridge came out I dismissed it as a gimmick, but recently I tried it to satisfy my skepticism. Absolute game changer, how can a service that's already great be even better? I don't know how, but it is and I won't go back. It's nice to be proven wrong sometimes.

Customer service via discord has always been top notch and quick, so there's no complaints there either.

Very happy with ElfHosted.

Disappointed

Fix billing error because I lost a prepaid month when changing plans. Then got frustrated and cancelled. At that point I got email saying service will stay active but it did not.

Edit: Elf support did what they could

Hey, apologies for the frustration, this wasn't intentional or malicious, likely just a bug. If you create a support ticket per https://docs.elfhosted.com/get-help/, our team will set it right.
