Russian background and questionable reputation: FoxCloud users face VPS blockages and difficulties with refunds

FoxCloud – is a cloud hosting structure with a formally registered legal entity, but with an extremely controversial reputation, where the number of complaints, abuse reports, and negative reviews significantly outweighs the company’s official statements.

As a legal entity, FoxCloud LLP is registered in the United Kingdom under the number OC389771: this is a standard scheme for Russian and post-Soviet projects – registration with Companies House provides a «European facade», but according to clients and technical aggregators, the operational activities are conducted through infrastructure in other jurisdictions.

On its websites, FoxCloud advertises a wide range of services: VPS and dedicated servers, IaaS cloud with hourly billing, virtual hosting, domains, SSL certificates, backup, and administration. Payment details are also published: Russian bank accounts and legal entities through which billing is conducted are listed. Formally, everything looks like a typical budget hosting provider.

The problem is that FoxCloud’s real reputation is shaped not by marketing promises, but by user feedback and the state of their networks. On review platforms about hosting (on English-language sites), FOXCLOUD’s rating is quite weak – on one platform, 66% of users gave it 1 star.

On Trustpilot and other platforms, a significant portion of comments are negative: people complain about poor VPS quality, instability, lack of support, and especially about situations where servers were disconnected without warning, and money was not refunded.

Typical complaints: a client purchases a VPS, tries to use it for VPN or some very basic workload, and after a few hours, the server is blocked «for violating rules», after which refund requests are denied. There are stories where users called FoxCloud «scammers», having lost $10–20 – small amounts, but characteristic of companies that rely on quick turnover and an impersonal stream of clients.

On one Russian-language review forum, it is mentioned that after paying for servers «for VPN» (likely VPS for VPN), the server was blocked, and they refused to refund the money. The user believes they were «simply scammed». Additionally, users complained about «constant blocks and server shutdowns» (allegedly due to «abuse», «load issues», «rule violations»), even if their projects were entirely ordinary. There are also complaints about tech support taking a long time to respond; promises of «free site migration/support» are perceived as fiction. There are also stories where a client signed up for a promotional low-price plan, but upon renewal, they were billed a much higher amount without prior notice.

The negative feedback is supported by technical data: FoxCloud’s subnet, particularly the range 185.92.73.0/24, appears in AbuseIPDB with dozens and hundreds of complaints. These are reports of brute-force attacks, anomalous network activity, and attempts to hack SSH and mail servers.

For a serious provider, such «subnet dirtiness» is an alarming signal: it indicates either a poorly moderated client base or the use of infrastructure as a proxy platform for unscrupulous activities.

Several journalistic investigations over the past year suggest that FoxCloud servers may have been used to bypass sanctions, for pro-Kremlin media platforms, and shadowy VPN chains. These materials are primarily based on OSINT, IP scanning, and domain correlation, so they do not have the legal status of «proof of fraud», but they create a highly concerning overall picture.

At the same time, there are also formally «mitigating» signals. Some systems, such as Scamalytics, assess FoxCloud’s fraud-risk as low; Companies House has not issued warnings or opened administrative cases; no court decisions against FoxCloud are found in public access.

This suggests that the company operates in a gray area but does not cross the line where official sanctions begin. A typical explanation for such cases is «legal shell plus aggressive and unscrupulous operational model»: the provider operates, accepts payments, provides services, but at the same time easily blocks clients, does not refund money, fails to keep servers clean, and resolves any dispute by referring to the terms of use.

In conclusion, FoxCloud cannot be called a classic «scam» in the legal sense – it is not a disappearing one-day company or a fake website without a legal entity. However, the actual risks are high: unstable services, weak support, a huge number of abuse reports, complaints about server shutdowns and refund denials, as well as mentions in OSINT investigations about problematic network activity.

For any critical tasks, commercial projects, financial services, or infrastructure requiring reputational protection, FoxCloud is objectively a risky choice. This is a case where the provider formally exists, but based on a combination of factors, operates in a «cheap, fast, and no guarantees» format, with all risks entirely shifted to the client.
