1. Never heard of a server move from one datacenter to another, so they will surely say no.
2. Servers payment is per full month, so, if you cancel it before the end of your period, you are throwing away the remaining days. Most probable they will tell you the same.
3. As I said, you get the server on the location you choose; if you choose "The fastest delivery time in Europe", you will get your server in any of OVH datacenters in FR based on availability. If you order a new server, make sure to select the correct location. If it's not available, it's because there's no stock of that server on that location, so may not be able to order it.



Just to make it clear, the DDOS is not a firewall, it just filter some traffic patterns. Are you sure the attack was network-based? Maybe it was application based, where the real impact was on an application that became unavailable for a while because it could not handle the load.

No it is not layer 7

It is layer 4 UDP most of the time & sometimes TCP

The support team didn't respond from yesterday.. I'm now stuck

1- They will move my server to another location or not ? if so this is good to hear
2- They gonna refund my rest days if I cancel my current server or not ? the auto renewal is on the same day of receiving the new server ( I paid before that 3~4 days ago) which is enough to have the server & move the files and cancel the server at the end of the month before the next month renewal
3- If no.1 is refused to move my server should I cancel and refund and stick with my server & get DDOS and my client pissed off until a new server available in RBX ?
OR should I move to this new server in GRA and cancel my current server & refund the rest of days until another MC-32 appear in RBX and cancel the GRA and re-order this in RBX and setup the server again & again & again .... ?

I really don't know what to do now

My current server in RBX and the ping (latency) around ~87ms for my location via PIng(ICMP) but when I test this via http://rbx.proof.ovh.net/ in the same time shows ~99ms and the http://sbg.proof.ovh.net/ ~88ms but GRA is the worst ~110ms

The support created incident ticket started in 4/8/2015 regard DDOS that bypass the firewall and hit my server hard enough to make all my clients have connection lost and until today it is not solved and told me to upgrade & I request to make it in RBX, the support told me he will check for RBX for me but unfortunately the worst datacenter for me GRA highest ping which is not good for game servers

Hello,

I see that you have logged an incident ticket with our technical team. I see that your latest correspondence with them was relating to stock levels for the MC-32 server. I would like to advise that the incident ticket was a technical ticket and our incident team do not have stock levels for those servers.

I am looking into stock levels for that server and I will contact you as soon as possible.

1- I have a request from you sir, My current server renewal in 31/8/2015 and the new server MC-32 will be delivered in 10 days in OVH order page, Is it possible to pay only the days that I use my current server until I switch to MC-32 once it is available?
2- Also in order datacenter I choose Western Europe (Roubaix, Gravelines) I want my server in "Roubaix" Datacenter because it is less in Ping for my worldwide clients ( most of our clients is in middle east e.g. Saudi Arabia)

I have already sent this message to Mr.Octave Klaba in his twitter as message to verify this

Best Regards

I hide the OVH support name (****** ) for the public ... only administrator can ask me if I have to do it

I'm in trust with these words .. so I'm waiting his respond to move my server to the datacenter that I request from him before I get the server

Regards

If you have Anti-DDoS PRO i suggest you create custom firewall rules to block the type of attack you're seeing, that's what a lot of users do and hence why PRO is more beneficial, the OVH standard configuration can't block every attack.

I know what to do my friend, I have closed all ports except the ports that I authorize to connect to it, and of course permanent mitigation is enabled by the way...

For your second point, OVH Game range doesn't offer a choice between RBX and GRA, it's marked as 'Western Europe' which is GRA and RBX, so you'll get setup in one of those two, you don't and can't choose specifically which.

For the other points, it is extremely difficult to understand what you're referring to, what problem are you having exactly?

Regarding number 2, when you place the order you have one or more options to select datacenter. Sometimes, you only get the option "The fastest delivery time in Europe", which will automatically assign your order to the first datacenter where your requested server model is available, among all datacenters in GRA, RBX, and SBG. Sometimes you do get specific datacenter locations as options; in such case, your order will be assigned to the first datacenter at that location which can handle your order.

Here are the links for the OVH speed tests. You can also try running ping to these addresses, as each one is exclusively located at an specific datacenter.

Hello

My NIC-Handle : AA408181-OVH

I have issues:
1- My problem not solved about DDOS and moved to MC-32
Game Range
2- I received the server (MC-32) but unfortunately not expected datacenter (RBX) as I request and thus I ping the
server & gives me higher ping that the current server
~20ms difference ( it is located in GRA & I want RBX Roubaix) If you can recommended me or make me test a RBX or SBG for better ping (latency) I will be appreciate it


3- I paid via the auto renewal my current server (SP-64 2013 ) for a month because I wait from 4/8/2015 to move my server to
the suggested (MC-32) Game Anti DDOS server & without
solving my current incident ticket

I have much work to do ( moving & setup the server myself)
& I really need your assistance to fix the above 3 Issues,
i want my server (MC-32) to move to the best datacenter
that is lowest ping for me & my clients lived in Middle
East countries & I want
only to pay for 1 week for this current server
(SP-64 2013 ) until my files moved to their
without paying that 1 month ( refund 3 month & pay for 1
week) also I'm a customer for many months here & I was a
customer in SYS about 6 months and moved because of DDOS
to OVH

So I'm over 12 months in both OVH & SYS ranges upgrading
all the time for best anti ddos



Please Help !
Best Regards
