Hi DigitalDaz,
No it wasn't. I do have the invoice.

just received a new email from SYS;

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am afraid there is nothing further we can do here as this is a beta server. I can see my colleague has reopened it for 5 days so you can retrieve your data.

If there is anything else please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind Regards,
Tom

Dear Customer,


Your server ns318830.ip-37-187-229.eu is currently hosted at OVH.

Our system has detected that your server has expired in spite of
the reminders that we have sent you.
Your server will thus be suspended within the next few minutes.

To reactivate the server, all you need to do is:

1) Go to:
https://eu.soyoustart.com/fr/cgi-bin...-37-187-229.eu

2) Make the payment using one of the suggested payment methods.

An invoice will be sent to you shortly confirming the renewal of your server for the chosen duration.


If you simply forgot, we recommend activating automatic server renewal via the Control Panel. This feature is free and it will save from having to worry about forgetting to renew again. Naturally, automatic renewal does not involve any obligations and you can disable it at any time.


IMPORTANT:
==========
If you don't renew your server within 5 days, it will PERMANENTLY shut down. All your disks will then be permanently wiped to ensure the confidentiality of your data and consequently, it will not be possible to recover any data.



ABOUT YOUR IPs:
===================
Some IPs and/or IP blocks are currently routed to your server.
If you don't renew it, your IPs will also be deleted.
If you want to keep them, you can move them to another server owned by you, before the permanent shutdown of ns318830.ip-37-187-229.eu.

Here is the list of your affected IPs and/or IP blocks:

Again, at the time I ordered the server there was nothing indicating that the server was for temporary use.
See what marks says on this thread; https://forum.ovh.co.uk/showthread.p...w-game-servers
"yes, it's possible now to keep the Game Servers as long as you want."
date: 07-04-2015, 16:54

No warnings were given before the suspension. I checked spam folders etc theres nothing.

This is enough bs for me, I give up.
Thank you for the support everyone.

7 months later on 1 May 2015 game servers were OUT OF BETA. They were renewable so I moved my server to a GAME 1 server and have been using it since.

Was this an informal arrangement or do you have an invoice for that new non-beta server?

[Kurt]

Thank you for the support guys.

this is from their own staff;

yes, it's possible now to keep the Game Servers as long as you want.

The Beta is still kept just to show that they haven't been tested enough to make sure that there is no driver issues with that hardware. Any issue, please report.

Thanks and enjoy!

This has been OVH since 2013, making up and change the rules as they go along.

I thought that the new CEO would've improve OVH by now, sadly, we are not seeing any.

[Careimages]

Sys need to explain why they suddenly claimed the game server was in beta, when as the OP said the beta period ended months ago and there's now nothing on the website about beta or any restrictions. It doesn't make sense.

[Criot]

Not really much that can be done in regards to your data, the server would of been completely wiped by the automated system not long after it was cancelled.

The main lesson you should however learn is that backups are very much a necessity.

[Kurt]

Dear Customer,

An email was effectively sent the 12th November at 02:38 PM inviting you to make your backups.

Unfortunately, it will not be possible to reopen your server and to get back your files as your server is already cancelled.

If you want another server, I invite you to order a new server from our website https://www.soyoustart.com/fr/serveurs-game/ or https://www.ovh.com/fr/serveurs_dedies/game/

Now they are lying, no emails were sent

Seems like a total ****-up. I'd hope very much that you get your server back with an apology and compensation.

Hello everyone, here is my story. On 14 October 2014 I got my first server from Soyoustart, it was a 16G E3-1225v2 server. What I really wanted was a game server but it was in beta phase. You couldn't renew these servers.

This is what it looked like back then
https://web.archive.org/web/20140724...e/game-servers

7 months later on 1 May 2015 game servers were OUT OF BETA. They were renewable so I moved my server to a GAME 1 server and have been using it since.

At the beginning of this month, even though i have auto payment option enabled the server wasnt renewed therefore it was suspended. I thought there was an issue with my credit card so I asked SYS support to try charging my credit card again.

The response was;

and 6 minutes later it was suspended again.

1 hour later i recieved this e-mail;

Dear customer,

An email indicating the end of the beta period concerning your GAME server has been sent to you, that's why it is not renewed.

You will not be able to get back this server as the beta is closed and it not possible to renew these servers.

As the email indicating the end of the beta, I invite you to order a new server from our website https://www.soyoustart.com/fr/serveurs-game/ or https://www.ovh.com/fr/serveurs_dedies/game/

The beta is closed therefore I am not able to renew my server. Is this a joke?
Beta phase was over months ago!

My server was suspended without a warning, I couldn't get a backup. I lost my server, I lost my files.
Ive been a loyal customer of ovh for years and this is what i get. I feel betrayed.

Thanks for reading.
