thats what remote hands is used for .. where the heck are you ( which country)?


I am looking at the max distance between UK and FR but I cant believe they are so distant.

By providing our own hardware ( we could buy it online and ship it directly to OVH DC and they could just place it in the rack and take a pic after installment together with IPīs and so on) we could make more profit from each server. They would still get their money per month ( as we would be paying electric+bandwidth+ ambient cooling + and the other expenses they have plus the additional fraction they get for providing the service) and we can use maybe the same amount of bandwidth you use in a kimmy and place many more customers per server..

its a win win situation ( they win and we win)

*Feels speshul*

Lets get a 1Gbit line, and share that though 125MB/s is 310TB per month lol

And of course, my original question needs confirmation that DedicatedPros is right - as well as 'where did business bw go?'
[In a God-like tone]I'm always right MUAHAHA

It would be a shame if they stopped offering it, I'd like to get my very own dedicated 100Mbit line some day

OVH tells me: 213.125.85.38 is TRANSIT traffic, via OVH->ISP1->ISP2->ISP3->END

I input a new IP: 83.149.80.111
OVH's machines calculate some other stuff (while I wish I had a 2nd cookie.)
OVH tells me: 83.149.80.111 is PEERING traffic, via OVH->AMSIX->LEASEWEB->END

Should be fairly easy do to, right? Just have some poor intern copy down a list of all IP routes and whether they are peering or transit

This way, I can better judge my traffic requirements etc both before and after server purchase.
I will put that in as feedback maybe we can do something, however if the packets go outside weather.ovh.net then they will be onto our transit providers, so the unmetered series is for if all your users are within Europe.

The new servers won't affect your infrastructure, the 3 old servers will share the 200Mbit connection while your new server will get 100Mbps (low priority transit).

Idk about the business bandwith, though I'd like some updates on this as well.

I have three OVH SP's from before this last change - that is to say: they share 200mbps bandwidth.

If I now purchase another SP Mini '09, it comes with 100mbit unlimited traffic - (but low priority on transit links)...

Does getting an SP '09 affect the 3 previous servers?
Will I have 4 servers sharing 200mbit?
Or will I have 3 sharing 200mbit, with the 4th being on its own low-priority 100mbit?



Second question: What happened to the option of purchasing 100mbit of business bandwidth? (It was like 250eur/mo for the SP Mini)
