So happy since you did this, we have order the AMD 32Gig, the xeon i7 24gig, and about 10 kimsufi servers + more to come, done wonders for reselling!

Go OVH!

[Razakel]

Just to be clear, is it just an additional £1? Because we already pay vat when we order kimsufi (£2.80) so just wondering if we are paying just £1 or another vat on top?

No, like all OVH prices it's £1 + VAT, so £1.20.

[outlaw]

Yea i noticed that, I'd rather pay £1+ vat per ip per month then a high price setup fee

It looks like they charge for Failover ip's on Kimsufi servers, previously they gave 3 free. RIPE ip's aint cheap either.

[DanM248]

wow no setup fee's

Now is this staying or going after a little while?

If setup fees are gone for good, I'll be defo starting my business with them

I remember when the whole Internet had just 100,000 nodes.

I must be getting old

[RichardWnl]

It seems there is a backlog on servers parts, it seems they are missing some Hardware RAID cards. So waiting for over 5 days now for multiple MidGrade servers

[AdamD]

Oh I see, well that's good then.

[Myatu]

The setup fees are gone, pending their PCI DSS certification (if it hasn't already). That way they can store CC details and have better control over charges.

[AdamD]

Nice offer indeed, perhaps OVH should use this time to reflect on the prices charged for setup fees

Instead of having one setup fee for all low/midrange servers, tier the fee to the monthly cost of the server.

I too, have ordered a Kimsufi, the £14.99 a month one, as a test server, but I probably would've got a vps elsewhere, if the setup fee was still £49.99

[RichardWnl]

Some HG models have free setup.

Yes I saw it.. that's awesome.

[Razakel]

No. HG servers have fees associated with them.

ALL servers have free setup at the moment. You can find out if you add it to the basket and then checkout.

[jonlewi5]

Is yours setup yet? am waiting too!

Yeah I got mine the day after I ordered it, more or less exactly 24 hours :-)

[yonatan]

I am trying to figure out how to utilize 24GB of ram now .. lol
Replaced an old AMD with 16GB ( which was using 12gb~ish of ram for it's SQL ) with the EG bestof ...

what about the HG servers?, these are the only servers i really WANT to have ... anything on setup fee for them?? :\ 15% is not a good deal if the setup costs 3X from the monthly server price.

[DanM248]

Still waiting, its like waiting for xmas hahaha

Is yours setup yet? am waiting too!

[lewis4490]

I'm betting re-sellers are having a field day stocking up.

Why not though :P - I think set ups just kill it, but then ovh servers are worth it in my eyes

[Tz-OVH]

[NickW]

Mine's just been delivered . Think I'll wait for CentOS 6 before using it though.

Edit: i5-2400 Sandy Bridge CPU rather than the Nehalem. Very happy .

[lewis4490]

Ah good stuff

I'd also like to know if the setups have gone for good!

Setups are a killer tbh!

[robw]

How long?


We end the introduction of PCIDSS and should be
better able to manage the turnover through the
automated payment, you order a service at OVH
then when you do not want to renew you click
to let us know. That way you know you can resume
the server to the expiration date of the server.
That's what happens with PCIDSS

I have absolutely no idea what that means. Is the setup fee removal permanent or not? Or don't we know?

Awesome news either way. No reason not to upgrade my C-250G to one of the new ones. Although I do have a good CPU in the C-250G... Hmm, decisions decisions...

[jonlewi5]

id be really interested to hear what kind of sales you have been getting since removing the setup fee?

[jonlewi5]

Have you got the server yet? It says 7 Day availability here

not yet,


* To do 1 £0.00 £0.00
Setup fee
* To do 1 £0.00 £0.00

thems the only things left to do.

[Dan321]

[DanM248]

Well at least 3000 are illegal

[Winit]

100k, would love to know the legit vs illegal usage in that figure #justcurious

Who cares?

Welcome to 2011.

Have just ordered a Kimsufi 16G to make sure I don't miss out . Will be replacing a £34.99 SP Mini.

[NickW]

Permanent setup fee removal?

Good news for now either way .

[Andy]

Excellent I have a few friends who are buying their free setup servers right now.

[oles@ovh.net]

Hello,
That's it! We have surpassed the
100,000 dedicated servers hosted in our
data centers. It is a round number that is
interesting to remember when you are asked
"OVH, you know?" "Yeah yeah I was there
when they have exceeded 100,000 servers
2011 "... In short, we are happy
to host these servers for you.

How would we celebrate this?

We cut out the setup fee on
dedicated servers, VPS, and the PCC
phone? Go! Let us be fools again! we
live once! That's it. There is
more at OVH then setup fees.

How long?

In a few days we'll continue the OVH party by testing U.S.
and Canadian markets. We will offer them a few thousand
servers (5000) to see what US / CA customers needs are.
We will understand fully what OVH can offer and what is wrong.

In short, the OVH party is likely to continue and we will not pull any punches ..

Sincerely
Octave

PS. We stop the cost of installing ADSL / SDSL within 10 days. Time to
put the gamma version of the tenders.
