we will propose it. next week. with the new offers and the
resellers plans ... I decided to propose to UK the same that
we will propose to DE/PL.
OK, that's fantastic news. Hopefully you will raise the limit or remove it totally as 2 servers a month isn't much and not many people can afford to pay 12 months in advance for third server under your current system

Looking forward to next week.

Regards,

Yeah I ordered one the other day, payment went through but never got the server details - when I got in touch they told me that I'd already ordered my limit.

I think it would be better if OVH had a system where they actually told us if a server can't be ordered rather than just taking the money and waiting for the customer to get in touch.

The is a fantastic idea as some people do expand and require servers on a monthly basis.

We got stung last month when we ordered our third server without realizing there was a limitation of two per month. I have never heard of anything like this before from any other data center.

The worst thing about it is that orders do go through as normal and you only find out a few days later that you cannot purchase the server and must wait for next month or pay 12 months upfront which is ridiculous.

Please at least make the limit higher at like 5 to 10 a month or totally remove it, and I understand if KIMI servers are not included in this change.

Thanks in advance.

Well the Kimsufis are cheap so I can see someone ordering a bunch, doing some nasty stuff and then leaving OVH with a bunch of servers they might not need.

At last a little freedom, but don't you think people will want to resell the kimsufi's more than the other servers?

The Limitation of 2 Servers Per Month (English Translation)

Hello,
Currently you are entitled to order a maximum of 2 servers per month while enjoying monthly payment and without setup fees.
This limit allows us to manage growth, always have servers available in 1 hour and avoid the risk of selling customers too many servers with no contract (leaving us with all the risk).
Basically this limit allows us to go peacefully and deliver you 5000-6000 servers per month.

We're now looking at how we could remove this limit and more importantly go beyond 5000-6000 servers sold per month.
After a lot of reflection, statistics, planning, risk assessment, etc etc, we think we can do away with the limit on the SuperPlan, EG, MG and HG ranges.
Thus you can propose to rent a couple of dozen servers for 'pro activities' reselling (Web hosting, email, VPS).
The Kimsufi will certainly remain, as today, limited at 2 servers per month.

I will give myself 10 days to make the decision

Kind Regards
Octave

Bonjour,
Actuellement, vous avez droit de commander au maximum 2 serveurs par mois
tout en profitant de paiement mensuel et sans les frais d'installation.
Cette limite nous permet de gerer la croissance, d'avoir toujours de
serveurs en 1 heure et eviter le risque de vendre de serveurs à des
clients qui voudraient faire les activités trop risquées sans prendre
aucun risque (ou en voulant passer le risque sur ovh). En gros, cette
limitation nous permet d'aller tranquilement et vous livrer 5000-6000
serveurs par mois.

Nous sommes en train de regarder comment on pourrait vous proposer une
limite plus importante et donc d'aller au dela de 5000-6000 serveurs
par mois. Apres pas mal de reflexion, les statistiques, les planning,
les risques, etc etc, on pense pouvoir debrider les commandes dans
les gammes SP, EG, MG et HG. Ainsi, proposer de vous louer d'un coup
plusieurs dizaines de serveurs PRO pour les activités de reselling
(l'hébergement WEB, l'email, le VPS). Par contre, au niveau de Kimsufi
on va certainement rester comme aujourd'hui sur 2 serveurs par mois.

On va se donner encore une 10ène de jours pour prendre la decision.

Amicalement
Octave
