The DEDIBOX® LT is only a bit more and has double the RAM and more guaranteed premium bandwidth, though they have said the guaranteed bandwidth is just marketing as you get a 1gbps connection rather than being capped to that speed

[ebony]

ebony: With the personal range it is only "on demand" meaning they manually hook it via talking to support.

ya saw that but i was looking at the

DEDIBOX® CLASSIC + GEN2 its only 8gb of ram but i ordered one anyway had it about 1 week with proxmox on it and have to say network not been down yet the speed to the net seems fast. Don't think ill be getting a new sys server. Ram is nice but the cost is to much to run projects that i don't make a lot of money on.

I was lucky i got one the £3 KS so ill be staying with OVH for that. its cheep backup space. (unless i lose this server like i did with the ks16 as i could not pay it! And no billing support.

[Vmlweb]

So it turns out the solution to turnover is...

Suspend dedicated servers for several months in order to get rid of a large proportion of customers.
Then once the server offers resurface theres a much smaller number of customers to deal with.

Problem solved?

[TheBritoid]

this reminds me of the last time OVH decided to add setup fees just to remove them a few months later. History repeating itself

One more anti-customer practice from OVH and I'm jumping ship. Over the last year they've increased prices, removed features, changed rules and given no warning on it other than Oles's Twitter, which if you don't speak French, you can't read.

85+VAT setup fee on a 12 month pre-paid server is hilarious.

Indeed, why on earth charge it on a 12 month subscription. Its a bloody joke to have it on a month, never mind 12.

[Kacotet]

85+VAT setup fee on a 12 month pre-paid server is hilarious.

[soyouthink]

Prices still better then other companies. New grouping idea actually better and cheaper then previous grouping-ranges especially for pro usage. And i found setup fees useful because less turnover and less tickets with lame question means better support for others.

Was waiting for better a option to get Virtual Rack and Private network and now I love the Infrastructure group.

[Daraiko]

You can order 1 failover IP if you want to, yes (basic package). And Proxmox VE 3.1 is available for installation.

Very nice, thankyou Myatu

[Myatu]

I can report the 120 second delivery time is not a myth... IT LIVES!

Either that, or with the age-long "Sold Out" period they've just kept building and installing servers to fill the racks, which would explain the limited server options now on offer (which in turn translates into "we knew all along what the plan was, but wanted to test your patience").

[Myatu]

Anyone know if the two personal range servers: "SC Gen2" and "SC L" have:
1 iP for the server + 1 Failover (at €1,99/m)
included in the basic package?
* To use with proxmox

Come on guys... lets stop just looking at the negatives and start looking at the positives of the new range! Oh, there are none... nothing to see here move on :-)

[cartwright118]

Hmm ...

I'm tempted to order a FS-8T with the software raid5. (It has 2 x 4 TB)
Rather like the very pushy salesman in Currys who tried to push an anti virus package on me when I bought an Acer One with Linpus Linux pre installed.
I told him if he could install it while I waited, I would buy it

Last one to leave, please turn oul the lights.

[AdamD]

...yikes, is all I can say.
The servers are on par, price wise, with higher priced providers, who actually provide support to their clients, with timely responses to problems.
Unless there's a fundamental change in the support policy, I can't see a reason for people to buy these expensive servers.

[Ollie_]

Uhmm, judging by SoYouStart the mSP's have now doubled in price?

Am I missing something here? Previously they were € 40.99 a month and now there's a setup fee of € 49.99

????

[incipient]

What's going on, it looks like all dedicated servers less than £41 are discontinued?
This seems drastic after the £2.50 dedi server for all philosophy you guys were touting.

[S0phie]

Will so you start servers be available in North America? Also, if we live in the US and order a server In NA do we have to pay VAT?

I would suggest you to contact our North American team instead: https://forum.ovh.us/

[K.Kode]

I had one when they first came out in that spec, started good then the throughput was up and down like a yo-yo. I let it go after a month.

Ahh, I take some of that back, you need business service level (extra 23.92 euros a month) to upgrade to 1Gbit RPN, the rest stands though

[TheGeekster]

The RPN stuff does look good, it's 2.38 euros/mo per server to upgrade the private network to gigabit and the RPN-RSYNC offers look really interesting, plus RPN-SAN storage is 23.91 euros a month for 1TB vs ovh £59.99/mo for 1TB NAS.

The only thing putting me off is the small 120GB SSD's

Could try contacting them, see if they have any larger SSD drives they could do, always worth an ask.

(Sorry OVH but yeah, you disappointed once again with soyoustart.co.uk not starting before December.)

looks like its time to move as well online.net does look good!

I lost my 16g KS (dual raid) due to a billing like no help from ovh at all, i did not think billing would be done on the forums as that be nuts,,,,,, seems i was wrong.

but the one ip and one ipv6 bugged me anyway so lost really.


and the free KVM sounds great!

anyone know how they deal with windows install's?

I have the equivalent to the KS16G with online.net, works perfectly, no problems, supports good, faster network, even a FREE PRIVATE LAN BETWEEN SERVERS WHICH IS AMAZEBALLZ.

I know its not online.net, but I have installed it at Hetzner a few times now and currently run two hosts and had no problems. Although it says it's not supported, but then with OVH as soon as you mention a VM is slow,.. they go... it's a VM problem we don't support that :-)

thx for testing K.Kode

I got much better speed to OVH now.
And a little better at home, ranging from 2-7 MB/s (i have a 140 Mbit download home connection)
Jumps a lot.

If anyone else have already purchased one for testing etc, please give some feedback as to the general usage speeds

Too bad the small Dedibox SC Gen2 is sold out atm..
Would have liked to try one, and get a feel for Online.net

Maybe i will order an "SC L" instead, and use it instead of the KS-4G i have now. I use it mainly for VZDump backups over NFS.

[K.Kode]

Was ok to DE/NL

[Daraiko]

Online.net does not look half bad!
Anyone tested the actual speed you get with these servers?

The 600mb test file was pretty crappy!
Used wget to my OVH server: started ok, got slow, and failed a few times.., and very slow to my home connection..
I have only tried once! Will try later and see if there is any difference

What about SoYouStart for IPMI/KVM?

The new OVH ranges are extremely confusing, and I thought they couldn't get any more confusing.

So Kimsufi is now SYS and OVH got rid of all of their plans on OVH that competed with Kimsufi?

It is all very well putting setup fees on all servers to reduce turnover, but reducing turnover and driving customers away to the competition are not the same thing.

If you wanted an mSP alternative what about the Pro 32G?
http://www.online.net/en/dedicated-s...w-professional

Its only about £20 more then the mSP but has double the bandwidth at 400Mbps and an extra 2TB storage

[Phixion]

I have to admit, the setup prices just completely put me off ordering any other servers. To me it is daylight robbery charging more than the servers value to "setup" a server - which we all know is basically pressing a button, if that.

I wouldn't mind a £25 setup fee, but £50? Crazy money.

[Tz-OVH]

Its a business decision, they have their reasons that we're not privy too. At most being end-users, we go to whichever provider suits us best I suppose.

I would prefer to naturally stay at OVH, but there's no offer out there in the KS-16G price range anymore. While attempting to reduce turnover, they never said that they won't have any offering in the mid-range price bracket. Disappointed.

I have to agree, this is looking more and more just like an excuse to raise prices across the board, their competitors look much better now.

This could't have been the result from the recent questionnaires, surely? I didn't take part in them by choice, so not sure what exactly had been asked. But I have a feeling that once again, Oleon completely ignored things... And this has become par for the norm.

[NeddySeagoon]

I see that my price/performance ratio is getting worse with time.
Features I paid for originally (because they added value to me) have been removed.
I'm only hanging aroud to see what OVH do for existing customers, my reading of the French pages suggests it will be nothing, in which case the best information on these forums for the last three months has been OVH compeditor websites.

OVH no longer stand out from the crowd and have a poor/terrible support reputation. Luckily, I have not needed hardware support yet.
Why would I stay with OVH?
Why would I buy a new server at OVH?

The only reason I have is inertia ... and thats not good enough.

[Tz-OVH]

I have to admit oles/OVH, you've left a lot of us now seeking an alternative with your recent moves. You've literally priced us out of using any of your options. I'm sure there are quite a few of us in this boat too.

While I am OK with the setup fee (it could be 25GBP...a reasonable amount), since it does force people to keep a server longer, the raising of prices across the board seem like an illogical solution to reduce server turnover.

I know I am actively looking at LW as my first alternative, I might have to settle for slightly lower specs, but at least they've been consistent all throughout.

[makno]

this whole thing made me lol so hard i think i need a fresh pair of pants!

So first Oles goes all nuts and oversell cheap server to attract new costumers which cannot be accomodated and in the process alienates the existing ones.

Than for various months noone is able to get a new server.

To top that, people that wants to get a new server has to go through questioning as if you were a know drug lord trying to cross the border after arriving on a plane from Bolivia.

Now the icing on the cake, put the prices up so noone will want to come to OVH.

Sure enough there should not be any issues with turnover from now on.

[shadow]

OVH must still offer the kimsufi range and continue to offer cheap servers, otherwise, OVH is utterly pointless to a lot of people I know.

[Moose]

http://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/kimsufi_16g.xml that is the server that needs to stay.

Ahh reading up http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showthread.ph...uStart-com-SYS now I see whats happening look at the french version of SYS guys thats where the £20-40 servers are.

Thanks, but as far as I can see thats only the equivalent of the old 2G and 4G, not the 16G, I can't see anywhere a way to buy the older 16G (or equivalent), all their new servers start at £40, the 16G was £20

The 16G was £35.99, which is about what the new SYS will be.

[Edit]
I think you're actually talking about the 16G from when OVH went full retard. Don't expect a return to those prices. They were too cheap.

there'sthe 'PS' range, same as Kimsufi in concept. the prices in here are for a different range all together

This seems a good point, are the Kimsufi's gone forever, for example I wanted a KS 16G, are those ever returning at the original prices ?
You do seem to have raised the prices massively

"Would it save you a lot of time if I just gave up and went mad now?" Sorry OVH allow me to point you in the direction of your £3.34/mo Kimsufi server that you just released but decided not to allow anyone to have, so just when you decided to make servers dirt cheap you are doing the biggest U turn in history and only having expensive ones?

Starting at 81 euros? Oh boy
A super budget provider, charging premium prices, not usually a good combination.

That entire post should have started with "Queue Benny Hill theme!" and some canned laughs the end of every sentence. Honestly...

As stated here: http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showthread.ph...noon!!!!/page6

Both websites will be launched early next week. I left the prices in €, I'll update them shortly!

What about SYS? We need to be able to move our existing IPs to these servers, otherwise you have priced us out of OVH. Also this says OVH.co.uk 2014, but the prices are all in Euros, is the UK last, again?

€82 is a lot for a entry level server, unless you are going 'premium', but there is not much evidence of OVH being a 'premium' provider at the moment.

Hello,

The long-awaited 2014 range is coming.

First: Thank you

Thank you to all our customers who have continued to trust us during the "Sold Out" period. Thank you also for having participated in all the discussions about the end of the "Sold Out" and ideas that we've tried to gather in this new range of servers.

We hope that the results of these two months of work will meet your expectations. We are very happy to get out from this period of reflection and questioning for the new business plan to find why we are here :

To provide infrastructure for your projects.

Many changes. It will probably take 10 minutes before entering into the logic of the 2014 range to enjoy all the power of this new range.

Do not hesitate to ask us to clarify some details if needed.

Here is a summary to take in hand the new range in less than 15 minutes.

The logic
------------
We have split the servers between "no option" on SYS and "added value" servers at OVH.

At OVH you have "all inclusive" servers, ready to use for 3 types of uses: Enterprise, Hosting and Infrastructure. You can customize the hardware and some features.

We removed "professional use".

Servers are "all inclusive" at OVH and start from €81.99/month for the 3 ranges.

Purpose
--------
3 server ranges for 3 purposes. This segmentation is not strict, ie you can use the server for another usage "if it's better"

3 purposes:

*Enterprise:
- WEB , Email, Intranet, Extranet
- Collaborative Tools
- Big server to "do everything"

*Hosting
- Hosting platform
- Virtualization
- Server pooling

*Infrastructure
- Multi-datacentre Private network
- The virtual rack alias vRack (c)
- Tailored-made server

Technically speaking, we can distinguish 3 ranges by saying that for the same server price you have the choice between:
- Enterprise with "2 x more RAM"
- Hosting with "Free IP Failover"
- Infrastructure with "private / vrack network"

IPs
------
We've simplified everything .

On Business / Hosting / Infrastructure, you have the public network. On this public network you can point 16 FO IPs + 256 RIPE IPs.

16 FO IPs cost €1.99 per IP per month - FO IP unit ( / 32)
- Small RIPE IP blocks (IP 4/8/16 )

For the following 256 IPs, it is wholesale RIPE IP blocks (IP 32/64/128/256 ) and it costs €0.99/IP/month.

Except for Hosting servers where the 16 IP FOs are free (instead of €1.99/IP ) and depending on the type of Hosting server 1/2/4 RIPE IPs out of 32 IPs are also free instead of €0.99/month. To summarise : ( 16IPs + 32IPs ) or ( 64IPs + 16IPs ) or ( 16IPs+ 128IPs ) provided with the server "all inclusive" .

On Infrastructure , you have the vRack on the private network. You can enable routing in the router and vrack absolutely anything you want. There is no limit on the number of IP FO units ( / 32) or on the IPE IP block. The cost is €0.99/IP/month .

Hardware
--------
- The server hardware is Customisable
- RAID SOFT default option:
- RAID HARD
- Hybrid RAID SOFT
- Hybrid RAID HARD
- On OVH / Infrastructure / HG optional
In addition to RAID / Hard you can personalise
- The CPU
- RAM

Many customers have contacted us to make an order during the "Sold Out" period . We've contacted again by giving a token to order before everyone else . The 24H "sunrise" period.
From Friday we will reopen the orders to everyone and start delivering high volume .

The installation costs are €99 / €199 / €299 according to the range of servers . They will evolve over time to regulate the turnover.

Note :
- EG -32 with vrack from €81.99 p/m
- SP -64 4 cores / 8 threads with 64GB to €81.99 p/m
- The HOST servers with AMD Opteron 6c/8c/16c
- SP -256 2xE5 - 2670v2 (20 cores/24 threads) for €299 p/m
- The E5- 16xxv2 (version 2) and E5- 26xxv2 (version 2) range which is 30% more powerful than the present range (compared to the same model number) . example:
E5- 1620v2 is 30% more powerful than E5 -1620
E5- 1650v2 is 30% more powerful than E5 -1650
E5- 2650v2 = E5-2670
- The Big- HG going perfectly for the job of Big Data with the new Intel Xeon
E5- 2687Wv2 (16 cores/40 threads)
E5- 2690v2 (20 cores/40 threads)
E5- 2697v2 (24 cores/48 threads) are able to take up to 36 disks of 4TB SAS

Servers will start to be delivered from tomorrow / day after tomorrow.
Shipping time is 120 seconds and custom servers are aimed for 4 Hours.

In late January, SP- 512, 256 and HOST- HOST- 512 is expected if we are asked for them

Please give us your feedback and thank you again for your patience.

All the best
