Thanks for getting back to me, I thought this may be the case, but was hoping to break free of the usual cycle of cancelling a server to get features available new servers.

After all the debate of last year, there still seems little incentive to keep existing servers when new ones are introduced.

Well it works .

Used up 170 bonus points, got a free UK IP on an old server. Seeing as we are paying more than most people now, it seems fair. (And our prices got bumped twice)

So far so good .

Thanks OVH.

Unfortunately this has been the case for a quite a few months now. Pretty ridiculous. When I first ordered the server I could have up to 32 IPs. Not quite half way there and can't add any more, but at least they're now free. That's £17/mo off my bill.

I have one failover, which still seems to be there, although managerv3 can't see it, but the max was 3 and OVH said old Kimsufi's could keep failovers.

However my OVH 2012 Server now seems to get IPs at the €2 setup fee rate.

I just wish OVH would stop changing the IP policy every single week!

Yep, they're still active. I also got an email from Danny in support:

IP is now free with your servers, they are not required to be renewed. When you renew your server, all IP associated with the server will be renewed as well.

This means you only renew server only and the IP will remain active.

Are your IP's still active? If I loose my IPs due to this OVH can kiss my *** and the tens of thousands I spent with them goodbye.

At least now we have developments which could be seen as good by some.

what about the cost of IP's for the mSP servers? When I renew, they are £0.84 excl. VAT (so just over £1) will this remain at the same price at £0.84 excl. VAT?

what about the cost of the pro usage in my above example?

I'm still waiting for support to clarify why the system was attempting to charge me over £20 for the 9th failover that I'm entitled to (part of that price was for pro usage I'm told). Hopefully as I already have 8 failovers they won't try to charge me anything additional on a monthly basis (pro usage)...

512 IP limit on SYS range but 256 on OVH?

I think we may be part of the OVH Roulette Wheel Beta cycle. Did you successfully order one before this?

crowarth
02-04-2014, 16:24
That's what I get as well, previously I could order 3. Now I can order none. I thought the idea was that we could have an amount depending on the cost of the server (so in this case, 3)

e: interestingly enough, my mSP has changed slightly when it comes to ordering IP's. I can now order 1, 4, 8, or 16. Before it was only 1.

Strangely this morning my servers were showing the option of ordering 3 IPs each, now this afternoon when i come to order one they are showing

"You have reached the limit for IPs that can be ordered for this service."

Is this a temporary thing that anyone else is getting?

This appears to now be live - I can order 3 IP failovers on my KS2G that run for the duration of the server (1st July in my case), and after a quick call, it appears that when i renew that server, I won't pay the cost for the IP as by that point I'd have already paid the initial setup fee (£2.04/IP):

Select the duration:
Until 1 July 2014 : £ 1.70 excl. VAT (£ 2.04 incl. VAT)

However ... Trying to purchase another IP for my mSP 2013 server, the old manager (v3) doesn't have anything in the dropdown box after you select the 'location' for the IP address. I should have 3 + 6 from the IP Fidelity scheme (so 9 in total (currently using 8)). I tried this in the new manager panel, and it will let me purchase a new IP but it costs:

Select the duration:
Until 1 May 2014 : £ 16.49 excl. VAT (£ 19.79 incl. VAT)

What worries me now is that I have 8 failovers currently routed to my server. Worst case they'll charge the £2 renewal/IP next billing and after that I won't pay any more. Or, they'll try and charge me for professional use...

Defintly a good move, and one in the right direction.

However id like to know a bit more information, if I currently have an OVH 2014 server non-hosting.

Any IP's I currently have a pay for will they become free?

Can we add the "pro" onto a SYS server we already own before this was offered.

Please simplify what you're trying to say here. You're really encouraging me to jump ship due to the confusing pricing.
I bet you that you need to cancel your server and re-order new range the same they did in 2013, new rules don't apply for old customer as all loyal customers with old servers are stuffed.

Hello,

We are continuing to develop the KS, SYS and OVH products and service with strong differentiation between these 3 brands.

On KS, we will include X Failover IPs with each server. X will depend on the price of the server.
For example if your server costs €10/month, you will be entitled to 5 Failover IPs with your server with nothing extra to pay.
However, you cannot have 6 FO IPs. It's 5 max and included in the price.

On SYS, we receive requests for many FO IPs for each server. So we're adding the "PRO use" concept which costs €10/month.
With "PRO use", you are entitled to 16 prefixes per server.
A "prefix" is a /32 (1 IPs), a /31 (2 IPs), /30 (4 IPs), /29 (8 IPs), /28 (16 IPs) and /27 (32 IPs).
So you can have 16 x /32 (thus 16 IPs per server) until 16 x /27 (thus 512 IPs per server).
The IPs cost €2 to €1/month (according to the size of the /).

On OVH, we noticed a great commercial success with the Hosting range where FO IPs are free.
So we decided to offer the same thing on the entire 2014 range of OVH servers, meaning that FO IPs cost €2 setup fees then €0/month.
The limitation is 64 prefixes per server.

On the Hosting range, we will include in the price of the server:
cPanel, Plesk, Windows, as well as all licences for paid distributions that can be included in these offers.

On OVH for the customers < the 2014 range:
- if the servers costs €69/month or +, they come with the same advantages
only for the 2014 range: FO IPs at €0/month.
- if the server costs < €69/month (the 2013, 2012, 2011 mSPs etc.)
the rules are the same as for SYS, i.e. no change except when better in terms of the number of servers.

Split/Join

We are authorising the splitting of /(31-24) in /32 and the joining of /32 in /(31-24).
There's a cost element which must be taken into account, as to get FO IPs at €0/month, EACH IP must be configured on a server.
If in the month, one FO IP was not configured on a server for 1 second, it would have been placed in the IP "car park" and invoiced at +€2/month/IP. The car park is for when you want to keep the IP but without using it.

You must therefore bear in mind the concept of 16 (SYS) and 64 (OVH) prefixes per server. This means that if you have a /28 in only 1 block, you have 16 IPs in 1 prefix. If you split it in /32, you suddenly change 1 prefix into 16 prefixes.

In some cases you won't have enough place on your server to configure all the FO IPs and your IP will be placed in the car park.
There is no consequence other than the charge of +€2/month/IP and you'll even be able to think about having an "old" server with 64 prefixes available for less than paying €128/month IP on the car park.

Technical

Some old customers will say that all this was offered by OVH until 2012/2013 and that we're going backwards.
We are in fact able to offer splitting/joining of IPs again with 160K servers and +, because technology is evolving and we're integrating it in our datacentres.

We have made large investments in the datacentre routers. On GRA, SBG and BHS, the new routers are being launched and all existing customers will be migrated onto these new routers in the next 4 to 6 weeks. On RBX, the existing routers have the capacity to run for another 18/24 months without problem but we have decided to change them gradually. On RBX1 the migration starts in 2 weeks.

We also will integrate new 40G and 100G routers but they don't exist yet. We're working with Cisco, Juniper and Arista to approve the solutions they can offer us and we're not rushing this. There are many great things under development and which will only arrive as of September 2014. Then we will be able to have routers to support our growth, with a number of 40G/100G ports per linecard and per chassis and with 2M+ routes. And the next 10 years will go smoothly.

Timing

We expect to finish everything by the end of March and to start launching these changes from April 1st.

It's no joke!

Regards,

Octave
