Any suggestions for working windows templates to be used on i5 w 16gb rams? Its been a long time I used something from oodle. Thanks!
Someone posted earlier in the thread that someone who was using them decided to let them all go due to being pissed at OVH. There were several hundred servers dropped.

Wow, that might explain the upswing in Hetzner auction server prices too. I mean what happens if you browse to hetzner.de and try to order 750 servers? Can you tell how many of those cancelled servers were KS3C's? And I wonder if that guy expects Hetzner to not also cancel servers used for phishing, lol.
Given the prices in the site there i think 100
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to say '£40.. for that!?'
and OVH gave a fucking shit about, just dropped all boxes back into the system again and they were gone after only some hours. setup fee to regain some costs and don't care about the rest...
so after all even a client with some hundreds of their cheap-boxes going to cancel won't have much of their interest. which leaves us at revenue != margin. those products are there to generate traction and hopefully make customers grow and increase their spending on products OVH some times earns from.
My guess would be more likely they are lucky someone blocking that amount of their marketing machines finally let go of them... retaliation went wrong. ;-)
Why did they pawn them off at those promo prices if people were willing to pay more for them? They list them now at 17 euro which fits into their overall range.
one can only guess... marketing budget.
I do believe those servers are planned for marketing and to attract customers and it just stays that way. good for them to have the opportunity again to have some new clients to try their services out... or something like that.
they simply don't care about single servers or euros. they most probably think in bigger bunches and budgets. so if they decide to invest one million into cheap boxes to have user play with, their interest would be to have as much people as possible to play around and hopefully generate traction with this.
I think they don't really care about revenue or even margin on those. the money is more likely some kind of low barrier against fraud or whatever.
But were there any quantity limits for buyers? Any attempt to entice new customers? I wonder if they just got a bunch of LET cheapskates and opportunistic resellers
.
I see your point, but they probably rely heavily on automation in all this processes.
filter manually will involve too much work as does limiting. people will try to circumvent anyways.
I imagine something like one person/higher department decides: let's do a flash sale to attract customers, do we get a budget? yes. how big is it? big. okay, let's produce 2000 boxes.
/presses some buttons/ -> lower departments like purchase or production begin to work. after the boxes are produced and racked marketing does a campaign.
after the boxes are first sold everyone forgets about and they become part of the matrix, doomed to run as they are til the rest of their lifespan. set and forget.
chance to resale of cancelled servers during the lifespan only adds to the attraction, as it ends in a race... some kind of viral marketing with all that monitoring scripts and such to get one of that precious thingies.
after six month or a year some people higher up might run some statistics on the numbers of clients, conversion rate, traffic, abuse, hardware performance and maybe even ROI ...
I'd expect they can automate the usual cases. "One per customer" isn't rocket science. As another example, Vultr limits its new $2.50/m servers to 2 per customer.
If you want Windows Server 2012 R2, you can use my template:
wget -O- ‘http://images.myhken.com/KS2012R21new.gz’ | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sdaUsername: Administrator Password: Password147Just to remember that you change the password right away after you get RDC access. I have tested it and it only takes less then a hour before someone have access if you keep the old password.
Windows Server 2016 is not working on Kimsufi because the network card.
It should have been for the cloud.
Personally, I have never dealt with phishing. And Me blocked the account through which the customer bought through my server IP and drove in SpamHaus. But that's another story.
Hetzner called and offered a 50% discount on the installation, as long as it is not bought older tariffs are without installation bundles.
We are resellers in the CIS. Created 40 hosting sites in the CIS and through OVH servers sold. OVH even made donate 2,500 euros for the creation of site RU: http://hostsuki.info/post/43309029414/
These i5, 750 servers were supposed to be under a cloud. But their anti-DDoS blocked clean requests. https://hostsuki.pro/pro/bolshaya-rasprodazha-kimsufi.html
The document list of google docs full servers. kimsufi.sale even registered the domain to sell some. kimsufi.sale domain took OVH and issued to the employee of his.
We write statistics. And abuse and server performance too. Even all the statistics about the DDoS on different DC.
Sorry they treated you poorly; thanks for the machines, though!
lucky... got i5-3570S CPU, 1.5 years ago
with a 3 month old HDD to start as well.
so this offer was available because you canceled bulk servers, right?
i wonder if kimsufi will offer ks3c special again in the future...
The Online SC 2016 is a readily available and slightly cheaper (9 euro/m) alternative if you don't mind the 20 euro setup fee.
Yes. All data centers so when they go to wholesale customers to hundreds of servers.
From the screenshots he posted he cancelled the servers back in November, so OVH held onto all of them until now, why? It was by a long shot not an instant sale right after cancellation, so it's hard to argue that cancellation was solely the reason for the sale.
The server I got was on your list.
Well damn. After all the tests i get this reply.
Our admins did not find any problems yet.
Can you please reboot your server to rescue mode so they can check that issue directly from your server?
Same for me, they don't find any problem. Weird as many of us experience this slow download speed.
They say they'll keep on investigating though.
There was a KS-1 briefly in France about 10 minutes ago.
If you're after a KS1, use check.ovh. Works like a charm.
That's a good secondary resource for the automated checkers. I already have two running OBSD nameservers. Want to get rid of them soon, because the network is just a little bit too slow.
3570s or 2300?

It is possible to install server 2016 on Kimsufi. You just need to create your own template and install the correct network drivers. I'm currently running server 2016 on the i5 w 16gb ram I got.
@CoffeeBeans what driver did you use? A link?
So I can update my 2016 template for KS.
There are really no Server 2016 driver for Intel 82579V NIC that are used in the i5 servers.
I have tried the different drivers from this page:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/52963/Intel-82579V-Gigabit-Ethernet-PHY
So either you have a link to another driver, or you are not telling the truth.
Whoa whoa, deal of the month..
