In that price range, I think a KS-1 would be a much better choice.
Agreed. Plus, it's not that hard to get OpenBSD running on a KS-1.
So if I've understood correctly, I can just let the kidéchire expire on the first of June, and I won't get automatically billed for any replacement servers?
That would appear to be the case. I've opened a ticket asking what offer they can give me to replace mine.
Too sad, I also receive that email.
Got my email today. I put in a support ticket to see if the IP can be moved or used as a fail over for a XC deal I had. Their response was "It is unfortunetly not possible to keep the IP."
Got it too... sad day indeed.
I'm replacing mine with cociu 1TB storage VPS https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/112647/let-s-continue-with-the-estern-spirit-pre-order-cheap-vps-storage-servers-located-in-romania
Got the dreaded email, decided to give the SC a go anyway. I have two Kidéchires, so will probably consolidate down to one with the extra disk.
Any idea how long the seedbox install takes to run? Let it go for 90 minutes and it did not finish.
Mine is finally on the chopping block too. Guess I'll just go open a ticket with lots of French profanities. The benefits of taking high school French.
Maybe you got one with the bad disk speeds. If the install ever finishes check your disk with
dd bs=1M count=512 if=/dev/zero of=/root/test conv=fdatasync; rm /root/test. Some servers have it as low as 5 MB/sec.No, it didn't finish at all. Trying a basic Ubunter server install now, if that fails I will demand a working server.
Wow....they said the servers would be terminated on May 1st. I assumed they meant UTC time.
They cut my kidéchire on Apr 30, 23:00 UTC. I was hoping to get my last images of my servers on 23:30 UTC and shutting them off myself.
Well, good bye Dedibox kidéchire. It was great while it lasted.
Well, they have been cut off at 01.05.2017 00:16:17 CET, thats fine.
Online is based in Europe, so CET counts and not UTC.
Crap. Forgot that CET is UTC+2...
Scaleway.
You had a f*cking month to do this, ffs.
Oh and now demand a refound that they scammed you out of 0.0013 EUR for those 30 minutes of the server.
Mine's on the block for termination now.
Fuck Online.net
@rm_:
Dude. Where did you read that I was looking for a refund?
I just stated I was hoping to get one last backup 30 mins before they closed the server. I already have a backup from 8 hours previous.
Then I admitted that I screwed up the timezone and it was my fault for missing my last window for my last backup.
WTF man?? Why the anger?
Point is you waited for the last 30 minutes of a month to do your backups, AND you bring it up on a forum publicly AND in the form of some complaint to be leveled against the company -- that's truly beyond words.
"...GET ONE LAST BACKUP 30 MINS BEFORE THEY CLOSED THE SERVER..." as in I already had a backup but just wanted to get all the metrics up until the last possible minute of existence of the servers. Then I wanted to wipe them myself.
When I noticed that they shutdown the servers before the deadline, I wanted to inform everyone of that possibility. Then I noticed that I stupidly forgot to compensate for CET=UTC+2.
I wasn't crying because "boo-hoo, I didn't get any backups and it's online's fault..". They had no fault. I made a timezone mistake and you decided to blow it out of proportion.
Why are you so worked up? When in last 3 years since I've been on this forum have you ever seen me rank and rave?
Always make backups, ALWAYS.
but he did, 8 hours before the server expired, he just wanted to do another on the last moment. Are you guys even reading the posts properly?
Bah I think I forgot to remove the Dedibox SC 2016 from my account... Annoying...
Any good alternatives to the Kidechaire (on both specs and price)? I use it for a cheap and nasty email server.
On a side note I still have access to my Kidechaire's via SSH (although they're not longer in my Online.net control panel...)
Interesting, it seems they have set up a 503 page on mine:
http://195.154.97.125/
I remember seeing this when my server was in rescue mode.
Kidechire wasn't a product, it was a freebie, so it will be hard to find anything comparable as a regular offer. If you want a dedi, try a KS1 or a Scaleway C1 or the digicube.fr low end Atom thing. Otherwise use a vps.

1.
something given without charge or cost, as a ticket to a performance or sports event or a free sample at a store:
Happened to a friend of mine too, he didn't realize they provided two servers at almost four times the cost. They won't refund him and now he's going to file a chargeback. That's probably going to cost them more than the refund... I don't understand these fuckers.
