That's pretty retarded by the way, to cancel your order, and after that take your money. I am pretty sure this is also against VISA / MasterCard policies. A merchant shouldn't capture a transaction if he doesn't intend to deliver the goods/services.
@rds100 Up for a blog post and emailing to VISA/MasterCard ?
You can just use HAProxy to NAT your ipv4. Cloudflare does not provide fixed ipv6 to your server, it will change according to visitor's region, and it is only a reverse proxy in front of your server, so cloudflare won't work.
@xset nah, first i am not a native English speaker, second they haven't even bothered to take my money yet.
Couldn't agree more. But since they took the money via Paypal, they have to confirm the payment in order to be able to refund it.

The 1 EUR price increase on "the 2.99 EUR server" has been confirmed:
@sundaymouse haproxy or varnish;)
@ska no, they can deny (Void) the payment (Authorization) instead of confirm (Capture) it.
Here is explantion from PayPal how this works - http://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/ebook/PP_ExpressCheckout_IntegrationGuide/HowAuthCaptureWorks.html
@rm_ this increase is for the filtering, or unrelated?
Are we talking about different states here? As I understood the case, they already accepted the payment via Paypal before they cancelled the order within their ordering-system. Then, in their own payment-system, they confirmed the paymant in order to be able to refund it so that is in line with bookkeeping law.
Officially it's for the DDoS filtering, but seeing how you can not opt-out from it, and how the benefits are theoretical at best, might as well say "unrelated"
@rm_ but shouldn't it be +1.5 EUR if it's for the filtering?
No, Kimsufi was announced at +1€.
@ska thanks. For some reason i thought it would be +1.5EUR for the KS line. It seems i was wrong, the forum post says it will be +1EUR.
I hope they won't add 1€ to OVH.de too, we already have to pay 3,99€ there ...
Can anyone confirm this? Is there any way at the moment to get a console into the system if say, the OS is not booting. (Not rescue mode.)
Where can you find those plans? On OVH?
That is including VAT?
Nah, excluding
I had to pay 11,96 for 3 months.
Rescue mode is only available from mSP and up. KS does not have a rescue mode.
Yes, the German 3,99€ include 19% VAT.
11,96/3 ~ 3,99. So VAT is already included there.
Embarrassing. Sorry, yeah it's included. But we have to pay a bit more anyway : 3,35€/month but tha'ts not that much
Willkommen in Deutschland.
that is only 30 cents more a month than I do so it isnt tuat bad.
OMG! this offer is damn cheap ,i cant believe it , i'd love order one 2gig plan ,
Do they accept order from malaysia ? if i place order from ovh.ie ?
and how long does it take for server setup ?
Can we send only photo id ? or shall we need send utility bill too ?
im not greedy , i wish i could order one plan :P
Did you miss the part where they said "this offer is for EU only"
Seems so.
For Kimsufis, no.
i already saw that statement in bottom of this page:
hxxp://www.ovh.ie/dedicated_servers/kimsufi.xml
"Exclusively available for residents of the European Union only. "
i wish they could offer for non-Eu customer too .
They probably will eventually, I think they are just too overwhelmed by the demand so far and so have limited it to EU only. Once things calm down I'll bet they will offer it to customers elsewhere again.
