P.S. I almost forgot to mention how they amazingly talk to you, feeling for you and making you understand, all in English. I mean I got my info following oles on twitter and trying to translate what he posts on the forum, not my fault I was not born French, I am sorry, maybe pretty soon they will add that condition also, the 'users' need to speak or learn French before ordering.

I've never heard that I can dictate a US company to write in my domestic language just because I am in a different country than the company. Why should that then be the case with other countries and companies?

@ska I ordered over OVH.DE which is the german TLD and I want announcements in German or at least English. But not French ...

The fact they dont allow resale and limit per capita means they are doing it at a loss, even if not now since space is free, more or less, but soon.

This is the Great Kimsufi Mystery. Apparently, worth writing a thriller about that.
Definitely they think they can afford that many low-end computers that could only return investment in a decade or more.

However, the mystery is what will they do with the horde of low-end users, the majority of which won't buy anything else.

Let's wait and enjoy the show.

Someone I know just got his KS 2G. He paid using Paypal on the 25th and his payment was confirmed on the 25th as well. However, he's been a OVH customer for some time and they had his ID on file since he's using OVH VOIP as well. If that makes a difference I don't know.

Maybe they're doing it to create a longer term market position by getting in early and taking up as many customers as possible?

If you really ordered using ovh.de, then you get announcements in German. You just need to be able to understand German then and use the German mailinglist and forum besides the fact that you get German support.

It's funny how OVH support told me to send them scans of my ID,CC and a utility bill within 24 hours, it's been 19 hours and nobody contacted me about it and my payment is still on the manual check.
