Nobody provides support on Facebook. As for their twitter account: https://twitter.com/online_fr
The order page is in French, which Google Chrome translates well. However they have English section for their control panel. They reply in English too.
What do you mean?
thanks for heads up.
i mean, if anyone can post reviews about them regarding support. U know any similar provider like this?
I am using one of their servers myself this month. However I'll be moving away from them since I got a better deal at OVH.
I've never needed to contact Online.net support for any issues. They have a good control panel for automatic free reinstalls. They have automated additional IPv4 failover orders. When I contacted them regarding IPv4, 3/4 times it was answered in 4 hours. The 4th time it took 3 days.
Thanks for the honest review! Does OVH sells to Indian People!?
Everything except the Kimsufis.
Alright Thanks!
We can do the following:
Dual Quad Core
8GB RAM
1 x 1TB Drive
/29 IPv4 + IPv6 Available
5TB BW on a gig port
KVMoIP + Remote Reboot Included
$85/Mo in Coventry, UK.

A little off topic but I guess might be useful.
Encoding using x264, especially if you are using avisynth as a frame server, the performance of a single core is much more important than the number of cores or threads.
If you will be using the basic filters like deinterlace (i.e. QTGMC) and denoise (i.e. MDegrain) you'll encounter severe performance problem on a low frequency (or outdated model) dual hex-core server. Because avisynth is designed as single-threaded pipeline model.
And if you don't use these filters, you can actually do your encoding under Linux environment as x264 can eat source videos directly.
No filters needed! I'll be using Handbrake! Thanks for jumping in.
How about learning x264 command line under Linux, and save a bunch of licence money and encoding time? :lol
OMG! How about encoding time? B/C time is a bigger constraint than money! Can you help me out! Pretty please?
If you're still looking, I would check out these: http://chromobyte.com/bds
They will be available Monday or Tuesday of this week.
Since most encoders on Windows use avisynth more or less, if you switch to use the internal decoder inside x264 (say x264-tmod), you'll save lots of CPU cycles to copy the frames from avisynth to the encoder memory space.
Also if you are able to do encoding under Linux, you'll benefit a lot if you know how to use Makefile and other automatic tools. You even can write scripts to upload the final file after it's completed.
My eyes!
Are there alternatives to filters used in AviSynth when in encoding purely through linux. I usually use .avs file as input in x264.exe when encoding on my home PC.

+9EUR for windows server 2008
Starting at around double his maximum acceptable budget, how is that an option?
@joelgm I read a budget between $75-$85/month which my link fits in to.
That's weird. I could have sworn that earlier I saw something starting at $140. My bad..
Datashack's cheapest Intel server is the i3 2100, out of stock but is $59/mo. For $5 you can get the i3 3220 that meets your specifications and is in stock.
As far as support goes datashack is far superior to volume drive, and is still fairly inexpensive.
@joelgm Indeed you did. Those are our higher end E3 dedicated servers. Anyway, no worries...now you know : )
x264 has some common filters like crop, resize, yadif, etc. If you use some advanced filters like QTGMC, you can wait for a full port from avisynth to vapoursynth.
thanks one and all.
Perhaps online.net and/or seflow.it can match your needs. I use servers from both.
However, if you have no experience with dedicated servers, I'd suggest starting from easily rebuildable VPS such as from DigitalOcean and make sure you can secure it.
Another options would be hiring a sysadmin to set it up/maintain.
