This is their new product even though most of the features are almost not what we wanted. Not sure how much more they are going to invest for further improvement.
Some of us here has been tested since last week and noticed multiple flaws.
Good to test
1 EUR per month (up to 12 months) on EU deployments only
For me it is still possible to deploy in the US and Singapore locations without incurring extra cost (by using Cloudstack, not the extranet).
I have some benchmarks of all the locations (excluding France since deployment is broken)
Amsterdam
Singapore
Frankfurt
Miami
For me all the CPUs were E5520 except Miami which was E5-2643 v3. Maybe I just got lucky.
@moni099878 Unfortunately, a lot of of Chinese users, especially in low end providers, are causing problems to providers with unreasonable chargebacks, unrealistic demands and expectations, disputes just because they want to test services etc. Your people has created a very bad name in industry when comes to cheap low end services. Maybe it is the cultural and language barrier, but many providers that do not have been specialized in providing services to Chinese, think such customers are PITA.
I am a client of Ikoula since 2015. never had issues with their panel, never had issues with support, never had issues with my server even if it is a really low priced (an offer of €11 for a X3440, unbeatable offer then). it is up since my last format (344 days on) and with good connectivity.
There is still no reason to suspend the account.
Probably get E5-2667v4 or Gold 6134 at FR, DE.
I dont get how to deploy and use the special pricing. Is there a specific compute offering (plan)? None list the promo name.
Just ordered one, to test, it says promo is limited to euro zones, so tried NL, it said error 533 something, tried 10 times, still same error, then tried the France one, it creates a machine here, but it always hung at status of starting, it never starts, it just sits there, tried multiple times, i don't know how a company would launch such a thing
€9.99 for that specs?
I am talking generally about this:
As of your suspension, the only thing you provided as information here is that you claim they suspended you without a reason.
How do you know that they suspended lot of accounts and without a reason? Did you open a ticket to ask them? Did you make a dispute - chargeback? I don't claim you are in bad here, but I really do not trust "reviews" with no info at all and claims like "I don't work with a french provider anymore"...
Not to mention 9/10 IP's scanning / exploiting are from china botnets.
This is a prejudice,Sir. You won't know how expensive Chinese IPs and Chinese VPSs are. So few people use Chinese vps to scan IPs. In fact, most of the IP scans I have captured come from the US because of the low cost . ( I dont mean the man behind are American but how can you prove the man behind are Chinese ?)

Can we please get over that China <--> EU conflict and focus on the actual quality of services provided by iKoula? Maybe @moni099878 can create his own drama thread. Those are in demand right now as I haven't seen a good drama since Dewlance
They go overboard IMO. My leaseweb Singapore vpn IP gets 403d too.
I have not used the Paypal dispute. And I did't get refund. Don't care. Anyway, only 1 eur, I just want to explain how bad the service of iKoula is.
I didn't pay attention to it since I bought it. Until I received this email, I found out that my account no longer exists.
I tried to recover my password, but my username is blank. I can't login.
I also tried NL. Seems to be full? I do not know. However tho it says limited to one legal entity it seems I can buy that promotion multiple times?!
But I just want one to test. Idm my 12 bucks + vat
actually plenty of negative reviews already. only people causing drama is shrills. In this thread alone people are having problem creating instances for their plan. This company is a joke. Offers cloud service that is not created when you buy the plan but than errors when you try to create/use it. control panel continues to reset the language which is a complaint for years. Creates error when you try to create a ticket... What cloud provider has these problems continuously that is not resolved for weeks.
Wow, you're such a cunning chap, you sure gamed the system. Btw expect your invoice in a week or two, for "over-limit resource usage". I had to pay 0.01 EUR on a separate invoice for trying Singapore for a few minutes.
And yeah the panel is terrible, CPU is oversold, there's no IPv6, bandwidth is Cogent, no DDoS migration, and you don't even get the advertised 1.7 GB of RAM;
Oh and also OLD NEWS this is active since a month by now.
No, almost US providers don't tolerate for that type of spam/scan, however, Chinese providers do. I confirm that 90% of scan/DDOS come to my servers (about 200 servers) are from China.
I was scratching my head about this too. Does this happen on aws Xen 1.7gb instances ?
Do they want ID for signing up or it's just providing a card to pay with and that's it?
How dare you compare the cheap and reliable Aruba with Ikoula? In my opinion a single Euro is better spent with Aruba. It's not fair to make such comparison.
Before saying something like this about a product: Buy it, bench it, test it, use it and monitor it a bit, and then make such comparisons.
Just need a card or a paypal account.
Hello,
Would you mind give me more details by PM ? You should not be blocked with a @web.de email address.
Before commenting read what I linked.

Hey @ikoula, do you mind addressing the other issues people mentioned in this thread? Like for example:
I'd like you to address these issue separately... Or will you dare to answer a selection of questions like you just did with my ticket? I also got a new question for you: why do you block ICMP by default and you don't clearly state that? There is no fucking way an average Joe would know how to unblock it using your control panel. To start off an average Joe wouldn't even know WHICH control panel to use. I have strong feeling that 95% of LET has no idea what are the individual ICMP types and codes. Hell - I didn't even know them and I probably wouldn't even know them to this day if not you.
Oh, one more thing I remembered. There is not just "no IPv6", you cannot even use 6to4 or tunnelbroker.net, because there is no concept of "protocol 41" in the firewall panel. You can only block/unblock TCP/UDP/ICMP. So there is truly, completely, entirely, no any kind of IPv6.
Please @iKoula fix my account. I can't order for the second time.
hmm, how do you route the external IP to the server?
How do you what the what to the what? I guess you got into cloudstack to set up VMs? Just use the "BASIC" variant of the zones, it has public IPs assigned directly on the VPS.
