Buying back/transfer ownership of YOUR OVH VPS in SG/APAC.
Hey there,
As the title implies I am interested in buying back/transfering ownership of YOUR OVH VPS in Singapore.
As far as I am aware they have discontinued the sale of these VPS in the Singapore datacenter, so transfering ownership seems to be the only option here.
Before raising any eyebrows, as far as I am aware; transfering ownership of an OVH service from an OVH client to another OVH client is perfectly legal and permitted/authorized in the terms of service.
Of course I will "tip" you through PayPal, please post below if you currently "own" one of their VPS in the SIN1 datacenter.
Thanks!

I have one in SYD, interested?
SIN only sadly. (I'm physically located in BKK/TH and need to circumvent our secret national firewall).
hahaha I'm also looking for a vps to bypass my national firewall which is blocking access reddit. currently using vultr but it can't max my internet speed.
How fast is your internet speed that VULTR can't match?
@dijedolol @NanoG6 Could we please keep the discussion on track and stay relevant to the topic? Thanks!
Lol. Ok.
If you want something on OVH SGP until you can get one of theirs directly my plans start at $7
@MikeA: I'd rather get it from them directly but what's your website?
They should have public cloud instances soon this month. His site's ExtraVM, link in his signature.
I have one, 1 core 1G 2.5 USD/mo. ovh.com/world account. If interested, please PM me.
@Boltersdriveer Spoke to 2 sales representatives in the APAC area, 1 sale representative in the NA area and 3 different techies who all confirmed the VPS in APAC area were discontinued permanently. Regarding the public cloud instances no one of them could confirm this was either coming this month or at all. Regardless not in that price range it seems. Thanks for your input though.
@Chocoweb I have to go out to the bank will contact you in about an hour.
Thank you sir, what is your MTCN?
who all confirmed the VPS in APAC area were discontinued permanently
Wait, what?! I thought new stocks were coming before the year ends?
@OVH_APAC?
The public cloud is supposed to be this month. https://www.ovh.com/sg/discover/what-is-next-in-singapore.xml#public-cloud
The sandbox instances etc should be just about the same price as the VPS.
Hello all,
Just to confirm, the VPS discovery offer in APAC (hosted in Sydney and Singapore) is no longer available (permanently discontinued).
However this does not mean we won't offer VPS again in this part of the world :-)
While I have no ETA to communicate on any new VPS APAC offers, I can however inform that we are opening new Public Cloud regions in both Singapore and Sydney!
It means a range of powerful Public cloud instances/servers (no shared ressources!) as well as cheap sandboxes (shared ressources - quite similar to our old VPS APAC offer) but with the benefits of our Public Cloud solution: Pay-as-you-go, additional storage, snapshots,etc...
If you want to know more what is happening next our about our public cloud offer in:
- OVH Singapore datacenter: https://www.ovh.com/asia/discover/what-is-next-in-singapore.xml
- OVH Sydney datacenter: https://www.ovh.com.au/discover/what-is-next-in-australia.xml
Hope this helps/clarifies
The 1GB RAM discovery offer they had was for 2 EUR/month, cloud will likely match the VPS-SSD line with 2GB RAM for 3 EUR/month (and perhaps no unmetered bandwidth) -- 1.5x more expensive for extra RAM you don't need on a VPN server.
If OVH decided to discontinue discovery offer, why the offer still exists on the website showing out of stock? People may assume that it still exists. This the same like Vultr when they offered $2.5 VPS.
Just a small update: Got a VPS from Chocoweb, everything seems good. Kudos to him!
It's a damn shame the @OVH_APAC sales representatives gave me the "middle finger" attitude by e-mail no less than 3 times, and yes, I have the ticket numbers at my disposal. Shrug.
Well, not really!
It's kinda strange to discovery here that information which clearly do not appear anywhere visible, which has not been sent/explained to actual customers.
Would love to know what's going to happen once the year is over....
@PINGAPAC Sorry to hijack your thread, but I'm in BKK too and I know how SG is "important" :-)
@Miky All the ISPs in Thailand are secretly using reverse proxies to feed content to their CPE customers, this censorship is mainly aimed at residential customers though.
I forgot the name but Truemove got caught red handed a few years ago while they were using a load balancer/transparent proxy from a US based firm, something called Bluesomething... if anyone wants to chime in.
Tech monkeys at the NOC later on admitted such technology was widespread used nationwide in order to comply with the "Department of Censorship".
@Miky replying to myself but here goes:

Enjoy your read, we're mostly a free country compared to say, China as an extreme exemple but we're not totally "free".
Hello @drakula, I can see the offers has disappeared from most OVH websites except the local Singapore and ASIA websites https://www.ovh.com/asia/vps/ and https://www.ovh.com/sg/vps/. Will get the page updated as soon as possible and thank you for your feedback.
Hello @Miky,
I would like to clarify here that while we are not selling any additional "VPS APAC discover offer", there are strictly no changes to existing clients subscribed to this offer, they can continue to use it normally.
@OVH_APAC Good to know, because some providers don't follow that simple decent rule. Thanks
@OVH_APAC can one still upgrade their plan in the APAC region?
@corbpie I would assume so. The options to upgrade the plan from SSD APAC 1 to SSD APAC 2 3 and even 4 are there in the manager and nothing has been greyed out from what I can see here on my end.
The option still there. I successfully upgrade mine 2 months ago
Yes, the option is still available via the control panel.
Out of curiosity, how about downgrading to a lower plan, is it at all possible?
