Wonderful deal, but 100mbit kills it for me. Too slow
-deleted-
off to sleep
... got one, and carelessly re-installed my other server in the same control panel, wiping 2 TB of data. Backups of backups but still ... lol.
I agree.
Also I am allergic to setup fees.
I need one, but in CA
I understand you well. But I guess setup costs serve both as a marketing trick (putting some part of the monthly price into setup) and a filter (because not too unhappy at least) customers who paid a setup fee tend to stay longer. Plus it's pyschologically a certain commitment from the customers. In other words: they probably target for long term customers while trying to keep those who jump from one "cool deal of the month" to the next one.
Maybe I'm a bit outside of mainstream but I tend to prefer yearly deals anyway (but am picky with providers) and so "divide setup by 12 and add it to monthly" works fine.
Which reminds me of a small plus I forgot to mention about netcup: the deal (with my low price) is annual but payment is two times 6 months front up - which probably makes it easier for students and other people for whom paying 2 x, say, 40€ instead of 80€ is a bit easier. Just a small detail but one of some more which made me think that netcup is quite picky but really cares about their customers quite well. Similar with OVH maybe? (Don't know, had only one server with them years ago).
"Marketing trick" describes it well.
No idea about OVH.
I never used any of their services.
Are you becoming Nekki jr?
I need to get more post counts
Damn, good deal, not worried about setup fee, better cpu would make it a lot nicer though. I have a KS-2A (same as this but with 1x2TB) in RBX at 8.99e that I keep thinking of cancelling. Upgrading to this basically means getting 1x2TB for free. Will try for it I guess.
Update: I got an order through, don't have the server yet but will move my old KS stuff to it when it arrives.
got two. well, 100Mbps is enough for me.
thanks to the cache of cloudflare.
Might go back for a 3rd.
Please leave some for the masses.
take them all in france. I just want CA as well.
Go on, an early Christmas present
They get me every time...
Got one, good for storage. CPU does not bother me, but that 100mb bandwidth is problematic.
This one - the arm one is really poor for most workloads, even a single file upload/download to minio with SSL chokes the ARM up hard
Can't confirm this, getting 150mbit or so before CPU bottleneck on aes traffic in pure software, and very close to the full 250mbit with cryptodev
In both cases using https://github.com/kotc/ovhnas
On the other hand, the N2800 doesn't have any hardware acceleration for AES
Good point, I might be using the default build, and that was one of the SYS ARM 'tweaks' I didn't do.
Thanks for this, I still have ~2 months with it so I might as well try
I do remember the one thing that was really rough for it, and this may be minio's implementation, was downloading a ~300MB directory of ~40MB FLAC files as a zip
setup fee in 2019? No no no...
Scroll down... there's CA on there, for $14,99
Nothing wrong with it if the provider has someone on site provisioning hardware themselves.
Since this is OVH though, there's a good chance that human hands haven't touched half these Atom boxes in 5 years
No need to worry.
No AES acc. in hw does not mean "too slow to be useable". 2 Atom cores at 1,8 GHz will still easily fill an AES encrypted 100 Mb/s line; in fact multiple ones.
There are alternatives (like djb's Salsa) that are much faster than AES in software.
That's the regulr price, isn't it?
It took me a whole night to realize it was 2x2Tb. Feck, I'm old.
Guys.. this server costs 8,99€ and you're keep complaining about 9,99€ Setup?
I'm old too because i realized it just after your post.
It’s been posted for so long it’s fair game now as far as I’m concerned.
