Do these Budget KVM VPSs support Windows installation?

Yes, but we'd recommend doing at least a Silver plan. We have the standard Windows 2019 template but you will have to bring your own license.

Windows 2019 is on the list of OS choices but I haven't tried it. Edit: late reply, oops.

After going through all that trouble to reinstall, once again I thought I was hitting a mysterious SSH error--only to realize at last that I made a typo. I had a doubled up '@' in my ssh command and had been re-echoing the same typo all day long (sigh). But hey, at least I contributed to getting the VNC and Reinstall issues fixed!

No worries Glad you were able to help us out finding this issue!

I idled the domain for 2 years, and then canceled.

It seems like your only transit provider in New York is Hurricane Electric (AS6939). Do you have plans to add a second upstream? HE is not bad per se, but due to the ongoing peering dispute between Cogent and HE, your network in New York is unreachable from Cogent-based networks over IPv6.

We haven't received any reports of issues with IPv6 from Cogent users. At the moment we don't have plans to add additional transit providers. Are you able to provide a trace route where you are seeing the issue?

Hmm, strange. I’ll put a ticket in for that and update you on what they say.

That unlimited bw deal sounds awesome. Do you throttle speed after some amount of data used?

Works like a charm. I've never seen a provider adding another transit link that quickly before.

Hi, realized now that I was very vague on the giveaway and discount portion, so use this message as a notice about what is going on.

Giveaway Winners pulled on Jan 3rd, I'll be posting a video of spinning an online wheel, winners will have 7 days to contact me via LET PM to claim the prize.
VPS - There is a total of 8 VPS giveaways (2 for each plan, 4 total plans), you will have a full free year of our service, renewal is not required, but is appreciated.
Dedicated - The dedicated will be valid for one month, renewal is not required, but is appreciated.
Amazon Giftcards - if you do not have Amazon in your region, we will be able to equal amount in account credit or some other type of gift card.
Central.so stickers - We will only be mailing this to US/CA residents as shipping internationally is far too expensive. If a winner is pulled that lives outside of the US, we will resort to giving $15 account credit on Central.so
Discount - Discount will end on Jan 3rd as well, so get your orders in by then.

Take a look at this thread - https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/172544/ovh-ipv6-downlink-rate-limiting

So I should get speed of ~100Mbps, but the Recv speed of IPv6 is only 5Mbps, which is like a DSL line speed. Did OVH imposed a stricter limitation now?
