Kimsufi now doing Super Cheap LEB?
So I got bored and was browsing around providers and noticed that Kimsufi, that company that sells super cheap dedicated servers, is now selling super cheap VPS's.
http://www.kimsufi.com/fr/vks/index.xml
Their cheapest plan, 4.99€, comes out to about $6.50 for 512MB Ram, 1 vCPU, IPv4/6, 1TB on 100mbps and 25GB of Space. The more scary part is it's about $10.50 for 1GB of ram and About $19.50 for 2GB of ram.

Any OVH hosts wanna chime in on this? I've always been pretty iffy about hosting with a datacenter that's wanting to compete with their own clients.
Francisco
haha, should be interesting, I guess they have got sick off all the fly by night hosts that have used them so have beaten them at their own game.
I don't speak french but google translate says the rates are "per week" w/c is not cheap at all. I also want to know the virtualization of those boxes.
What virtualisation are they using? I don't understand any French.
I do use OVH myself, and they are good if you have strict rules for your clients, as sometimes even a single dmca notice will force them to stop your server, or "lock" it with ftp readonly access.
@dnom the rates are per month - google translate is a bit messed up :P
I noticed they have been doing that however its never been implemented for outside EU sales IE http://www.kimsufi.ie/ Not sure if they will or not but I would not trust a vps from the OVH subsidiary.
I went through hell obtaining a corporate account with ovh.ie (to get rid of VAT) The support is slow and their management platform is terrible. I would never count on a vps from them or even reselling them if thats your plan. The 3 kimsufi.ie boxes I have is irc shells and a dev box, occasionally I will resell one but thats it.
OVH only treat DMCA complaints as normal copyright infringement notices, so they simply forward them onto you (unless your American, then they shut you off).
But OVH /used/ to host WikiLeaks.
I would host WikiLeaks. My webhost would be a very liberal host, unless it gets alot of criticism, that is, if I owned my own IP ranges/servers/bandwidth.
@Shane
obviously you dont know whats ur talking about.
@pufotog: I guess I don't lol. I guess I meant that I wouldn't reject their order.
How do you know your IP Transit providers won't cut the cord and terminate contacts?
@Derek: lol.
I need to learn not to say controversial things. >_>
I wouldn't touch WikiLeaks with a 10m pole. Even if I agreed with their methodology, I sure as hell wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of XerXes should j35t3r decide to change his policy of not affecting his targets' hosts.
More of think before you speak.
Or at the least, type it all and just leave it as a draft (a lot of us have done that).
@Adam: Exactly.
I find it hard to think things out quickly IRL. I am autistic, not using it as an excuse, but autism is a communication disorder from what I hear.
the j35t3r is nothing more then a cry baby, and doesn't know right from wrong
Can someone tell me the sense in leasing Atom 1.2 Ghz 2GB RAM 1TB HDD dedicated servers and 1 vCPU 2GB RAM 100GB HDD VPSs for the same price? (Both EUR 14,99 monthly (excl. VAT))
Depends what you will use it for :P
@utkun, maybe the 1 vCpu has much more power than the dedicated atom... and for the most projects some GB space is more than enough.
Trying to get more people pissed at LEB/LET? lol
Agree with "most" ...
However, there are people who would also rather to have more space over anything else - specially fi its just an ftp server - or a LAN connected server for file transfers too.
This can go back to the debate over Raid 10 or single hard drive. I'm sure OVH puts more money into the nodes then there single dedicated servers.
I kind of agree :P
?
/Mois means per month.
I think this is great for consumers, obviously not great for OVH resellers.
What you may think of him is irrelevant. What matters is that his attacks are unquestionably efficient.
If I understand correct each of those kimsufi plans have minimum 3 months contract. 7.99€ can be potentially nice vps for cPanel hosting. Anything more known about type of virtualization?
Huh?
You prohibit content because the jester could be pissed off? wow.

It seams to be hosted in the UK now.
