Thing is after having tasted Hetzner, everything else feels expensive. Especially for servers with Desktop CPUs.
You may say that. But Hetzner's geographically limited.
I don't get DDoS'd, I really don't
But even then, putting clients on Hetzner feels scary. I can't force them to use reverse proxies, and I'm fully aware OVH DDoS protection isn't Path or any other good specialized solution, but it's a million times better compared to Hetzner, I'll gladly pay some extra for that
Say what you will aboue OVH's DDoS Protection. But I think they do a good enough job for most things. For a while for vpsB had DDoS Problems that serverius wasn't able to handle but OVH was solid for.
Yeah, I was defending them, they're unique in their protection for the price tbh
But I still have to put it out there, otherwise there's always some skid going "HAHAHA MY 5 DOLLAR BOOTER CAN BOOT OFF OVH BTW IM COOL"
OVH Anti-DDOS can handle most volumetric attacks, its just that most Game Servers don't have good Anti-DDOS on the protocol level.
And that's a big difference to Hetzner and worth the price for many, I'd say
thank you for the post @emgh !
These servers are available in 8 locations including Europe, North America and Asia-pacific datacenters (limited stock!)

It will soon be 2 years since we own the same server with Ryzen 3800X, 64GB DDR4 and 2x 960GB NVMe but with the great plus that we have 1Gbps up/down both IPv4 and IPv6 (the limitation to 250Mbps is more recent).
After price increases, this server is 73 EUR without VAT, but it makes all the money even at this price.
Says 1 Gbps burst
Yes, burst but mine has 1Gbps as base speed, not only for a short period.
Burst dosen't necessarily mean that they have a strict time limit
when will the Game-2 available in Singapore location?
OVH has lately become stingy with the bandwidth pipes. Gigabit is only guaranteed on the Advanced series or higher (or if you get lucky with the pipe lottery on the eco servers). I would keep your server renewed and avoid letting go of it if gigabit is of high value to you (especially if it's on the GAME network).
I used to have that same OVH server back in December 2021 and it was a solid machine, but didn't keep it renewed due to budgetary constraints. Right now, I don't think you can buy a GAME machine with guaranteed gigabit no matter what; it's not listed anywhere on OVH.
Not so attractive after adding the 18% tax. I would stick to vpses in SG.
Tbh I don’t host anything in APAC but I can’t think of a lot of offers for cheaper Ryzen performance in that region
Simple thing: Ryzen cores are faster than Epyc cores. I personally don't care that much and prefer more (weaker) cores over (fewer) faster cores, but for many, e.g. gamers, Ryzen servers seem to be more desirable.
And btw., no offense intended, but "cheap" usually has certain ingredients. There are reasons that cheaper products tend to also be weaker/worse products. I myself only ever had one @Hetzner_OL / Hetzner product, a VPS, and I was quite disappointed.
That said I still remember the OVH data center with wooden floors that burned down.
(But, for the sake of fairness, I once, a long time ago had a @OVH_APAC dedi and it was a really nice machine at a great price)
P.S. How about the OVH people creating an official OVH account? And I mean one rather than multiple "OVH[something]" accounts ...
I will say, indeed.
I am getting regular reports of being DDoSed.
I mean, I use my KSs for private stuff and I donate some bandwidth to I2P, Freenet, Tor, but only unlisted stuff (bridges).
I have some proxies and wireguard as well, but there is nothing that could attract an attack, no game servers, not even a web server or mail service, absolutely nothing!
I get it, the skids might fatfinger some IP, but once or twice a year, not every week 3-4 times. I run similar things with other people, including Prometeus, and it never happened to be DDoSed. Something is wrong, the rate of false positives or the frequency of attacks against OVHs IPs is so great that it either spills over, IPs are mistyped or tricks the detection into picking the wrong IPs.
k
Edit: Honestly though I also do get emails every now and then that OVH has mitigated DDoS on an IP I have there. But it's definitely lol. I don't host anything controversial or public on that server so.... eh.
19 IPv4's and bunch of IPv6's with OVH and never once got such a notice
Hi @vba , thanks for your interest. Unfortunately due to popular demand, Game-2 is fully sold out in our Singapore location. However do keep checking back the website from time to time as any customers that give up theirs will automatically be added back to the pool for order.
Absulutely true! I have ran speed test and downloads 10GB test files but never triggered the limit.
Then again I'm in APAC so even if all employees and customers connect at the same time there is no way their international speed would saturate my server.
