ordering a new KS server with Kimsufi account
So, I have a couple KS servers for many years, and today i want to order a new one.
Simple I thought.... but when I go to order a new server i'm redirected to ovhcloud, which does not recognise my xxxxxx-ra account id. (tried various countries/locals).
Does anyone know how I can order a server using my KS login/account? maybe some url manipulation?
support is asking me for a xxxxx-ovh account id, which i do not have, yet emails/invoiced etc consistently refer to ovhcloud for a long time.

It's now with OVHCloud. You buy new Kimsufi servers under that account. Legacy accounts still use the Kimsufi account system to maintain existing servers / billing etc.
Sucks that you have reverify your account on ovh if your kimsufi account has been verified in the past
yeah, seems like this is the case, that sucks. I know i'll have to re-verify as I'm now in Vietnam and my billing is in the West. fun and games.
Which brings me on to question #2:
Does anyone know how i can create an OVHCloud account that bills in Euro, while my billing address is UK? Their UK pricing is always +5-10% higher in GBP, seems like a kick in the face haha.
Aside from having a friend in a country with Euro billing, like France, Germany or Ireland among many others, there is no way to avoid it.
Thanks. Went ahead with new ovhcloud account in GBP. Got double the disk space on my KS-17 (which is replacing a ... KS-17). So that's nice. No use for the additional space though
Bigger SSDs are probably faster as well; whether that matters for SATA SSD is debatable.
