OVH SoYouStart lineup refresh

Were others able to normally burst on the 1 gbit port? (I mean without needing bursting thing which I think is called nitro)

Yeah, I wish the setup fees weren't so high.. would have liked to try the E3 when it was available @BHS

"GAME" range of servers now available in beta, for those interested.

http://www.soyoustart.com/fr/serveurs-game.xml

Appears to only be available on French site. Comment from Google Translate:

A 50% discount is applied to the price of the server during the beta testing period until 30 June 2014. Commitment 14 days non-renewable.

Currently out of stock. From what I can tell, the SSD range looks a bit more appealing than the (non-discounted) Game range.

What does the phrase "limited to 128 IPs and/or 16 slots per server" mean?

@Nickolai http://www.soyoustart.com/ie/failover-ip.xml
means you can have up to 16 individual IPs or subnets of various sizes, but all of those in aggregate must not exceed 128 IPs.

tehdan

as I understand it you have 16 slots, each 'slot' can be filled with a single IP, or a subnet as large as /29 (8 ips). Therefore the most ips you can have is 16*8 = 128 IPs.

Nickolai

That's interesting. I don't care how my IPs are grouped, so 128 IPs is 128 IPs but I guess it might matter for some use cases.

tehdan

I don't see many people paying €2/month for the last 112 IPs on a €30/month server...

Get JQ: http://stedolan.github.io/jq/

And the let your Cron mail you:

curl https://ws.ovh.com/dedicated/r2/ws.dispatcher/getAvailability2 | jq '.answer.availability[] | .reference as $ref | .zones[] | {availability, zone, product: $ref} | select(.product == "142sys4") | select(.availability != "unavailable") | "\(.product) \(.zone) \(.availability)"'

Replace 142sys4 with the ID you are interested in or add multiple by adding "or .product == "142sys1"

PS: For the lazy ones, @rm_'s script can be found here

Falzo

@TWo: thanks, wasn't aware of that posting in the other long thread... ;-)

how do you know what product got which id?
nvm, found them in the source of their lineup-pages...

What about 142sys5,6,7 etc?
Lets say that we want to make this script to work for KS-2, do we just replace 142sys4 with KS-2 ?

Ok figured it out, its 124sk1 for Kimsufi KS-1.
Big thanks.

Is there any way to have it sent a mail on successfull availability? I tried adding | mail -s but it works even with no availability.

http://www.soyoustart.com/en/game-servers.xml also looks interesting, but no RAID and you can't renew...

hmm, price on the ie site is cheaper, 30 euros is $41.07, vs the $42 on the US site

(because its included the VAT?)

Because currencies. They picked one number which looked good enough ($42), and since then the exchange rates have changed a bit. Not reasonable to expect the US site to update the USD price daily, or listing weird prices such as "$41.07".

Are you really such a special kid to believe VAT would be something that adds 93 cents to $41? In EU it's closer to 15-20%, and in this case nope it's not that.

@hausarzt:

After 12 months I will be able to renew the server for a full year with a 25% discount.

Where can I find this info on their website? Or do you have a custom arrangement with OVH? ;-)

I also would be interested in a complete Serverbear, if somebody can help...

yes, but it was worth noting in any case... because as of right now, when ordering, you should order from the .ie site... well, I'm not sure how their charging works, I assumed you are charged in euros. I believe paypal charges a 1% fee for that, so it'd then make it ~$41.48.

But right now the euro is at a sixth month high. Were these prices made over 6mo ago?

There used to be a much larger discrepancy, w/ the old lineup (then it was the US site being about 10% cheaper).
