OVH. Just don't expect any support from them at all.
What kind of uptime in numbers are we talking about which you consider unacceptable? I got "frequent" reboots (probably migrations for load balancing), but they were absolutely fine for the price and better than 90 % of the LE* providers.
On that point, I'm in accordance with you. But we easily get under 95% of uptime on fresh install VPS... That isn't normal... But for their support, yes. However, for $2-3/month, they are cheap, but for production use, better to take a OVH reseller than OVH itself, in my own opinion.
But, back to thread !!
Any other OVH resellers which have an European location?
You are lying again.
Under 95 % = 36 hours = one and half days down each month. Sorry but this is isn't true.
I am not the biggest OVH fan, but don't try to sell your products lying about your competitors.
@Nyr, to stop hijacking this thread, I PM you. Sorry @luissousa for this. I suggest Ramnode in Netherland. You should check their latency to your home.
The OVH VPS I had in BHS for a month was perfectly fine (no reboot). However, rDNS did not work and support did not manage to enable it within 30 days (!), so I did not extend it.
If you can work with NAT ipv4 ive just opened up a France NanoVZ location. 3€ a year for something that will do teamspeak fine. Or contact me via ticket for a custom plan
Thanks for the mentions everyone
We can do custom ACL's as needed without issue.
We can do a 'block everyone but these IPs' and things like that, we'd just need a list of either subnets or static IP's to approve.
You just have to ticket it in, it doesn't cost anything extra.
Francisco
Thank you very much for your answer
I will take a look at your offers
I didn't say OVH isn't good, it's just for some applications OVH is not suitable
You said:
Which is just false. In fact, most common floods nowadays are are UDP reflection which OVH (and anyone with a big pipe) can mitigate 100 %.
Do you want to see a demonstration?
Sure. I hope you got permission from the owners of the networks doing the reflection as well as from OVH.
No problem, getting a ticket opened
Also it's not a reflection attack its a spoofed UDP attack
I cannot stress enough how OVH CANNOT keep the UDP service online while under a flood, Sure it'll mitigate it but the service running behind it will be blocked from running
Please @luissousa go with @Francisco or @Nick_A
You'll be happy you went with them as they use Staminus which keeps the UDP service online under floods, heck NFOservers could be an option also.
OVH is only good for TCP based services, HTTP, Minecraft, Runescape, other TCP based games
I will quote you again:
OVH does mitigate many common attacks, including most UDP floods (yes, reflection), while keeping the service online. I already said OVH can't mitigate some more nasty ones, so don't go keep going in circles.
Ah, sorry misread that statement, carry on.
OVH is absolutely terrible at mitigating any real attachs (above 4Gbps approximately, or anything about 10kpps where it just sputters and cries.) This is with the OVH Anti-DDoS PRO and permanent mitigation mode enabled for that IP address.
Sure, it doesn't hit the physical server; but it also doesn't hit the individual IP address either, thereby shutting off the IP address, and no more useful than just null routing the IP address would be (which is what other providers do anyways.)
First hand experience on this one, our Montreal location is OVH.
I would heavily recommend a real DDoS protected provider, like @Nick_A or @Francisco or someone else using Staminus, BlackLotus, X4B, or some real filtering solution; and not just some bullshit "We will protect you!" claim that OVH stated.
On top of that, the OVH control panel gives very few choices in lieu of the firewall options for permanent mitigation. And, if the attack is "too large" (above 40kpps or so, which is pretty small a limit) they will just remove the IP address and it will show as an "ARP Error" in the provider API, and I have to "unblock" the IP address manually.
We actually have 100gbit filtering available in Vegas as well.
We've not really announced it, mostly just seeing how it holds up first
$6/IP/month.
Francisco
@GoodHosting I already repeated how OVH can only mitigate simple attacks and only on the network level. Stop it, really.
OVH has tanked pretty big floods for me on RBX, much more than 40k PPS.
I already mentioned other providers using specialized protection too, but the fact is he has just a TeamSpeak server and OVH would probably work like it does for the many kids running similar services (and doesn't for some others, yeah).
Interesting. From who/where?
Interesting, in BHS it's a lot more of a joke. RBX must be a nice place to be OVH-wise.
Backhauled from OVH like the prosVoxility :P
Francisco
Are they still using that dreaded Fortinet system?
Wow, that's a surprise.
If you can answer: do you have some extra gear on your end or all the job is up to Voxility?
Vox for now. I'll likely get something in place for additional filtering in the off chance something leaks.
I know we're not the cheapest game in town but you'll be hard pressed to beat our feature list.
Francisco
Cheapest game in town? We actually have 100gbit filtering available in Vegas as well.
$6/IP/month. I don't how how cheaper that can get, that's a good deal already
I mean overall, plans as well :P
Francisco
Go with zare.co.uk, they use voxility and host in London. Voxility is hard to beat in term of ddos protection, while a simple ntp attack will take all the 20gbit ddos protection services down that you find here.
