Banned
how do we know that the online.net dedibox costing 5,99€ per month is not a scam?
it is not really a dedicated server but a cheap low cost VPS

Omg, just leave..
You shouldn't manage a server when you ask such questions you could easily google.

oh you mean when a hard drive "breaks" they just deleted your files for fun to make it seem like a dedicated server? hmmmmmmmmm
LOL. As someone who has a few of them at 2 Eur/mo, believe me.. Its not a scam
Please kindly spend your sunny weekend on family BBQ than being troll on LET.
Changed the title from "online.net dedibox scam" to "online.net dedibox - is it a scam?" in order to highlight that this thread is a question rather than a conclusion of some sort.
This is too funny - online.net in fact is one of the cheapest dedicated server hosts ever.
Apart from DelimiterVPS, online.net in my opinion rocks.
Especially after their cloud ARM server beta.
I am a repeated buyer there. It's a good host.
If you don't get what you need, Buy from one-provider france location-they resell online.net in france....Bought a 100mbps unmetered server but got a 1gbps unmetered server...:)
I think all of Online.net's servers are 1Gbps connected, but you're only guaranteed 200Mbps (or more). And with the 1.99Eur specials, if you push more than 100Mbps a month on average they'll ask you to tone it down, but you can burst up to 1Gbps for sure.
I can confirm it is a scam, beware hax0rs
Interesting. Seems like having fun is awesome when working at online.net
you don't can do this, with a vps so long time:

@vpssamy You can! E.g. If the provider just doesn't care or when you've got a dedicated cpu.
Even the random avatar looks like a genuine troll face
Seems like he's "testingtesting" us
Offline.NET is the scam one, buddy
The problem I have is, do they accept USD...? Seems like it's in Euro's only.
The invoice is in Euros, but I've never had issues paying with an Entropay virtual card. I'm sure it gets converted.
another post and run
Heh one thing that I found amusing about online was their default RDNS
I have 2 servers with them and they are a complete charm. Cant fault them at all. Would wholeheartedly recommend them. You do have to be used to their humour though. (You need to like ponys. Don't remind me about the T-Shirt and the stickers)
Out of curiosity, what was it
?
xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.rev.poneytelecom.eu
Where xxx is the servers ip.
It's just the base domain for reverse DNS of their whole network, you can traceroute on IPv4 to www.online.net and you will see it. Also they have this website: http://www.poneytelecom.eu/
Yep, that's no news - they've being reselling Poney's VPSs for ages. Reverend Poney must be happy for those extra sales.
Hum, I always thought they resell BuyVM?
@Maounique: Online/Dedibox/PoneyTelecom/Scaleway/Iliad doesn't resell anything, they have their own servers in their own datacenters. Also, they don't sell VPS.
That's what they call their "US Nodes".
we have one 40 Euro E3 machine with them, it says 300mbps is guaranteed, so how much bandwidth can be used realistic before they send a email to pay extra 72
@Alt Are you a blonde ?
This reminds me a joke:
A guy sits in a bar and tries to hook up with a girl near.
-Hey, wanna hear a joke about blondes?
-Look, said the girl, I am karate champion for this state, my natural hair colour is blonde, my friend here is also a blonde and a judo champion, while my friend which comes through the door now, is also a blonde and is heavylifting champion, are you sure you want to tell us a joke about blondes?
-Nah, said the man resigned, I'd have to explain the joke three times over.
run script to download 'Linux ISO' from various location, and you'll know.
Obviously need to dl more than 300 mbit/s average so 90-100TB.
