    In my personal experience (so this is all just me), OVH has horrible support that takes forever, but everything's automated so even then you really don't need to contact support for anything really.

    Ordered one, had a phone call about 10 minutes to confirm some details as its my first order. Looks like it will be a few days he thought as the DC is being restocked at the moment. I can live with that for ten bucks :)

  • HalfEatenPieHalfEatenPie Veteran

    Just got mine

    CPU model :  Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N2800   @ 1.86GHz
Number of cores : 4
CPU frequency :  1862.000 MHz
Total amount of ram : 1980 MB
Total amount of swap : 0 MB
System uptime :   49 min
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 8.28613 s, 130 MB/s

    Hollah!!!

    Got an email that mine was ready a couple of hours ago while i was asleep. Same spec as above :)
    The guy i spoke to on the phone said there was a good chance as they are restocking mostly with new kit.

  • tridinebandimtridinebandim Member

    are you ordering from uk site?

  • DeorDeor Member

    Yes from http://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/kimsufi.xml
    £8.99 +vat a month for the mKS 2G

  • tridinebandimtridinebandim Member

    so, can we say order from uk, get atom n2800?

    anyone got a n2800 from fr site?

    I'd presume the site you order from is irrelevant, you just get whatever's waiting to be handed out.

  • DeorDeor Member

    @tridinebandim said: so, can we say order from uk, get atom n2800?

    Well I ordered from the UK site and that's what I got. YMMV tho as that isn't the minimum spec guaranteed so you could just as likely end up with an older Atom or a Celeron.

    Anyone know how to work out the physical location of your server?

    They're all located in Roubaix, France. You can confirm by doing a traceroute - you'll see rbx-(stuff).fr.eu in there (yes, OVH has weird RDNS).

    How do these do for webhosting compared to the average $7 VPS? Is a dedicated Atom cpu slower/faster than having 2 shared cores on a VPS with fast cpu's?

    @david said: How do these do for webhosting compared to the average $7 VPS? Is a dedicated Atom cpu slower/faster than having 2 shared cores on a VPS with fast cpu's?

    My guess is VPS is faster? But this atom dedicated you can max out all resource 24/7 because its all yours. Not sure.

    In your ManagerV3 check the "Rack:" field, then you can find which exact datacenter your rack is in (RBX-1/2/3/4), on http://travaux.ovh.net/vms/index.html

    @jcaleb said: But this atom dedicated you can max out all resource 24/7 because its all yours.

    The biggest gain is no sudden slowdowns of your website because some other customer on the same node launched torrents or some stupid minecraft server.

    As for the general performance, sure some Xeon or i7 will be faster than Atom, but
    1) only if it's not oversold/overloaded CPU-wise (which you can't know and have no control over),
    2) the performance benefit of a faster CPU will not be noticeable at light-to-medium webhosting.

    Strangely enough, it shows you the datacentre if you log in to Manager V3 in French but not when you log in in English.

  • DeorDeor Member

    Ah yeah so it does, im in RBX3 apparently and i feel much better for knowing that :)

    Looks like traffic measurement could definitely be working now.

    Mine still isn't working right, I'm hoping to do 30TB this month :p

    Mine looks accurate, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll keep more of an eye on it and see.

  • HoloshedHoloshed Member

    This is my first post here but on the 7th I ordered one of the €9.99 servers, took till this morning to be delivered and I got one of the N2800s. Had a Win 2012 license I installed and it seems to be doing pretty good.

  • SwordfishBESwordfishBE Member

    Don't be sad if you got a celeron. Those CPU's are older, yes. But In my experience, they will keep on going! Never had one that failed or has given up on me ;-)

    LOL, no one says an older Celeron is worse because "it's going to fail or give up on you" (whatever that would mean), it's worse because it's just slower.

  • kampungkampung Member

    @SwordfishBE said: But In my experience, they will keep on going! Never had one that failed or has given up on me ;-)

    I really don't understand your point.
    Is there any chance that the atom processor will give up doing some computation?

  • SwordfishBESwordfishBE Member
    edited November 2012

    No, I just wanted to defend that older celeron. They are good for the price you are paying at OVH.
    If you are lucky and got a more newer model processor, good for you.

  • rm_rm_ IPv6 Advocate, Veteran
    edited November 2012

    There are two models of Celeron we have seen mentioned so far, that one could get:

    • an old 2.66 GHz P4-based Celeron
    • a newer 1.2GHz Core-based Celeron
      And actually neither of those is all that bad: the first one while being single-core can probably perform non-multithreaded tasks faster than an N2800 single core just due to the MHz difference; the second one is based on the advanced Intel Core microarchitecture which is a lot 'smarter' than the simplified Atom arch, and will certainly give it a run for its money.
