@zsero you can always install any version using their Rescue system, if you are familiar with command line installation. I installed Gentoo Linux this way there.
@zsero you can also request a LARA (KVM) for 3 Hours for free per a time.
This should allow you to mount a ISO of the latest FreeBSD and install as required.
@AshleyUk: thanks, nice to know!
@exception0x876: I usually prefer to use the untouched original installer, and let it set up ZFS on root, etc.
It's new hardware.. always more expensive. The old server was 41.18€ excl VAT with barely weaker CPU and only 32GB RAM, so 80€ setup are not that bad a deal.. if you keep the server for a year.
Server auction is much cheaper, if you don't need 64GB RAM.
Did they finally get rid of "flexipack" when you order a /28? Cannot find any mention of it.
It does look that way, and looking at my last invoice a server I have with a /27 and no other extra hardware was not charged the Flexipack, will have to confirm with their sales when they are open.
Probably yes.

I believe that they have disabled remote media functionality in their KVM and charge Euro 25 for manually mounting an ISO.
Probably got fed up people trying to mount an ISO over a 1MB upload ADSL. Still cheaper than the perm KVM for an install.
But why is it such a special question? I always though dedicated server = I can install whatever I want on it over KVM. Was I just spoiled by the Dell / HP management options of Online.net?
It's really no fun to install a damn iso over idrac with a few mbps upload.
I made a separate windows instance on amazon last time and got rid of amazon vps after it was done.
No, you just mount it from their local NAS. They have pretty much everything you need there, and if not, they've added my FreeBSD 10.2 bootonly ISO on asking by a ticket:
https://virtualmedia.online.net/
I have ADSL with less than 1Mbps upload and this is the only reason I went with HP instead of Dell. iLO supports remote media mounting from a URL.
I must have done something wrong with idrac6. It looked to me that using java7 with idrac6 was that it wanted to locate isos from my harddrive instead of letting me use http/s or whatever else.
edit: The result of my ticket was I could mount and map isos to the server. I couldn't map anything for some reason. I was told that I didn't have such rights and had to ask support for that.
Support guy let me/solved this issue, but didn't mount a windows iso I linked him to.
It doesn't matter anyway any longer.
If you click on an ISO, it'll display the correct path both for IDRAC and ILO. For example
https://virtualmedia.online.net/bsd/FreeBSD-10.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
->
//10.190.253.250/nas-ilo/bsd/FreeBSD-10.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.isoYeah, in my case, the special edition black friday server came with idrac 6. All options almost were greyed out via idrac 6's web panel.
As I said, initially the java client didn't let me map isos, so was useless for installation.
Only idrac7 and 8 are mentioned there https://virtualmedia.online.net/bsd/FreeBSD-10.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso.
To enable the options on the IDRAC6 (also got a BF-Serv), just open a ticket and request them to set it up. From then you will be able to mount ISOs using the Java - Client.
Fixed it for me and couple others.

That's exactly what I've done. Don't remember if it was you or someone else saying that. Now, I've got windows nicely running without paying ~€30/m for it. I'm evaluating the software whether it fits my educational purposes.
sounds familiar
can't argue with that. whatever education it is. I mean just using shitty windows is educational, there's so much crap to it.
What is the target of this line
Hosting? No ecc.
Games? No ddos protection.
Computing power for a short period? Crazy setup fees.
I personally brought as a jump server / remote work station, so the low ongoing montly fee is perfect. Happily pay one off fee.
Can someone tell me which board is inside these servers ? Again crappy MSI ?
Fujitsu D3401-H
For DDoS protection, can't you just get a BuyVM.net server with filtered IP and setup a GRE tunnel? Seems like the most logic and price worthy protection imo.
