    Oh, @hawc explores world ;)...

    OVH Kimsufis are also desktop hardware, even without enclosure - just mainboard with components - https://lafibre.info/images/ovh/201105_rbx1_fait_en_2007_une_range_de_100_serveurs_par_baie_soit_1600_serveurs_sur_12m_2.jpg.

    Ninja edit: Can't find the post where Aaron explained it so can't confirm that's the exactly way it works but I'm fairly sure that's what it was.

    You are correct. That's how the system works. 5 emails every 5 minutes until stock is gone.

    What some people are doing is using an auto refresh script that checks the code and alerts them is the button changes from red to blue.

    sin said: Because it doesn't always work - both of the $10 servers I bought I had already signed up to email on both of them but I purchased those servers and never received the email first.

    The you caught it before the email went out. For example, the system goes back in stock and is placed on the site. Anyone can order it and the system starts sending emails. It's completely possible that if 5 units are available and 5 people are refreshing then they'll get the systems before the second round of emails get sent. If you're #200 on the email list but you're refreshing your screen and grab them then you won't get the email before you got the server. Once you get the server the system will remove you from the waiting list even if the email hasn't been sent because the logic is that you got the server, you don't want to be notified when it comes in stock again.

    Even OVH and Hetzner offer "consumer grade" hardware (look at the pics on their website for the tower machines on the shelves)

    With us, anything that's a desktop processor is probably a consumer grade box. Anything that's a Xeon or Opteron is either a 1U, Blade or OCP server.

    Speaking of waiting lists....

    Probably be ready tomorrow. As promised I'm putting them here first before we release them to the general public.

    This is the $49 spec I promised earlier in the thread.

    wow, this is an unbeatable offer

    Other providers can only offer servers with a slow 6 year old cpu and less ram for that price...

    I see on your website that the bandwidth is increased from 20 TB to 33 TB, is this also for the current clients ?

    • 33TB Monthly Transfer
    • 5 usable IPv4 Address
    • /64 IPv6 Address Block**

    Hmmm... That wasn't supposed to go live until midnight but to answer your question, yes. All current customers will get the upgrade. There is a little programming to do to effect that change so it might now show up into your customer panel until later tonight.

    Nice to omit from commenting about this hw failure and lack of compensation, but you did take my $42 for overages when I clearly did not want the 1gig/20tb .

    And no you did not reply to my PM as you said before .

    Your last post said:

    inthecloudblog said: As these are unmanaged servers we do not monitor customer services so you need to let us know when the server goes down. We will look into this shortly and update you when we have more information.

    >

    Kind of contradictory to what you say their tasks are in terms of what their job is and the automation and all that

    We don't proactively watch servers for failed hardware. It's an unmanaged service. When you told us you had a hardware issue we responded to it. As they should have.

    inthecloudblog said: It appears the system has failed and needs to be replaced. please send us the login information so we can get this swapped to different hardware and back online.

    >

    Woops. Overages need to be paid and faulty hardware and lack of service is not credited?

    You notified us of a problem at 20:35. You were responded to at 20:37. (2 minute response time) Your system was checked and then you were given an update at 21:10. (33 minutes) You didn't respond so the tech booted your system up in recovery for you and sent you the information at 02:20. Then you never responded after that so the ticket was closed.

    If your downtime is caused by a hardware failure we're happy to credit you for the time from when you reported the issue to the time it was resolved. Since you opened the ticket and then never responded again the ticket was closed at 2:20. That's 6 hours. If you'd like a credit for those 6 hours please submit a ticket and billing will get it for you. Normally in this case, no, I wouldn't issue a credit because you never responded and therefore most of the downtime was caused by our technicians waiting on you.

    My 1TB SSD server was rebooted few hours ago, so I opened a ticket asking what was the problem and they said they where adding more servers in the same rack as mine at that time... (still doesn't explain why my server was rebooted lol) So I presume they are coming...

    Is it possible to have 1TB HDD rather than a SSD?

    @clarity_64 said:
    Do you have any instructions on how you did this? Or how you started doing it?

    Reboot into rescue CD, your primary drive is mounted on /dev/sdax (sda5 in my case) and the rest is similar to the install Windows on Kimsufi as per @joodle 's tutorial

    Uh... yea... Not sure why your server would have been rebooted. I'll check on that. :(

    We don't have any configured that way. Is there a technical reason? We're not buying very many platter drives these days as SSDs are where its going and they are BY FAR more popular.

  • clarity_64clarity_64 Member

    Here is what I see when I do an fdisk -l. Which one of those do I target? I have a disk at /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. I have tried to hit /dev/sda, but the system never came back up after a reboot.

    Device    Boot     Start       End    Blocks  Id System
/dev/sda1 *         2048    487423    242688  83 Linux
/dev/sda2         489470 488278015 243894273   5 Extended
/dev/sda5         489472 488089599 243800064  83 Linux

    Just want more storage space rather than fast SSD, since 250GB is not really a lot when you need to run a few VMs.

    spammy said: Just want more storage space rather than fast SSD, since 250GB is not really a lot when you need to run a few VMs.

    The low end models are going to be pretty limited. Right now we have one rack configured that way. After that we're planning on a config with 2x 240 SSDs and then 2x 480SSDs and 2x 1TB SSDs. Right now we don't have any plans to do anything but SSDs in these.

    Even our lower spec machines, like 5420's that have 2TB Drives will be getting 240SSDs. On most configurations the SSD versions outsell the platter drive versions by as much as 5 to 1.

    Why not selling more configurations with SSD + HDD? It's always useful if you have some extra storage space.

    One disk servers, such risk. That's the only thing holding me back.
