    @jarland Yup, free IPMI it seems from a few reviews I've read, not asked directly though

  • earlearl Member

    @jarland said: What!? Oh please be true.

    Yes I have one.. they are Dell cs24-sc and the IPMI works awesome compared to the iLo we had at datashack, the down fall is they provision the IPMI on one of your 5 IP's and also the RAID is fake RAID/sata RAID ICH9R so wont work with proxmox/vmware.

    'Tis true, I have one of these :)

    Ooooooooh, free IPMI, that is really tempting

  • DomainBopDomainBop Member

    @jkr1711 "Hmm, never had this issue with OVH

    OVH.ie requires photo IDs and proof of address if you live in the US or a non-EU country so they can verify you're exempt from VAT. Hetzner requires the same info if you're outside the EU:

    Since you're a new customer with Hetzner, could you please send us a scan of your passport or ID card (authenticity check) and a photo of your credit card?

    It's only necessary for your first order with us.

    Please send the documents by fax or as an email attachment.

    @DomainBop Living in the UK I pay VAT for everything :p Looks like it's now at the managers discretion, hopefully he'll/she'll be on my side so I'm conservatively confident

  • earlearl Member

    @BronzeByte said: Ooooooooh, free IPMI, that is really tempting

    Actually the E3-1230 V2 deal that DomainBop posted from perfectIP comes with free IPMI as well.. it's a supermicro based server where the WII is a Dell server

    Passmark results:
    Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2 @ 3.30GHz 9,119
    [Dual CPU] Intel Xeon L5420 @ 2.50GHz 6,585
    Intel Xeon E5520 @ 2.27GHz 4,881

    Hooray! Victory dance time. Upper management agreed with my valid reasoning so all I needed to do was send a scan of the agreement and my bank card.

    I'll keep you all updated as events unfold

    They at least give you a cigarette after? ;)

  • jkr1711jkr1711 Member

    @jarland haha :p All I got was a thank you for my co-operation and confirmation my order is being processed. I think that's more than enough for one night

    /thread

    I got one of those a month ago and they are very nice servers and support is very quick and helpful also (well same with my DataShack server but we know why). I have the IPMI connected too for work I need to do and it is a giant benefit.

    I would definitely say that is a good server and offer especially with unmetered.

  • NateN34NateN34 Member

    $50 a month extra for software RAID 1.

    That is where they get ya.

  • earlearl Member

    @NateN34 said: $50 a month extra for software RAID 1.

    It's hardware RAID for $50..

  • Ben1002Ben1002 Member

    @NateN34

    Or you could request a temp KVM and set it up yourself. Are you sure its not hardware raid 1?

  • jkr1711jkr1711 Member

    Yeah I'm pretty sure it's hardware RAID, no-one in their right mind would charge monthly if at all for software RAID

    @earl said: What makes it more tempting is they also give you free IPMI..

    What? Which one!

  • HoloshedHoloshed Member

    @HalfEatenPie said: What? Which one!

    I would assume Wholesale Internet as their 39.00 server includes it for free.

  • jkr1711jkr1711 Member

    @HalfEatenPie @Holoshed I think PerfectIP does too, I never asked but I'm pretty certain from what other reviews have said and comments left here have said

  • HoloshedHoloshed Member

    Ah, may be, I was just looking at the flow of the comments leading up to that quote and it seemed to refer to WSI.

    The E3-1230V2 (Supermicro) deal from perfectIP and the xeon L5420 deal from WII (Dell)

    I have them both and they both include IPMI

    Might as well add if anyone is interested that the Xeon E5520 does not come with IPMI, you can purchase a remote reboot addon for like $2/m, they also have a control panel similar to OVH, Dacentec where you can automatically reload your own OS but unfortunate only Centos is available for now, they say they will be putting up more images but not sure when.. and I think OS reloads are free anyways they never mentioned having to pay a fee to reinstall an OS.

    Ordered a E3 server and let's see how it works.

  • earlearl Member

    Yes I have asked before signing up it is definitely hardware RAID, I know the E3-1230V2 supermicro has onboard fake raid as well, so not sure why anyone would pay to setup software RAID once and pay for it every month

    It's been going good for me, support is really quick to reply! the only thing is the drives are WD Green so not the greatest performer, Also the port seems to be capped at around 250Mbit so you don't get a full 1Gbit.

  • jkr1711jkr1711 Member

    Server is up now, confirmed I got free IPMI with the $39.99 E5520 deal. Benchmarks to follow soon

  • earlearl Member

    @jkr1711 said: I got free IPMI with the $39.99 E5520

    They gave you IPMI When I asked they said no IPMI for the E5520?

  • jkr1711jkr1711 Member

    @earl Yup I got IPMI details right here in front of me. Currently doing a yum update but I'll double check everything later as it's 20 past 1 in the morning here

  • DStroutDStrout Member

    FWIW, this...

    @DStrout said: I like that they have a /120 IPv6 block for $1.

    ...was sarcasm

    Not complaining at all! Paying for a 100mbps port but those inter-US throughputs are great. Even international speeds are decent. Well worth the hassle it seems

    Ah OK.. Do you know what kind of a server they gave you? is it supermicro or Dell?

    Ok just asked them again regarding the E5520 IPMI and they said it's the luck of the draw some come with IPMI and some don't..
