Yeah I noticed that in the panel
Eh, dam LIES.
Arnaud said he will figure out a solution to move current clients.
I guess you even have to pay the Setup fee if your old server dies.
Well they say "there is a high probabability that we won't be able to repair or replace the server". Maybe they will be able to fix it if it ever breaks, and that's just a commercial trick to push users to a more expensive server...
They are losing money on these servers and using this tactic to see if people will give them up. I don't see it working.
I just asked if it is possible to migrate without paying the setup fees. Guess what? It's not possible.
It's time for some online.net special. I hope.
If I loose my 630 days of uptime I won't be very happy!
I've had one of these since they were first released a couple of years ago and have done absolutely nothing at all with it. It's like a free 48 EUR for them; I would imagine there's quite a few other people doing the same thing with it.
Ugh, reading the subject I thought they are terminating everyone's servers. But if it's just this announcement, then nope, I'm not cancelling mine...
I've got the fucker just sitting there doing nothing but seeding 100+GB of fansubbed anime to a semi-private tracker, worth every penny.
Yes, there must be something since it's almost 4 months now and they mostly do such promo each 4 months at the end of the month. I hope there will be something with SSD drives like https://documentation.online.net/en/serveur-dedie/offres/serveur-dedibox-md-2014/server-dedibox-md-2014
We had this one previously released for 19,99 Euro: https://documentation.online.net/en/serveur-dedie/offres/serveur-dedibox-md-2013/server-dedibox-md-2013
I find it astonishing if they would at some point throw away(?) thousands of these perfectly working little servers (and still good for many tasks!). One idea what they could do instead is perhaps relaunch this with new 500 GB HDDs for ~4 EUR/mo.
They can put 18 SC/XC servers in the same place where 12 old SC servers were running.
Those don't cost 2 EUR or even 6 EUR anymore. The price was hiked to 9 EUR for the cheapest server, along with the 20 EUR setup fee. At this point compared to their current lower end offers the OVH KS-1 seems more attractive.
They have been of great use while it lasted. Guess my monthly online.net bill will drop another €6
Time to give scale way a serious try.
And I just got a message that my server has been suspended for flooding... It's been my dn42 hub pushing around 4,5Mbit/s and never had any issues (tightened, no root login, fail2ban, pubkey login etc.).
They want €19 to unlock it again, that's a lot of time on the cheapest Scaleway...
Do they want 19 euros just to unlock your server? Why?
That unlock shit has been explained in another thread already: they want 19 euros for immediate unlock, or they want you to contact support so they can discuss with you what happened/how to prevent it. Last option is free, but costs some time.
Unlock fee seems to be for when you immediately need your server back because you're losing millions due to it being down.
Can you take a backup, while discussing how to prevent whatsoever? (in case you choose not to pay, I mean)
Hopefully they'll have some specials soon, maybe exclusively for people with kidéchires for a day or two.
KS-1 are super old totally wear out servers. SC are brand new servers with completely new hard drives. KS-1 has just 100 Mbps, SC has 1 Gbps with 2.5 Gbps on local network.
I'm cancelling two kidechires, because it's time to skimp anyway. Too many idle servers!
I use mine just to store backups, could probably save a few bucks by just buying another yearly storage VPS but my kidechire works well and they will have to pry it from my dead body.
I am not affiliated with them in any way, but I think it would be reasonable to ask support to enable your serv so you can pull some backups.
Would require a ticket anyway
Some of us just want a dedi for the privacy and security aspect. But as a bonus we get reliability, in my experience even a single HDD dedi is way more reliable than a VPS node with hundreds of people on it, which goes down from time to time due to other clients or the provider fuckups. So nothing of what you listed matters all that much, I'd be just overpaying for stuff I don't need. "Super old" does not matter because motherboards and CPUs basically don't wear out. The N2800 class CPU (heck, even Via Nano) is more than enough for a personal dedi, even if you run SQL with some web apps on it. And last time I checked they came with pretty new (or even brand new) HDDs.
+1
I can not agree more
when the loss kicks in
I love my kidechire, Sad that they are EOL.
Hoping they will give a good deal for people to migrate off them at some point.
I'd happily rent them from you at double the price :›
@fusl i got a few free you are welcome to.
