I wish I would have seen this deal earlier. I ended up just getting the mks 2G for now.
Ok the last email was to say sorry but you will have to pay for it.
So no ip, just some excuse.
me too deadend
Well for what ever it's worth it's still a good deal even without the IP, considering that my n2800 feels just a little underpowered this might be just right..
Still waiting for mine to be set up thought this is the second day! they emailed me in the morning saying my server should be set-up in a couple of hours but still no server??
Hey guys, I have a server with OVH with following specs:
Kimsufi limited edition
CPU: Q6600
RAM: 4GB DDR2
HDD: 1TB
Cost: £19.99 per month
They don't do this server anymore.
I wont be needing this anymore so if someone wants it, you can but you will have to tell me how do I transfer it.
Thanks.

I also got this one and its tha bomb. I think I have 500GB though but ddr3(not100%sure)
I think that CPU don't support DDR3.
If anyone is interest to know about their Motherboard at OVH..
The E2180 Pentium:
N2800 Atom:
I wonder what they are going to choose now that Intel stopped making boards..
OVH is really frustrating at how slow they are!!
Just ordered a USB Key and a fail over IP and they take so long!! they also don't allow you to order more than 1 fail over IP at a time, so now I have to wait for them to provision my IP before I can order another one!!
They attach a USB Key to your server so you can use as a back up space, or you can install the OS on the USB key..
It's cheap enough, they also offer external drives 2 TB Drives, but I think this cost too much!
USB Disk
USB Key
Were you successful on installing vmware for the E2180? I don't think it will work because it is lacking Intel vt..
you can install XEN for sure. But dont expect much ...
Just for fun I installed a CT in my USB Key:
dd if=/dev/zero of=iotest bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync && rm -fr iotest
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 364.062 seconds, 2.9 MB/s
It appears to be a Kingston dt 101 g2.
Under Summary in manager v3 for my Les Bons Plans KIMSUFI E2180 it sayes
Traffic: unlimited
In the normal 2G i have it sayes
Monthly traffic: 5.00 TiB per month
Is that normal ?
Yes.
I've been periodically checking Kimsufi to see if they restocked the special or if they have a new offer but it seems it's been completely sold out since the last time I bought it!
Anyone bought the Atom D425 special? curious on how slow it is compared to the n2800?
My guess is that some weeks/months down the road a new special will appear there, with different specs and maybe a different DC. So someone please keep an eye on that page
Well it is slower, sure.
D425 is single-core + HT (2 virtual cores);
N2800 is dual-core + HT (4 virtual cores).
Per-core performance should be about the same. So for typical highly parallel tasks like web serving and databases, it's safe to say the D425 will be about 2x slower.
But for 10 EUR/mo for 4GB of RAM and 2TB disk (a great backup server), it is/was an awesome deal no matter what.
That's exactly it the 4GB and 2TB is really attractive @10 euro p/m it's the CPU I think is too slow..
while my n2800 is a tad slow I think it's still acceptable considering I only pay 9.99 euro.
I'm anxiously waiting for a new deal to come up! something with at least 4GB of ram
The new deal is up again! Remember the old "KS24G" ? ha
Processeur Intel Core i7 920 4x 2.66 GHz (8 Mo de cache)
Architecture 64 bits
NIC FastEthernet
Mémoire vive 24 Go
Disque 2 To
34.99€ HT /Mois
(SOIT 41.85€ TTC) *
yeah and you have to commit to 12 months! Which equals 419.88€ HT
@wahyan nicely spotted
But this one is not for me, and tbh does not seem too attractive,
"what use is 24 GB of RAM for you, Mr.Anderson, when you have just one HDD?" (c)
and just one IP included, heh.
Are you sure it's only one HDD? Even 4G has two ...
@vedran what exactly from http://www.kimsufi.com/fr/bons_plans/index.xml makes you think there is more than one HDD?
Nothing makes me think there is one or two, it would make more sense if it was two. They don't even have 2TB disks in their standard offer and everything over 4GB has two.
@wahyan, Thanks for sharing.. but it's a bit steep for me, If I prepay a year @ €419.99 and the euro goes up next year I would be SOL!! on top of that I would still have to pay for the IP's!
I think at this price I would rather buy the ovh.ca KS 2 server, you get less ram and cpu but 2x hard drive.
If you expect Euro to go up, it makes sense to prepay for as much things as possible in Euro right now, while it's cheaper. -- Or do you mean for the year after that; well, then you could just cancel the server after a year if it becomes no longer cost-effective.
But I agree there are better offers than this server altogether.
The previous Kimsufi line only had single disks, with the 16G and 24G both having a single 2TB disk.
Holy crap, this would be a nice offer if it weren't for that.
Well I just mean cause euro is not my main currency so I'm always concern about the exchange rate.. I would hate after setting up my server and all is running for over a year I have to move cause euro is too expensive when it comes time to renew..
Also I would rather just buy a new dell server outright and colo it then pay €419.99 to OVH..
