Lol. The last time I tried getting a better than Celeron cpu, it took 5 tries. In the end though, can't even tell the performance difference.
He's a HF member, so you can see his dilemma.
Incidentally, I haven't been asked for any sort of ID.
i dont think i'll ever go back to OVH after datashack/dacentec/hetzner
And any of those hosts offer a Dual core Atom, 2 gigs RAM, 5 TB Bandwidth and a nice 500 gig hard drive for $13 a month?
Yep, and datashack/dacentec aren't in Europe, and Hetzner's lowend offers suck.
Okay so anyone who already got one, can you check if the 5 TB transfer limit is calculated from incoming+outgoing or maybe some one direction only? Because in French it says "5 TB out", with no other suggestions by google translate

Depends on what you need it for. The disk I/O is good, but not so much the CPU.

I actually hoped for a decent CPU but as I can see now, I didn't get it. Too bad.
Let's see what this box can handle though.
I was hoping he will do what he said, stay away from the evil, but I guess turns out I was the naive one
got mine... not much lucky...
ordered via paypal, sent papers and receipt of credit card (i dont know if its ok or bad to send cc receipt)
CPU model : Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU 230 @ 1.60GHz
Number of cores : 2
couldnt figure out how to find the harddisk model
i will install torrent, i think there is not much restrictions besides irc ...
I don't think there is a restriction on IRC, but you might have to go into the Manager and manually open ports for it.
^^^ so can anyone answer this? Basically find where you have the bandwidth counter, "xx of 5 TB bandwidth" and check if it increases both when you download and when upload stuff, or not.
hdparm -i /dev/sda
thanks @rds100, i just started to reinstall os ( just for security
),
i just learned that its not like a ovz reinstall
ill try when it gets ready.
btw how much it takes to reinstall?
(do they install manually?, i can access to server..)
@rm_
At the minute all I can find is on the Summary page on the manager
Then on the traffic page it has both current,average and maximum entry and exit but it does not list a total that I can see.
Reinstalls are fairly easy with their panel. Lots of options for basic installations or you can try the vKVM and load a ISO via URL. Basically just a few clicks and you're done for the most part.
Consumed this month:
Remaining this month:
Well it supposed to list totals here. Maybe they still don't have accounting in place, like on the Micro VKSes
Thanks.
should i reboot the server to start install?
its stuck at "Reinstallation initialization "
edit: started to roll...
(dont you love it when noobs come in a rush and ask every single thing 
)
Yeah, I've been getting that this morning too. Probably just an issue on their side. Normally that part lasts maybe 2 minutes and the whole install of debian6 in 20 minutes.
Where do you get these prices in dollars? If I go on OVH.com they are in Euro (which is about 88$ for the SP 2 instead of 69,99$. They are also available in Beauharnois, QC, Canada
(which is about 100 km from where I live)
Do they really require you to send a scan of your ID via email? Isn't there an option to upload it via HTTPS or something?
@Maounique said: I also noticed that a couple of days ago, or maybe even 3. London remains blank.

Update London url in your bench script to:
Win I guess.
A few years ago I tried to get something from them, that was the procedure.
Looks like it didnt change much :P
Maybe will need to send you via snail mail in the future.

It's not mine anyway, i would probably need to send my boss's ID since his name is on the company credit card
But still sending such documents over emails sounds stupid.
It is stupid period. I can fake any name and address, this is like you have shop and you put at the door a requirement to enter to give your SSN while nobody cross-checks if it is yours or not. Will put off legit ppl while thieves will have no problem with that.

I blurred out basically anything that wasn't my name+address on my documents that I sent over. Went over fine with them.
@tridinebandim I didn't see that you replied to me. You were accepted instantly. You don't need to send them anything. You probably already figured this out, though
thanks for reply @lzp
i got in touch with support about vat, they wanted me to sign a document and send a bill that has my name and address on it, and said they are waiting this documents to go
further and set the server. in 1-2 hours after document sent, they set the server.
it was a nice experience: french site, dedicated server ordering ...
The most interesting experience I had was when I was ordering a VPS from CityNetHost (Egypt), felt like an international terrorist or something, entering my credit card details at the "Bank of Misr" website, with a logo in Arabic script.
Can anyone order this, or do I have to be EU/UK/US citizen?
