Looks great with that price
It's the setup fees that always bug me about these things.
Grabbed one for testing..
Dealing with some network issue with support at the moment, will provide more details later.
Set up fees on top of that absurd amount they charge for accepting PayPal. No thanks.
I want try, but setup fee make me not to try :v
I experince got bad network at DC2 online.net.
Definitely, especially when you are unsure about the CPUs abilities. The benchmark is pretty low and I doubt you can really use that SSD with the CPU, but won't find out because just to try that one needs to pay 20€+8,99€ (+VAT).
So yep, it's a pity, but it seems they can still sell them pretty good, so there won't be any change I guess.
But 1Gbit guaranted BW make good offer for this deal
1- They backtracked on the "fees"
2- PayPal isn't even available if you weren't already an old customer
I guess it depends on your use case, because with the amount of included bandwidth, SSD can come handy
I just order XC SSD 2016 with paypal.
I'll give some benchmark
If setup fee less,will give a try.
Which SSD model is installed out there ? Still Samsung PM871 ?
Dedibox XC SSD 2016
HDD info:
Test to ping.online.net to /dev/null
Network card
Well 18 of these seem to share
4x2x 2.5GB/s, correct me if I am wrong.We are talking about SC here !
Sorry, but network are same.
How about the SSD drive in SC ?
Last two with HDD available !
Grab it bro
Last one Dedibox XC SSD 2016 (I got one ;P)
One chassis with 18 servers has 2x10Gbit/s uplink.
Thats what arnaud said yesterday in the IRC.
darn i missed the HDD offer!
LoL I like their IPKVM already..
WELCOME TO TTY.ONLINE.NET
Press enter..
It's not a KVM it's a console (TTY) - it won't show anything when the system boots ;(
Figure out that wasn't KVM right after... whey their said it's a "KVM over IP" lol?
KVM is like the Dedibox XC 2015 had. Perfect tool to manage the server and solve all the problems. That one is even unable to type commands properly adding "n" each second !
The setup fee is too high because there is no setup - it's automated.
I can understand charging a setup fee if a tech has to go out to the racks and set things up, but when the setup is completely automatic (the Online.net control panel even emphasises this when you order a new server - it says "my server was delivered in 4 minutes!" or something) then it seems a bit money-grabbing to charge setup.
I guess they have a lot of people who buy these servers and cancel, and the setup fee subsidises the low monthly price of the servers.
They also had to rack these servers - it's not completely automated. I guess it's to try and stop people buying them for a month and then cancelling.
This is just a way to avoid people only wanting to grab a server for a month or two. In large companies, this can lead to receive the demand for tons of servers when you release them and in some months only the actual clients, those who really need the service will stay. And then, the company sit with tons of unused servers...
Standard LET report:
Network is decent, haven't test the CPU yet but really interesting to see what Atom + VT-x will look like.
Brand new HDD, desktop grade, SATA2 mode.
Network switch wasn't working at delivery. Ticket support and phoned them, those guys barely speaking English over the phone lol. But pretty efficient to deal with the ticket, basically I caught up into a network switch incident.
Few hours later incident was resolved and I am able to initialize my server. Their custom control panel is really good besides they always want to up-selling something. Optional tipping to customer services when closing ticket is interesting to me. I am pretty surprised with the quality of support I am getting overall.
Will let it spin for a month and see if it beats my precious KS-1.
More HW details, custom MB made for online.net, BIOS version is so new.
FIBRE nic***????? fibRE? or fibER**?
