not valid for kimsufis
It works for BHS Kimsufi servers
lol their promo code is APOCALYPSE
Why don't you just provide free servers ovh?
Ah stupid coupon. 50% off first month? Weak sauce
Pretty good prices to start with and a half price month... That's getting more tempting.
Wish they did rent to own.
Other than @Jeffrey, anyone else have a server at this new facility?
I've been very happy with my dedicated server, need two more VPS orders to fill it all up.
OVH uses highly custom racks with water cooling directly to each mobo/CPU, you can't "own" what you would usually expect, because there might be no rackable server as such.
That's interesting @rm_. Didn't realize that
I think that is only for their "cloud" though.
Killer photos Wondering if that is water cooling or if it's glycol or similar. Their pool looks very green.
Nah, it's exactly how they can offer all those 10 EUR/mo dedis. And since the technology is already there, they probably use it for many/most more expensive servers as well.
Iffy @rm_. Water cooling still tends be somewhat exotic. Not tons of folks doing it. The cooling liquid is a big ongoing cost. Straight water, probably not using that for many reasons.
The $10 dedis seem to be atoms and celerons which liquid cooling would cost more than than the server itself -- well at least a big portion. Neither CPU is particularly heavy on the BTU output. Can't see them throwing cash at those like that.
"OVH cannot be held liable should the end of the world be postponed"
I got the BHS Kimsufi special, Just tried to get another with the coupon, no-go
Paypal only :-(
Title should say 5 days not hours.
"Enjoy the power of OVH's global network! Until december 21 2012 at midnight, choose one or more dedicated server(s) hosted at BHS, our North American data center and get 50% off for the first month by providing the promo code "APOCALYPSE" during your order."
Just got a 16GB KS so I can migrate from OVH FR to OVH US...
Much less latency, and hopefully better support
@Andre, What's the monthly on the 16GB KS end up being in Canada?
@pubcrawler -
$24.5 first month, $49 month thereafter
Used to pay 49.8 EUR monthly [inc VAT], which is roughly 65.51 USD monthly for my old FR KS.
(The old server setup no longer exists after they revised their plans however)
@Andre, did you see the OVH offer that is $10 more?
SP 1 Intel I5 - 3570S 4 / 4 3.1 GHz / 3.8 GHz 16 GB 2x 2TBSATA2 MORE
$59 .00
That's a 100Mbps offer too, as opposed to the 5TB/mo transfer...
Yes @pubcrawler, the KS 2 [the one I purchased] also has 100Mbps, it's limited to 10Mbps after using 5TB/mo, isn't it?
https://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-servers/kimsufi2.xml
Didn't want to pay the extra $10/mo because
A) it's OVH
it's actually for my Minecraft server
and C) I've got a limited budget
No problem @Andre makes sense.
For the uninformed, why the no OVH or OVH dislike?
Assuming the two companies are tightly knitted if not the same entity Plans look identical. Does Kimsufi actually staff folks in Canada?
Well @pubcrawler, the dislike is their [lack of] support, and how they'll terminate your server if it has a DDoS attack once, that lasted 30 minutes. (This is with an OVH SP2 server, Xeon, 32GB RAM, + Cisco ASA5505 firewall)
You are right about them being the same entity, but I assume that all KS support tickets just have a lower priority than OVH service related tickets.
