Country: Paris - FR

wish this was in north america
Apparently they can request this:
Take a picture of yourself holding a valid photo ID. (ex. Driving License, Passport)
In addition to the photo ID, please also provide a picture of yourself holding the same Credit Card used to pay the invoice.
Dunno if for all new users with a credit card, or from suspicious countries only.
Better just pay your order with Paypal (which IIRC they also support) to avoid such hassle.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Indeed, with PayPal, they just ask you to click on a link sent to your verified PayPal address.
This way used by OVH.. Even if purchase $1 domain.
Oneprovider not asking for ID and other paperwork as well know.
Confirmed. Paypal payment is faster. Not the delivery. But for the delivery its not a problem (im not in a hurry).
They just did, for a friend of mine ordering this special.
@iamthepizza for your initial question, on this plan the "guaranteed bandwidth" is 250 Mbps https://documentation.online.net/en/dedicated-server/offers/old/server-dedibox-dc-dell
In Online.net terms it means nobody will bother you if you average less than that.
Cheers. Yeah, just had to confirm via email.
$10.69 USD/mo. Will give it a shot for a month and see how it is, hopefully good replacement for my kidechires that were cancelled.
Ok, I'll bite. Might even be able to replace a couple of dedis with this if it's decent.
Why do I come to this site everyday? I just bought one of these deals. I didn't really need it but I guess it can replace my EOL Online.net SC. Verification was just the PayPal email confirmation as above.
cpu can handle one plex stream? @nekki any idea?
Based on Plex own recommendations, you should be good for a single 1080p transcoded stream with that CPU.
pretty much this, hopefully it's good that way it can replace the special ks2 i have for 7.99euro
Just ordered one. Damn it!
they want a picture while you holding the credit card, any idea how will i hold my virtual credit card?
Thanks @iamthepizza good for a seedbox...
If you're not doing video transcodes, then I'd say 2-4 streams with direct stream/audio transcodes without too much of an issue (as long as they're staggered). Direct play would be more, basically just capped by ram + network at that point.
I had a Kimsufi i3 for Plex way back and that worked great for 2+ years, would just choke when my less tech-savvy friends didn't tweak their settings to do direct play always and would inevitably do transcodes from 3Mbps 720p to 1Mbps 720p or 480p kind of thing.
Wow that is quite a deal with two 1TB drives. Ordered one as well, I wonder why online doesn't sell this directly if it is from them.
Edit: Strange, I got the fraud prevention thing too with paypal, even though I have an account that previously had servers with them. Must be a new blanket policy for everyone.
Any idea what the delivery time is usually like for OP? I saw mention of three days, but haven't heard of any experiences thus far.
lets just add this phrase to the header here
Do they want you to take a picture while holding your Paypal?
Their verification policy seems simple enough:
Seemingly not. I've never been asked to take a picture while holding an ID/CC or whatever. If I ever was I'd just ask for my money back and tell them to fuck off. I don't think any service provider needs a picture of me with my ID/CC, that is just weird. I'm fine with scanning the CC/ID though for some places.
Get a piece of paper and write "My Credit Card" on it and take pic, perfect!
Just hit up their support and let them know the issue and I'm sure they'll have another way of verifying you (or pay with Paypal if possible).
"3 days" doesn't count verification day, and they don't have a problem using their 4 business days.
Ordered one as well. All they asked was I veryify my email. Might be because my paypal was verified though.
This is not an X-Files episode though
That is correct it is the Twilight Zone!!
Do they provide IPv6?
and from the FAQ:
buyer beware
Isn't that obvious for a $10 dedicated server that you can't really consume bandwidth for $400 ?
