Yeah I wouldnt act on an impulse like that, as educational as it would be.
How did you contact them?
I submitted a ticket in "Support" but no response after several hours.
just ordered one kimsufi from them.
Question for the people that already got the server.
Can you order additional ipv4 for the server ?
Yep I could http://s14.directupload.net/file/d/3328/6ic88s8m_png.htm
Now, I got my first dedicated server, it's provisioned less than one hour. But it's not from OVH, it's from @rds100, FitVPS.
Thanks, I don't have to wait so long for learning how to manage a dedicated server now.
As for the OVH, I will play with it when I have time later
I'm having a vacation (mudik/back to hometown) since the beginning of August 2013, so I will just left all of my server/vps idle until mid of August.
So, selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri for everyone celebrate it.
@ErawanArifNugroho of course, it's not like rds's dedicated sell more than OVH's
There are pros and cons but i would still recommend going with a vps.
The good thing about the ks 2g is the resources are dedicated to you, but that's pretty much about it. IP's are very limited (afaik only one ip per ks 2g), fixed resources, the OVH cough support (you know it), their new strict aup and bandwidth policy (i call that jailed). How can you even host something decent on an atom processor...
VPS's on the other hand will have more benefits imho, now this depends on the provider but for almost the same price or even cheaper, you can get a RAID-10 storage, 1Gbit connection, reliable support, e3/e5 nodes, much less restrictions with AUP/TOS, and no problems with new IP's just provide justification. You want guaranteed resources then go with a provider you can trust or kvm/xen virtualization, need something even cheaper then go with openvz. Not to mention VPS's are upgradable...
@FrapHost You sell VPSs, getting people in your marketing zone is your job.
Now I can run ffmpeg endlessly as long as I want, though it may be 40% slower than on a VPS, but there will be no dick head stop me encoding anymore
Di nman pre konti p lng, hehe.. delikado pa ata ung na order namin. hayhay
I think the kimsufis are good for 2 things:
Max CPU use without disturbing others.
Dedicated hard drive for storage.
Those are probably the only pros that it offers.
TOR Servers are not allowed... oh noes
@chauffer not to mean in any bias, just think about it.
The i5 Kimsufi also offers great CPU performance. IO then no. Network then no. As Mao said, that one is more interesting.
Those are exactly the two reasons I have dedis. If I wanted performance, I'd go to one of the better VPS providers.
Oh yeah you can certainly host a lot. Lighttpd + PHP FastCGI + XCache, it's an ideal platform for hosting a small website, blog or forum. If you don't get hundreds or thousands of visitors in a minute, it will handle things more than fine.
There is also the privacy advantage, if you disable the OVH SSH key and their RTM system, they can't look at the contents of your server without causing significant (and noticeable) disruption. Whereas with VPSes a provider could just easily access all your data, a matter of simply "vzctl enter" in the OpenVZ glass house, a bit more involved in KVM/Xen but still possible in an absolutely stealth way.
Does AUP mention anything about Tor? Because you know, some people do run Tor middle nodes in OVH without any problem.
Just got in contact with ovh and this is the response of me asking ETA on setup time.
What does this even mean? I'm confused as its been 19 hours and nothing has happend.
Well, here in Western Europe we still have the 26th of July and not the 29th. So you will have to wait at least 3 days.
What gets to me about this is that we have like a dozen of people here, and on LEB IRC, who have already received their 3 EUR servers. The trick is, they ordered not from the french website, but from some other one. And OVH did in fact confirm the available stock was partitioned between regional sites. FR ran out the fastest, so sucks to be us who ordered from FR after that, now will have to wait till Monday at the very least...
I ordered from UK, and samething.
They said wait time is 1-10 days now. Everyone should see:

No shit?
Well do the maths.
Based on the response on this thread...I would say....probably that's something you could wish for
I'd agree with you that when it comes to putting up a serious website, I'd opt for a plan like BizXen from @Prometeus, but for a backup server, this serves more than good.
Plus, how many providers here that would provide real-time scaling of resources when needed?
@azzavps
VPS node better uptime? You must be kidding. How many times has OpenVZ needed a kernel upgrade in the last few months (security, anyone)?
A 'serious' website can be fine on a €3 dedicated server, the I/O is as good as the average VPS provider (~130MB/s) - network is good, maybe not Gbit, but not everyone needs that.
UnixBench performs ~800 - that's more than good for most things an average LEB user does, and anyway, I doubt your provider would like you using more than what the Atom offers in CPU power.
It depends. I will use mine (I'm still on verification, they want a lot of paperwork) for backup only.
Think of ks2g as a network attached hard drive and its pretty cheap and useful for that purpose. A real nas hdd costs around 100 eur and thats without electricity and network costs. Average lifetime of a hdd is probably 3 years. So 3 eur/month for ks2g is a no brainer for someone needing a cheap nas available from everywhere as its about the same as buying an external hdd. I have 10 externsl hdds that i dont even use but ks2g is much more useful.
So, no additional (failover) IP addresses for the new Kimsufi servers? Looks like they disabled the menu item. It's still there on my older Kimsufi but not on the 4G they delivered yesterday. In addition to this, I also cannot route an existing failover IP to the new 4G. WTF.
guys where can i shoot an a email to contact OVH? thanks.
