It's cheaper than my backup VPS, has double diskspace and I can use it for whatever I want, so this rocks.
Like a vps you need to respect their TOS
Don't forget the location and latency related to it. Most of the vps offers on the market are hosted on more powerful cpu than this offer. That's a good offer but you have to keep in mind the cpu specifications.
My sites will stay hosted with Iniz. For the exact reasons you just told me
Yes, that's true, but we have to share the more power cpu with others (perhaps 20-30 of them?) when renting a vps. What we really get might be less than an dedicated Atom cpu.
And an Atom cpu should be more than enough for a small website (like lowendbox), smtp server, and vpn, right?
Yes.
For host1free, yes, the cpu share is less than an atom, however, almost any other VPS I saw has better cpu, maybe low 128 and below ones to be worse.
Of course, we are talking about a regular host, not a junk one. If ppl had a very bad OVZ experience, an atom dedi would feel fast, but for most informed ones that choose their hosts right, an atom dedi will be slower, at times even slower than the 4 threads ones because OVZ scales when you need CPU.
Also, the "feel faster" factor will be much improved on an OVZ because the disk will be much faster, in average, because we have raid there or even SSD, something 3 Eur atoms will not have.
That's enough for sure...
Regarding the cpu power, normally it's pretty rare that ALL VPS need the full power at the same time... It always depends on your needs. On my side, if I need cpu power, I don't buy atom dedicated
Another thing is that you've got only 1 hdd with this offer from OVH. All well known VPS companies right now on the market use raid configurations to save customers a** if something wrong happen. Many of them also offering backup solution in case of issues... You don't have that with OVH offer.
I'm not trying to say that it's good or not, that's only my points regarding the differences offered by VPS companies and OVH kimsufi offers... Keep in mind that you need to buy regarding your own needs and not mine or anyone else
Apparently OVH DDOS protection is so sensitive that you really can't host anything at OVH anymore, at least not game servers doing UDP.
Simple PING and Traceroute 2 times was enough to block access from RBX KS server to GRA KS server. There's no management option in managerv3 to allow IPs to go through again.
I'm completely blocked out for over 8 hours now for accessing one new KS2G server.
Here's an example..
All I did was run a ping 1-2 times for less than 1 minute and traceroute 1 time
and it got the source address blocked.
I can reach the KS2G outside OVH fine.
@xset happend to me also, its realy pissing me off
@infinity580 make a ticket
No it isn't, you CAN sell at loss in the EU.
The fix they'll probably suggest is to add a professional use subscription and a virtual rack.
Ah.. and i don't understand what happens to u both guys... i had been off & on lately so didn't see when u & @Jarland locked ur horns.. :P
Come'on don't get too engaged.. and even if u guys lock horns.. take a deep breath.. relax.. step-back and ask ur gf's to polish the horns. They shud be good at it making u continue in good mood
Stop blowing this out of the god damn proportion already, turn your whine down from eleven.
1) of course they are still tuning it, it's still in beta.
2) does your "hosting of serious and distributed" neccessarily include high UDP packet rate? Oh no it doesn't, and you would just use TCP connections? So where is the problem then even right now?
so the bottomline is OVH Orders from clients in Asialand will be Terminated??
@domainbop virtual rack is not available for mini-sps nor kimsufi... starting only at EG series.. 2 x price..too much for what I need.
@rm_ Perphaps you didn't read everything. Simple 2 pings, 1 traceroute was enough to block access, not using any UDP. It might have been triggered during UDP from other hosts, but from my host no UDP.
And having Beta product in production usage -- simply makes any production use unusable
They are in tests with the firewall and what best guinea pigs if not these ultracheap atoms ?
It was to be expected, however, almost free DDoS protection would be such a great step forward if they do it right, that it is worth some pain in the process.
@maounique Perhaps yes, but I've read it affects everyone by default, but I asked them to clarify it. Anyhow, until they're ready for production, I'll wait & see.
@xset Those are not production servers though
That is why it so cheap, we are test subjects.... I hate this, i thought i could take over the world with my little atom haha
Yes they are?
@Bogdacutuu @Jack I wouldn't consider production server a dirt-cheap server without any kind of redundancy whatsoever
@chauffer we'll I asked about what if affects and where, we'll learn more in a few days.
I dont call KS servers production servers either. But mini-sps yes, and if they're affected, then that's bad.
well honestly, they have to test it to set it properly, as @Maounique said, it might be worth the effort... as long as it doesn't get too annoying.
@jack No, SBG had 24 h delivery time, RBX had 72 hours, I chose SBG because of the delivery time.
@xset then perhaps it might be affected too, not sure but the network should be the same
@zen There's no way to opt-out of their ddos protection. It's not only a filtering solution, but a blocking solution. It seems to filter only those source addresses that were involved during the false flood period... traceroute shows no filtering vacuums outside OVH unless you're filtered = blocked. Same for internal traffic.
@chauffer I also wonder if it affects servers in same DC...
