I guess it could be interesting for some folks here.

Thoughts?

I'm not gonna buy anything personally. They seem like a decent company but I have no need for a dedi and I stopped idling stuff long ago...

Read date.

serv_ee · October 2020

Ah yeah, my bad.

suricloud · October 2020

So it is not recuring for renewals ?

From what I understand, if you already have a server it won't work for its renewal. However new orders are getting 50% lifetime discount, incl renewals? Otherwise lifetime discount doesn't make sense.

If it's really 50% lifetime discount, damn, those are really nice prices. Competing with Hetzner.

Shot2 · October 2020

Costly ipmi, retarded IPv6 and rescue system - I wouldn't trust them much. I pass

atomi · October 2020

I hope these will push OVH to upgrade their networks. Kimsufi with 100Mbps and SoYouStart with 250Mbps are so outdate today when so many are providing 1Gbps dedis

suricloud · October 2020

How is their network compared to online.net and hetzner?

Neoon · October 2020

Interesting.

The RPi4 was 9.99 before, now its 4.99.
Tomorrow it should be 2.49? dang.

But the rest does not look like much.

2.49 for an IPv6-only glorified toaster, meh.

Well, Offline.net 1.99 Price hikes are near, be prepared.

It seems people don't like to talk about IKOULA why?

Thank you it now became very clear

Wait, ikoula speaks chinese and has a hostloc provider account?

Hostloc is where the money is. (in case you ever wondered why scam operations all start from LA location)

Edit 2: Oh, and huge credit to the guys at Hostloc who knew how RackNerd was connected to AlphaRacks years months ago. It only got confirmed in august this year.

Does anyone know if they accept personal hardware (GPU) for Dedi? Their GPU spec is unusable...
