Tough call upgrade my old server or pay the setup fee and get a better CPU and more storage space..
I got one. For this price the specs very nice. The upload speed sadly only 100 Mbps, but the 1 Gbps download avesome. However peering is not enough good to abroad.
OVH peering can be seen here https://smokeping.ovh.net/smokeping
I won't be keeping KS-LE-1 as network is atrocious even for kimsufi standards.
New customers or new orders? It says both. Or new orders for new customers only (which is redundant)?
Seems like it should apply to all new orders, even on previously created accounts. Can anyone confirm?

One about 4 months, other around 11-12 days only. So almost brand new
HGST HUH721008ALE601
I created my account a week ago (I wanted to buy a starter VPS in the 12$ yearly offer but it ran to an error). I used the ECOSETUP coupon with success. I payd only the first month fee.
Lucky you. My NVMe says 12,445 hours on one and the other says 23,273 hours
I got 1Gbps up/down though.
which location you got 1Gbps up/down
CA. I think it might be a fluke though. A friend provisioned two servers after me both got 1gbps down and 250 mbps up.
Data disks
2×800 GB SSD SATA
Is the one I got, but when I try to install an OS, it shows 2x 960GB. Is that not up to me to configure?
I guess I got bigger SSDs.
Thank you, and congrats!
Yes, select customize and install on only one disk.
My apologies. I edited my post including a screenshot. It's not 1x but 2x 960GB
If it's jut a matter of 2x800 vs 2x960 , this happens. Configurations can vary , depending of inventory.
Sorry, didn't see you post. Yes, I ran YABS. Here's a fresh one for you:

KS-LE-1 BHS-2. Looks like I got 960 GB SSDs instead of 800.
Here are the 2x SSD of the KS-LE-1.
Here's the SMART info power on hours 1.5 and 2.2 years, shows pre-fail in a lot of areas!
Pre-Fail just marks the specific attribute as usable to detect possible failure in the future. Your disks are perfectly fine, actually barely written, as good as new.
Also, quick question, if I change my mind at some point, like today or tomorrow, and cancel my orders, since they've already been 'setup' or provisioned, I assume I lose the setup fee, but the monthly rate is prorated on refund/cancel?
So if I got KS-LE-1 and paid $18.99 and $18.99 setup, if I cancel now and ask for refund, I will get only $18.99 charged for 1 days of prorated use, so about $17-18 bucks should be refunded?
Or... do they refund setup fee as well if it's within the same day? I'm trying to find their policy on that.
I think I might keep the KS-LE-1 and return the KS-1's and go with a Hetzner 5GB storage box? I'm looking for about 4-5TB of offline storage for cheap.
I thought originally the KS-1 would be good, 2TB disks, but no redundancy. Though on KS-1 I get 8GB RAM and a dual core CPU to do stuff on, which I won't get with Hetzner storage box.
Pros and cons to everything when shopping cheap!
Good luck with getting a refund. It’s like getting blood out a stone!
Typically, with US accounts, getting a refund is very iffy. Its much simple with EU/ IE accounts.
You may be able to request the same as "credit" towards another purchase. YMMV though.
At least on GB accounts, it's automatic if it's within the first 14 days. I'd assume it is for all other EU accounts, too.
Sounds like you guys have good consumer protection laws? US kind of lags in that.
What I want is going to ultimately cost me the same, regardless of where.
2x KS-1 cost me $12/mo
Hetzner 5GB Storage Box is 12 Euro/mo (with exchange stuff fluctuation, could be more, like up to $13-$14)
Which one would be better for offsite remote storage for non critical data, like games iso dumps, dvd game dumps, game roms, mame roms, 100 or so GB music, some home videos (all this is backed up on multiple drives locally as well), in case my drives die, or the impossible happens, all my local stuff is damaged or stolen etc, I can still have a backup online. Critical data will be elsewhere), and non critical data would be there too, but it's secondary offsite backup should be done as well.
Or should I cancel the 2x KS1 or someone here can get them xferred from me, if I decided to return them, (they are in the France center), and go with the Hetzner 5GB storage box for same price?
Or should I keep the KS-1s, put the same data on both servers, AND get a storage box and copy my data there too?
Or am I too paranoid? I am stoned.
you can always have "more" servers for backups (its a plus if you actually use it)

Is network really so trash? how can you have 3MB/s upload to NL and France?
Their Kimsufi cannot add additional IP, but how about the RISE plan, can we add additional IP for RISE dedicated servers? Does any one know

some get some digger disks? I "only"! got the promised 800GB, but I guess It's also a great deal.
