Its nice for 60 euro but the Hetzner AX52 destroys it and slightly cheaper
With this one, I'm just upgrading a Black Friday server I got from OVH 2 years ago, so the CPU is considerably better for roughly the same price. Some services that I host have to stay on the same floating IPs, so they'll be on OVH for eternity.
But AX52 comes with 1TB NVME and OVH offers 2x more storage
Still wanting to see a SYS-LE-1 yabs, ive requested a few times here but assume no one bought it
Shocking CPU, considering you can get (or try) a KS-2 for significantly less. I thought it was the same as the SYS-2 to be fair.
Yeah haha thats half the reason i wanted to compare (To the LE-B) the SYS 1 seems REALLY bad for the price
can you tell more info about this floating IP?
I googled and seems that ovh ads tell about "floating IP for cloud instance" only.
By floating you mean that you:
1) Bought two years ago "additional IP" for your old-server.
2) Now you bought new server.
3) reattach that "additional IP" from old to new?
Or I am mistaken and "additional IP" != "floating IP"?
Or you somehow reattached "main IP" (that comes out-of-the-box) from old server to new one?
I hope theres another kind of deal for BF or maybe cyber monday
Anyone with LE-B with NVMe disks in EU DC that want to sell it, please PM me.
Btw, congrats on my first post
Should I wait or should I go for the SYS-LE-2?
gonna lose my mind if rise-le-3 doesn't restock
There is no doubt that this was OVH marketing with KS-A which is OK to make marketing, but taking money from customers then cancel and refund, and do the same again is kind of weird!
Btw, soon is end of the year and OVH have to publish the revenue for press release how much they did earned, and that's the reason why are they doing this with KS-A servers!
Put them available, hundered of thousends of paid orders, after some days cancel all, fill the graph for end of the year for press release "success" story for their investors/banks whatever!

Pretty sure that the amount of orders and money involved is not really significant. Do you even know the OVH numbers? Even 10k orders would barely be noticeable and on the next report it would make them look even worse. So stop your conspiracy crap. They just fked up reporting on-time availability with all the orders and the 2nd time was a confirmed bug in the system. They don’t care about your 5$.
Show me the proof of their "bug" stated from their side! They do care it's 10€ per server including setup fees x thousands and get the end report!
For a company like OVH (which has many DCs in many countries), ten euros* 10000 orders = 100000 euros.
For me it is a large sum but for them maybe daily income. (ok, maybe weekly)
It's still an income, in which they will show only on graph in press release, and i am pretty sure they will repeat the same with KS-A. Just wait a little bit, otherwise they would not put back on their api list.
There was clearly a bug with the API when the KS-A restocked multiple times on the 19th, there is even a confirmed incident for it: https://bare-metal-servers.status-ovhcloud.com/incidents/9m2zgpz8dv6q
It was taken off the API to prevent more orders while they fixed the bug. I refer you to the comment that @Wolf made about conspiracies.
It also wouldn't be classed as income, as the refunds would balance the books against it.
Someone posted this some pages back https://bare-metal-servers.status-ovhcloud.com/incidents/9m2zgpz8dv6q
Yeah they are also known as Additional IPs or Failover IPs, which just means you can move between different OVH servers (excluding the Kimsufi range). I believe OVH started calling them "Additional IPs" in recent years.
OVH statically routes the main IP for servers, so it can never be moved. It's extremely annoying since I'm still paying OVH almost $90/month for an ancient 4790K server that OVH refuses to adjust the price of, just because I need to keep the main IP. That same server is $14.40 in the current Kimsufi flash sale.
We'll talk later on when they put back the same "api issue" on KS-A in coming days. Stay tuned.
Since interestingly the "api issues" was only on KS-A restock not the other KS-LE-B etc.
What do you need that exact IP for? In 2024 and for almost 40 years, we rely on DNS to avoid precisely what you're describing.
As I understand it, nowadays, on ovh.com/manager, we can buy "Additional IP" and "Park it" even for the KS range (at least I tried that on the KS-LE-* model that I have now).
Thanks for your reply. Today, I learned something new!
@Cybr
i had 4790k many years ago (game line)
For example, I have a lot of home-based routers where I set up ACL with my IP.
So I can access that router only from 1-2-3 IP, and if my IP changes, I should ask people "inside LAN" to "please start any desk blah-blah" and edit the rule.
Sure, I can change, but it will take some time. Maybe Cybr has more serious stuff or something like that.
This isn't hostsolutions.
Maybe try googling, what a "fiscal year" is and when that end report you mention actually happens
hint: their reports are publicly available, the one for FY2024, which ended Aug, 31st, too.
New week starts tomorrow, everyones getting a KS-A delivered soon
They have Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4, whilist the last report is expected to be 26 of December 2024. It's OVH so, you never know how things works there.
