I think most idlers (or customers) are from LET.... we care more about lottery and surprises than anything else.
Their biggest competitor is Hetzner IMO
I think @alexhost dedicated servers are very competitive
Can someone sponsor me so I can book a trip to France and ask Octave for some KS-32
@gigahost
I mean I will prefer GigaHost save the money so he can launch some GH-32 for us instead
@FAT32 thats why you have bad luck with women
always 2nd opinions
take your first chance .... and try
Intel Z600 Atom 32 Bit CPU for $32 a month just for you
Comes with 4GB ram and 1x250GB HDD drive. Highspeed 10Mbps network.
Very interesting development...
I would have killed for one of these in the 90s!
This is a good step. I didn't like setup fees.
Then again, who does?
best thing in late 90's
are you ancient like me?
for example do you know
For eco servers (esp. kimsufi) the main competitor is strato/united internet atm, not hetzner anymore. Same with vps.
With the new vps offers, ovh is running ahead again in the vps sphere, with kimsufi dedis without setup fees they now run ahead again in the dedi sphere so let's see how strato (or ionos) will react.
I was watching that show when the CPU of the KS-LE-1 was modern!
The KS-5 with 32G and NVMe are all gone now except in Canada, should I pay my invoice then? I don't expect to get any lotto on a regular KS like this, so maybe not...
Worth trying the lottery..
That's just wishful thinking.
OVH has gone back and forth a lot with this and even their constant offer changes lately feel very ... experimental.
Anyways I wouldn't bet on the 'no-setup' being permanent at all.
They will reintroduce setup fees seconds shortly before I plan to order an Eco server, that is for sure.
In the past time OVH and netcup introduced strong offers. Seems to be that OVH tries to be the number one on the European market.
However it seems to be that Hetzner not competitor for OVH as they increased their prices and OVH offers drasticaly better price/performance ratios on the same range.
I'll be interested in BlackFriday offers as the setup-fee removed offers are new products, not a promotional code or other. I hoppe that OVH introduces the no setup fee times. It will more increases the volume of orders in promotional times and idling servers.
They only remove the fee, to attract monthly payment. As a moment, less people buying. If a deal commes, they add fee, to attract buying for a longer time.
Any lottery or luck with KS-1/KS-4/KS-5 ?
Or they give an unique good offer without setup fee, lots of people order, and most of them keep it idling. And for 13 euro with VAT KS-LE-B or Mystery for 30 Euro with VAT is the price where people do not cancel it, if not required keep it idling or try to transfer it. Easy situation, LE models and good special deals often run out quickly and 5--10 people look for it after the promotion start. Requirement always higher than the offer and when see cheap prices people order 2 or more.
So I think OVH will not introduce setup fee, the low-end models that are primarily for France market and LET less profitable but they have enough business customers and users out of this forum. High number of my friends own dedi servers and they usualy skip the limited edition offers as they do not have enough time to migrate to them for normaly priced ones. Low number of users use IaC or other DevOps related tools to migrate easily.
When I saw that LE-1 offered with 300 Mbps for 10 euros with SSD and RAM lottery I ordered it and after 2--3 hours all of my data, instances migrated to it.
The cheap servers are idling or requires effort to get out the maximum of them.
Mean while KS-B & KS-C still have 120GB Storage Space
which kidney you want to donate?
Has OVH genuinely abolished installation fees entirely?
Or is this merely a temporary promotion?
One day we will know
