I renewed my VPS-1 for 1 year to avoid the new prices. It worked.
https://www.reddit.com/r/VPS/comments/1qem7py/my_new_ovh_vps_ip_is_on_a_blacklist/
Maybe they solved the issue in the meantime...
Hmmmm
when they increased prices due to 'energy price increase', they failed to reduce prices back down for renewals, only new orders. That left a sour taste in my mouth. I did manage to get them to credit the difference, backdated, for a new server. but I'm now more cautious about contract lengths with them.
The email says "2026 VPS", How do you know if you have a 2026 VPS?
I bought one at the end of 2025 and is $4.90 a month, does that mean I'm safe (for now at least)?
No. The VPS 2025 and VPS 2026 are the same
Incoming mail, can anyone do. But they had issue even with incoming, now I am not pretty sure if it was banned by the provider, I know that some important emails never arrived on their network. Not even a tiny log. 🤣
Will Kimsufi follow this? Fingers crossed.
Some other emails stated that Kimsufi and Soyoustart servers will not be affected. Let's see.
guys, you can still commit dedis to old pricing, i did a 24 month commit
no way its getting cheaper anytime soon
it seems you can even commit VPS, but I think it's displaying new pricing there? Not sure
Edit: Nah I think it's showing old pricing but without the discount, €4.78 a month ex.vat for VPS-1 on 6 months and €4.32 for 12 months
Damn, they cannot do this:
Scale-a4 - Gen3:
current price: $700/month
new price: $701/month
Time to move elsewhere.
Ups, sorry, wrong thread. Moved here: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4739334/#Comment_4739334
Going to be an interesting few years, now that only 1 in 20 drives see the consumer market and some disk manufactorers being sold out already until the end of 2027 which will probably extend to 2028+ in months.
1TB NVMe will be $5000 with no viable second-hand market, people are going to have to get used to SSD Cached HDD and 128MB Ram again in their VPS.... glory days!
It entirely depend on the hyperscalers. They're currently earning only a dime for every dollar they put on AI infrastructure, as they bet AI is going to be bigger than the entire hosting industry.
That's not going to be sustainable. Especially when AI company would demand newer gpu with bigger memory and bandwidth.
The price for new orders are already raised
All pre-order though, except some local zones.
ChatGPT isn’t sustainable unless something drastically changes.
But hyperscalers can afford to lose money on AI without issue. Alphabet reported what? Like $400 billion in revenue while netting like $130 billion?
Speaking on top of my mind now, my numbers may be wrong but likely not so wrong that I’m wrong in the point I’m trying to make
Alphabet is a public company:
1. Earning call is very important
2. Balance sheet, liquids and debt are equally important
3. Capex at the size of the entire year revenue is risky. Especially without concrete forecast/realization;
4. While the entire revenue of AI company is less than $60B last year
5. Newer GPU has bigger memory and bandwidth, reducing the value of older GPU -> obsolete hardware, high depreciation
So, let's assume they invested $400B this year. And, if within the next 2 year a GPU with 2x the memory, bandwidth will be released. Then, they have to earn at least $200B on 2026 & 2027 just to cope with the depreciation, and we haven't take into account the opex.
