you can sign up for 2 VPS under the same account?? would like to get one in HK
This offer is limited to 1 micro vKS per customer (1 POP per customer). The server must be renewed manually every month in your manager.
Please not that depending on the test needs, it's possible that you get your vKS in a POP other than the one you requested.
@LES
Yeah I remember reading something like that.. oh well
Got a vKS in Milan right now, ping if you would like: 176.31.171.162
Got one in NJ 198.245.52.68
176.31.171.162 seems to be in france
198.245.52.68 seems to be in montreal canada
@earl, No your looking at the IP whois location; Which indeed is incorrect. Server is physically located in Milan POP.

Ahh..yes you guys are right mil=milan & nj=newjersey.. so they did provisoned my VPS in san jose.. but unfortunatley hulu does not work with the ip, guess it based on the who is info??
I mean also as "more information", no I've only signed up for one.
Have all of you had a service w/ OVH prior? Or are some of you new sign ups? I don't want to have to send them all kinds of information for a free test VPS (scans of driver's license and other proof, etc) - or is that not a problem usually?
I got one of the free BHS servers and a Dallas vKS with no prior services or having to send off any ID.
I did a new sign up..and no they did not request any form of ID
I signed up for one in hong kong, expecting my first asian bit got one in nj.
I opened a ticket with support, requesting to be moved to HK. Their respons was "according to your account, you are in HK". Well, traceroute doesn't lie? In my manager it also says tjat geoip would report FR.
Traceroute to mine that is on San Jose goes through germany, france, germany, france, united kingdom, usa.
@MikHo
on my manager there is even written FR, but my IP is canadian and my vps in san jose
@muzo
That could be my case also, never bothered to check since I lost interest when I didn't recieve what I wanted
Tried several times to get one -- kept getting some kind of error about not being able to process Oh well....
@kendid
I had that error, then I signed up at ovh.co.uk then it worked
@earl Are you in the UK? Seemed the only country 'pull-down' was for England/UK
@kendid
not from the uk.. but I signed up at every other ovh and kept getting the error so I figure I might as well try..I used the same address for the co.uk location as I did when I signed up for the .eu and .com and yeah I went with uk for the location as there was no other option
@earl
Thanks... did as you did, and it worked! Thanks for the assistance! Already up and running!
Well that makes sense.. I tried multiple times with an .ie nic, but it didn't work, so I registered at the co.uk site and used that nic, which was accepted. Now I'll wait and see if the server appears...
Woah, that was fast! It was just provisioned. I'm going to reinstall with CentOS then run some tests.
The dd error is weird, does anyone know why it's doing that?
Pay? This is the microVKS, it's free for the time being... Infact, if you hurry, you should be able to grab one of the current batch before they run out. All you need is a OVH UK nic, a twitter account, and a few minutes of your time.

I ordered one. How long does it take to be activated?
Hmm, can't get it to work for some reason. I created an account at kimsufi.ie and tried to sign up at http://www.kimsufi.ie/vks/geovks.xml but I get:
I get past the twitter stuff, and I can log in to the manager on the ovh site...
@Kairus
register at ovh.co.uk.. should work
Hm, figured it wouldn't go through since I can only put down UK for my location.
just pick UK it worked fine for me..
