OVH SoYouStart : what's your Santa Claus wishlist ?

Hello guys,

Long time no see. I'm still working at OVH and can now influence about the OVH DS/VPS/Kimsufi/SoYoustart offers ;)

I'm starting with SoYouStart (not sure if I can link the website, so i don't)

Based on our current offers, what's missing from your point of view ?
It could be features or hardware stuff, please tell me. just if you can explain your use case, it's even better

examples :
Need the same specs as Storage range but with higher CPU, because Plex can't stream correctly HD.
Game range is Ok but with preinstalled Minecraft/... because i'm bored to apt-get. and come on it's 2017.
I 'd like to pay with crypto currencies.
...

Thx !

    how about adding more SSDs to SYS than one or two usually sold out servers? I don't have a use, but I am sure people would appreciate that. (not the i7s)

    Edit: Nevermind, the SSD servers are sorta in stock? oh well.

    Thanks for making this thread, first of all.

    Erm, I noticed that SoYouStart has increased prices of all servers by $6-8/mo, can you plainly undo that? As far as I can tell there was no explanation of the price increase, and certainly while none is owed, it would be appreciated.

    My own use cases, mostly storage related, are pretty well covered by the offers, just not at the current price rate. I'm currently planning to cancel the server I've had for over a year after I move my data off of it.

    Anyway... for new offers, higher storage capabilities in the Essential line (OP-, E3-, or SYS- lines) would be great. And paying with cryptocurrencies would also be great. I've appreciated the move SYS seems to have made to indefinitely suspend setup fees.

    They sent an e-mail a little while back about the price increases, I remember getting two separate ones. If you didn't have an active server at the time that's probably why.

    Last year I have missed 4x2tb for €45 (or €48) RECURRING. This one was great but was soldout faster.

    I think this was due to ddos protection

  • hmmm, will OVH have xmas discounts?

  • More then 2 Drives , like 4x 1Tb or 4 x 2Tb .
    in my opinion cpu and ram is fine for the price lacks in drives.

  • Need Recurring discount!

  • The network is very hit or miss in my opinion, and more so on the kimsufi line. Not on a client-basis (peering) but on a server-basis (some misconfiguration on your end). It took support about 70 tickets (32 replies by me, 38 by support) over a course of 2 months to fix it. When they finally found (and fixed) the issue, it was something on their side. Yet I had to ticket in again for my secondary server.

    Would it be an option to just enable whatever fix applied in ticket #1077717219 (kimsufi) to any and all services you offer?

  • 1$ dedis.

    More and cheaper storaageeeeee

  • Bigger disks (3TB +) disks made available with the higher CPU plans; 2TB platters ain’t enough for no man, no more.

  • I'm looking for bigger discs + vrack + usb stick so i can build a "cheap" proxmox cluster :)

  • KVM over IP.

  • @Iam said:
    KVM over IP.

    I second this, paying more than the monthly cost in some cases for 24 hour KVM access sucks. This should be complimentary

    haha, I think most missing from OVH is:

    1) support after 6pm

    2) support team with some IT experience and some basic knowledge of networking and IPs

    3) more than 2 hard drive

    4) hardware raid

    5) the same price in any datacenter location, don't need to specific to location as right now you get less options outside of FR and cost more!

    6) loyalty discounts

    7) remove some stupid prices like for KVM over IP - £151.20 for 7 days, are just stupid? Everywhere its free with dedicated server, example: hetzner.de (ok, its called VNC-Installation but exactly the same function!)

    8) Anti-DDoS Pro should include all layer of protection otherwise it's not Pro it's just basic protection with some 2 - 3 tweaks extra and nothing more.

    Recurring discount code or discounts on long terms.

    vRack would be nice

    Crypto payment would be nice (not only Bitcoin, fees are too high) BTC, LTC, ETH, XMR

  • Recurring recurring recurring discunts. Stop asking me to verify my shit. Not going to send you or anyone my stuffs. It's my stuffs and if the Corps think I am real why don't you guys?

  • It would be nice to have ability to choose certain datacenter during order. Personally I prefer to have my server in SBG but everytime I order new server I get it in RBX.

    Haha, My personal choice is RBX as it seems to me better connectivity than other DCs in FR.

  • @Iam said:

    This! If SYS offered KVM over IP with their servers I would feel a lot more comfortable with moving some stuff to an SYS server. Most of my dedis in the price range of a SYS server come with KVM over IP.

  • Yes, more than two dicks disks would be awesome. And I'm not talking about those shitty 3x120GB servers.

  • Higher ip limit on ovh ssd servers! I need more vhosts for my ZNCs. xD
