Hello @sleepy,
You may check our upcoming Singapore servers here: https://www.ovh.com/asia/discover/what-is-next-in-singapore.xml
I7-7700K are planned to be in stock by end of this month in both Singapore and Sydney datacenters. The OC version are only available in our european and north-american dacatenters at this stage.
https://dnschecker.org/#AAAA/sgp.as16276.ovh
https://dnschecker.org/#AAAA/syd.as16276.ovh
Except you mixed them up, now sgp.as16276.ovh points to Australia:
And syd.as16276.ovh points to Singapore.
Point is that when it breaks again, you will not know until we report it here or on the mailing list. All of OVH's Smokeping is v4-only, and there doesn't seem to be any other monitoring to track IPv6 failures -- it gets looked at only when users report that it's broken. This is lower effort spent on IPv6 than on IPv4, and as a result means overall lower quality and reliability of IPv6 at OVH compared to IPv4.
@rm_ Speeds are typically much faster over v4, so I wouldn't recommend using v6 for majority of traffic anyways (at least in the other regions)
That's certainly a good idea if we want this to be the case forever.
Hello @rm_
Sorry for mixing up sgp/syd, we are fixing this now.
Regarding IPv6 tools and reliability, I will push again this topic internally. Many thanks for your feedback.
Hello,
For those in Singapore the connection to Singtel has been improved and down to 2.5ms latency now!
http://sgp.smokeping.ovh.net/smokeping?target=APAC.AS9506
Going to be hard to "benefit" from these 2.5ms "improvements" given the lack of available and interesting cheap offers VPS/cloud products in that datacenter to begin with...
^ Mostly this, aside the fact their VPS line is a performance shit show. Bring on the Kimsufi's... or SYS ARM storage.
Hello,
We made a latency improvement between OVH Singapore Datacenter and Philippines:
SKYBroadband SKYCable Corp (AS23944 114.108.211.1) => down to ~70ms
http://sgp.smokeping.ovh.net/smokeping?target=APAC.AS23944
We are continuously working on improving our network, if you experience latency issue with your OVH service in Singapore or Sydney, please feel free to send us your traceroute results to our public mailing list for further investigations:
2 To run a traceroute on Windows, enter the following command line: tracert sgp.smokeping.ovh.net (or your OVH server IP)
Use "sgp.smokeping.ovh.net" for OVH Singapore Datacenter or “syd.smokeping.ovh.net" for the OVH Australia (Sydney) Datacenter
@OVH_APAC can you improve the ipv6 connectivity between Telekom Malaysia ISP and OVH Singapore? With IPv4,the lowest latency can get less than 10ms. But With IPv6,already few months the connection for ipv6 still bad.
Hello @go626201
According to the below traceroute, we advise you to contact your ISP as the latency is increasing on the 6th hop (Telekom Malaysia).

@OVH_APAC Any updates regarding the availability of VPS/Cloud products in the Singapore DC?
Also, any plans (even in a distant future) to open a DC in HK?
Hello @tcp6,
Regarding Cloud products in Singapore DC, it is coming soon, you can find more and info and register your interest here to be alerted as soon as it is available. https://www.ovh.com/asia/discover/what-is-next-in-singapore.xml#public-cloud
Regarding a DC in Hong-Kong, there are no plans at this stage as Singapore Datacenter is only around ~35 to 40ms away depending on your provider (example: http://sgp.smokeping.ovh.net/smokeping?target=APAC.AS45753)
Do let us know if you experience higher latency.
Thank you
SGP => HKG (Netsec example)
How about latam?
Enquiring about LATAM in a thread dedicated to the APAC region and expecting an answer? Okay...
Hello,
We just made a big improvement with Netvigator, a residential Internet service provider in Hong Kong. --> now down to 35ms from our Singapore datacenter.
Singapore: http://sgp.smokeping.ovh.net/smokeping?target=APAC.AS4760
Sydney: http://syd.smokeping.ovh.net/smokeping?target=APAC.AS4760
Would you like to see some improvements on the OVH Network from our Singapore (SGP) or Sydney (SYD) datacenter?
Please send us your traceroute results by completing the short form available at:
http://traceroute.apac-tools.ovh
OVH Tools:
Thx for improving the network latency between HK and SG
Also, if someone DDoS the SG server, will the system going to reroute those traffic to France for mitigation? or will it do the mitigation in the local data centre? Thanks.

Hello @leechitat,
OVH anti-DDoS technology is replicated in all our datacenters. The VAC (Vacuuming) is activated simultaneously in all of these datacentres, so that all regions can combine their power and absorb the traffic. They have a combined capacity of more than 4 Tbit/s.
You can read more here: https://www.ovh.com/asia/anti-ddos/
When is the public cloud available at Singapore?
Hello @stefeman
OVH Public Cloud solution, including cheap sandboxes (+ Pay-as-you-go, additional storage, snapshots) will be made available in Singapore and in Australia (2 new regions) early this year (few weeks from now - our tech teams are deploying this solution as we speak). I will definitely advise as soon as I can communicate a firm ETA. You can find more info: https://www.ovh.com/asia/discover/what-is-next-in-singapore.xml
Quick question regarding existing VPS services in the APAC region:
Let’s say for the purpose of this example that I have 3 of the discontinued APAC VPS 1 offers which each are bundled with 1TB of monthly traffic.
Now I would like clarification on the folliwing point:
Is the traffic between each of these VPS servers counting towards my monthly bandwidth quota? Or is the traffic between OVH VPS servers within the same DC and probably the same physical racks considered as “free traffic”?
Thanks.
Any plans to introduce cheap storage in AU?
Hello @tcp6,
The discontinued VPS APAC offer does not benefit from a Private Network interface (vRack), which also means you would be using the public network get these VPS to communicate between each other; as a result the traffic will be accounted in your monthly quota (only upload)
(so if you push some data from one VPS APAC (let's call it A) to another (B) only the upload will be counted on A, the download to B is "free traffic").
Hope this helps
Hello @dahartigan,
short answer: yes!
long answer:
As part of our public cloud solution opening soon in AU, you will also benefit from our OVH storage solutions. Not too sure what type of storage you are after here but to summarize:
find more details here: https://www.ovh.com.au/public-cloud/storage/
NB: The storage price will be the same in Australia and Singapore, however please note when an outgoing (or incoming traffic) charge applies, the traffic cost in Australia and Singapore will be higher (due to the higher bandwidth cost in this part of the world), however it will remain very competitive for the region.
Full pricing details will be revealed in a few weeks from now.
Do not hesitate if you have further questions.
Thanks for the response! Right now I've managed to get an amazing VPS deal on around 700GB of HDD that's based on one of your Sydney dedicated servers, and it costs me around $17 AUD per month - for reference. Usage is very minimal IO really, it's for a nextCloud and small 1 user Plex setup - object storage would work for me for both of these purposes. If the price is right, of course.
I know that's a hard one to do because of the region, I'm Australian (Brisbane) so the reduced ping (normally I'd use LA servers for the price/features/ping ratio) but I certainly understand the Aussie stuff is highly premium
EDIT: I forgot to mention, my bandwidth usage combined would not likely approach 1TB/month in both directions.
Will the upcoming Cloud/VPS offers have the vRack option activated by default or at least toggled on?
Perfectly crystal clear explanation, I’m loving it.
One question though; Will we be able to see bandwidth usage stats from within our control panels at some point in the near future specially with the upcoming Cloud offers?
It sure did! Perfect. Flawless.
One last unrelated question though; let’s say that these 3 VPS servers are “saturating” their ens3 port at 100Mbit 24/7 then at 10Mbit/s once their monthly bandwidth allocation has been exhausted. Will it attract attention? Is it grounds for service suspension? Or you guys at OVH just don’t care at all?
Hello @tcp6,
Public Cloud instances have the vRack Private network capability so you can build an infra. (you only need to activate the option in your Cloud control panel). This is included in the price but you'll get higher bandwidth with bigger instances.
Traffic usage will be visible in the control panel or via API for your Public cloud instances.
(no changes on the discontinued VPS APAC offer)
Regarding your last question, you will definitely attract attention if you are exceeding your monthly allowance by too much and repetitively...
Higher bandwidth if you active the vRack option or just higher bandwidth on the new upcoming offers?
That’s great news for the new customers, not so much for the lasting ones though.
I understand a VPS is a shared ressource, not tjere to be constantly abused. The phrasing was rather poor, the question should rather be, in terms of bandwidth usage, is there a sane threshold?
Thanks.
Hello @tcp6,
The bandwidth for vRack Private network (and also for the Public network interface) is displayed here by for each Public cloud instance: https://www.ovh.com.au/public-cloud/instances/prices/
Regarding your last question, I'm not sure to get it but regarding the discontinued VPS APAC offer, these VPS are capped at 100Mbps (best effort) for the duration of your traffic quota included with it then it drops to 10Mbps.
