  • If the deal is grandfathered, it is not bad for a small personal webserver, all things considered.

  • Ordered one.

    ok! tag me when you get to bench it.. I think it should perform quite well for this price for personal use (small website, personal vpn etc)

  • I already had one. What kind of bench that you want? Just bench.sh ?

    bench.sh and mason's Yet Another Benchmark Script (YABS) will help the LET community a lot on whether this is worth it.

    I’ll do it when I have spare time today.

  • OVH network is good. The issue is the disk, pretty much confirmed, but ok for small website and personal VPN.

  • no ipv6

  • from the sounds of they are trying to push the USA side this year I wonder if they are going to offer Canada and world wide like last year

  • HDD heavily limited but good for personal use

  • cybertech said: HDD heavily limited but good for personal use

    It is supposed to be an SSD and I'd say that the performance is sub par for what I'd expect. I think their APAC infrastructure was much better from the looks of it.

    Still debating whether to dip my toes...

    It's an inexpensive VPN that probably works way better than the average LEB host charging that kind of price. Depends on your use case but if you lower your expectations when buying, you probably won't feel that the performance is terrible.

    Is quite disappointing. At least ~80MB/s would have been nice considering this is SSD (and 100Mbps which isn't great in the US)

    I agree that you are likely to find much better value for money offers during BF, but at $1.50 per month, it is kinda priced appropriately reflecting its value.

    I suggest stalking @HostDoc's black friday page if you already haven't. Lots of serious potassium to feed your addiction at a fraction of what it will normally cost.

  • poisson said: at $1.50 per month, it is kinda priced appropriately reflecting its value

    Agreed. Plus OVH network is usually very good. I think you've tipped me over the edge.

    poisson said: @HostDoc's black friday page if you already haven't. Lots of serious potassium to feed your addiction

    Already have. Only reason I don't pick more of @HostDoc is lack of IPv6 at most locations.

    Doc - I hope you're listening... we need dem IPv6 moar.

    Plus the IPv4 end is Nigh and RIPE has confirmed as well.

  • Hello, sorry if the question is silly. If I rent a dedicated server and such VPS in the same DC, will the connection between the two be also limited to 100Mbps?

    If they have an internal/private IP, I don't think it would.

    Thank you, but how to do know if this is the case? I don't see anything on the page of their VPS, but I might be looking at the wrong thing.

    Very likely it will be limited. As I understand the VPS's network is limited and I think this is not just on the public internet side but literally at the network layer level (not sure how this is implemented/enforced). It is unmetered though.

    These VPSs I think have only ONE nic (no vRack etc.) and the throttling is going to be at the nic level.

    If we're talking Kimsufi, the dedis have their port speed fixed to 100 Mbps, so it doesn't matter which IP.

    Between two VPSes it would have been possible to have a within-DC gigabit, but every time I used those, they didn't have anything like that in place either.

    I see "black friday" discounts on the EU sites, for the VPS at least.

    VPS 2018 SSD 1 : 2.39€ (instead of 2.99€)
    VPS 2018 SSD 2 : 4.89€ (instead of 6.99€)
    VPS 2018 SSD 3 : 7.79€ (instead of 12.99€)

    VPS 2016 Cloud/RAM 1 : 7.19€ (instead of 8.99€)
    VPS 2016 Cloud/RAM 2 : 11.89€ (instead of 16.99€)
    VPS 2016 Cloud/RAM 3 : 18.59€ (instead of 30.99€)

    price excluding VAT and per month

    edit:

    It looks like there is a 50% discount on some domain name registration (not transfer or renewal), I am not totally sure.
