OVH SoYouStart lineup refresh
I might be wrong, but they seem to have just rolled out a new lineup of servers:
- http://www.soyoustart.com/fr/serveurs-essential.xml
- http://www.soyoustart.com/fr/serveurs-SSD.xml
- http://www.soyoustart.com/fr/serveur-sauvegarde.xml
All product codes starting with "142", these weren't there before.
Discovered this by accident with my Kimsufi availability script.
At least one thing is new for certain, the cheapest SYS server is now 30 EUR/mo, previously it was 35 EUR or more. And it now beats the Online.net 29.99 dedi on all accounts: CPU, RAM, disks, bandwidth.
P.S.: the "Essential" servers come with 16 IPs included???
Comments
I've been waiting for the free ip thing for a while.. guess it's really happening, hopefully for international as well..
Translated, seems ok:
*: 2 EUR/IP one time, the renewal is free. Beyond 16 IP, 2.00 EUR / Month / IP with 128 IP limit per server
Yes there is a setup fee of 2 euro per IP..
Think it's a good idea, that way people will less likely sign up for a new service and cancel the old when a better offer comes up since they have already paid for the ip's..
Was previously 30EUR (36EUR INC VAT) so no change there.
The 192GB one seems more like their old styles of offering, pretty good value when you're after more RAM rather than disks & bandwidth.
Nah, it was 35 EUR indeed (42 w/VAT), and had less bandwidth, a different (worse?) CPU, but more RAM.

Can we pick geolocation of the initial 16 IPs or is it forced France?

Sorry, you're right. I was thinking of the prices I saw on the UK site.
The only good thing is that they offer free IP after paying setup fee now...
@NDTN that is until they change their mind AGAIN about the IPs
I hope not Their SYS US is still in the old version, hope that it will be get updated soon because I love their support there.
Looks pretty good, software RAID E3-1245v2 has come along as well now, something a lot of people have been asking about for quite a while.
So you made a script to monitor the availability of Kimsufi servers? Nice.
Not exactly low end but for €30/mo I just received (about a minute after ordering) a soyoustart server with 250 Mbit/s, 2x 2 TB, a Xeon [email protected] and 16 GB ECC RAM.
The 16 IPs are FO-capable, and you can order them from multiple countries, including France, Italy, UK and so on. Obviously, they're all routed to France but registered in the country indicated. The IPs come with a one-time fee of €2 per IP.
After 12 months I will be able to renew the server for a full year with a 25% discount.
I thought some of you might be interested in this as well (I'm not affiliated with them in any way).
THREADMERGE!
Edit: And a clean up of the now unnecessary posts.
I'm in the UK and trying to sign up (but can't). It keeps redirecting me to OVH.co.uk when I fill in my details. Any ideas on how I go about this?
EDIT: I already have a Kimsufi & OVH account
Try buying from http://www.soyoustart.com/ie/offers.xml
I don't see the new offers on there yet. Does that mean I'll have to wait till they are available on http://www.soyoustart.com/ie or http://www.soyoustart.com/en .?
Most likely, yes. I had to when I was chasing down the last batch of OVH specials.
Dammit. I hate having to chase these offers. I pray this one will still be available by the time they validate me. Thanks @Nekki
Pretty good I guess... apart from the E3-1245v2s still not getting any extra IPs for the one-off cost thing.
@hausarzt
Looks pretty good.. also seems they allow you to burst to 1Gbit.
Sorry for asking a stupid question, but how good is the intel xeon W3520 exactly as a server cpu? Also, how does the bandwidth work? So its 250 megabit (for the new line up) guaranteed. Does that mean I would have a guaranteed bandwidth of 250 megabit up and down combined or have 250 megabit up and down simultaneously?
Intel Xeon W3520 are old! I would take the E3-1245 instead... BW is 250Mbps Up AND Down (internal or not)
Fred
Sorry I think I poorly worded my question regarding the bandwidth (perhaps I'm just misinterpreting). I meant to ask if the 250 megabit guaranteed bandwidth means I can upload and download 250 megabit at the same time (250 megabit up and 250 megabit down) or does it mean the up and down is counted together (for instance, 125 megabit up and 125 down or 200 megabit up and 50 down).
Nice offers but I hope they did not introduce new lineup & IP options for summer hosts
@K2Bytes nah, its good from OVH with less IP options so we get less sommer hosts.
You can have 16 + 128 IPs on those servers, that is very easy for them they can start with a cheap server with decent hardware + high RAM & a /29 & then order more IPs when more orders come in.Quite attractive for summer hosts TBH.
They still have those insane setup fees; no thanks
you can pay it in monthly installments of 10 Euros for 6 months.
