    You talking about this by any chance? http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/53325/ovh-new-cloud-vps-offers

    But really, I have to wonder what's the attraction of "100% SLA" is to you, on a 3 EUR VPS.
    So that if your VPS is down for a day, they refund you 3EUR/30 = 0.10 EUR?

    I guess it is more around people hope that a service with a 100% SLA the company will work harder and have put more money into the environment to reduce the downtime in the first place.

    Well for run 1 website its okay for me. As its says 100% SLA. I never saw 100% SLA on any OVH services. Also the DDOS protection is a bonus. If its down for a day then its not the guaranteed service level , 100%. So the attraction is that this.

    You obviously don't understand how an SLA works, all that means is if there is an outage they will compensate you, that doesn't mean that it will be up 100% of the time. So really, having 100% SLA on that server is no real difference to their previous no SLA other than as @rm_ mentioned they will compensate you for the downtime, so on a $3/mont instance that's $0.10 per day.

    I would bet in most cases the amount of business you would loose from that one day downtime would be worth more than $0.10 so really I don't see how this supplies any better feeling about the product than before, other than they will give you $0.10.

    I mean , it is nice they feel confident enough about their product to offer you money when there is a failure, but really this doesn't change the product it's self at all, its just a new catch phrase to make you, the customer, feel better about their product.

    Cheers!

    Thank you :)

    Well then better to use something cloud with HA storage like iwstack or domflow. Thats the only way.

    Well i got 0 experience about OVH products.

    Turned out to be not free however, just got an invoice for 0.82 EUR. And the text in the web panel got changed to mention that it's only free if you are a current customer on some other OVH product. Runabove doesn't count, needs to be in the same OVH account/manager.

    "If you currently own a VPS, Dedicated Server or Dedicated Cloud, get 3 credit € (ie up to 1 month free) on the KS-1 model!" - From the control panel.

    I hope they launch it for everyone else soon.

    This was formulated differently 2 weeks ago. Don't remember precisely, but I think it used to say just "free for the first month" without mentioning any conditions. But oh well, 12 TB of bandwidth for Tor is still not too bad for 0.82 EUR.

  • boerndboernd Member

    Is there a instance limit per account? 100mbps for 3€ is great cheap bandwidth for a streaming page :D

    And another invoice today for 2.02 EUR, despite that I deleted the VM back on June 11th. So they charged me 2.84 EUR for 14 days of using the VM which costs 2.99/month. Created a ticket many hours ago, no response.

    They replied that the hourly rate is 0.008 EUR (which comes out to about 5.76 EUR/month), as a result even if you use it only for two weeks, you pretty much pay for the whole month.
