Finally. No free IPs for OVH server
http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6276
now i keep wondering if it's for new order or for an active server as well.

Wait, they gave them for free?
Now to wait until Santrex stops giving out 8 IPs with a VPS by default.
Will existing servers be also affected by this?
@Joepie91
It is a $91 VPS....
yes, they gave me "free" /26 with one time setup fee. there's no monthly payment for EG series and upper.
Lol... This will kill half of the OVH hosts.
The price doesn't really matter. They shouldn't give you that many IPs by default. Extra free IPs on request with proper justification? Sure. But no, they just assign them straight away.
Anybody else find it strange that the announcement was posted by a guest of the forum and not a staff member?
Almost posted "Does this apply for the Montreal datacenter?", then I remembered ARIN. Or does it, I wonder?
You would think announcements like that would be posted by a registered member at least.
OVH announcements are always strange. Keep in mind that almost noone there (or in France in general) speaks proper English.
However the post was edited by a OVH team member so it's legit.
LOL
Yes it´s legit. Oktave Klaba alias oles is the son of the CEO and managing director from OVH. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OVH
well less cheap hosts which will probably deadpool in a month or so i guess lol
I see this affecting a lot of the UK and EU hosting providers in a big way.
Why UK? I think you mean providers that advertise UK but are actually in France.
I think so, CEO is Henryk Klaba, not Octave Klaba. Oles is CIO or something..
Lot´s of pictures say that too..
E.g. http://www.infosuroit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Henryk-Klaba-OVH-Photo-INFOsuroit.com_.jpg and http://www.nordeclair.fr/Actualite/Depeches/2010/10/18/roubaix-ovh-polemique-dreal.shtml
This will definitely affect a lot of hosting providers.
