Goob job @MartinD, that solution(s) seems fair to everyone.
Yeah, the new servers are actually slightly more powerful. We're running raid10 SAS 15k drives on these. All the current OVH plans will remain the same as will the pricing - we're happy to honour that. However, going forward, we wont be offering any new signups on those plans as we're effectively closing down the OVH side.
Ouch... new announcement:
Are you sure going to close OVH side? Probably some clients would prefer to stay there for additional cost.
Probably not enough to justify keeping OVH.
@nstorm - why is that ouch?
As for keeping anything with OVH, we're really not keen on that however we also realise that some customers may want to stay there. We may keep 1 server with OVH for a few more months however our end goal is to move away completely.
@MartinD this is the way to go. Congratulations for finding solution.
Yep, this is a neat outcome
-DRAMA AVERTED-
I have no hard feelings towards melbourne, and my comment was not supposed to be seen as "slander" towards you.
Your arrangements, between what was mine, and any other customer will not be different. Regarding the comment above, which was "We are Locked in with a price", sure you are locked in for a year, depending on when the contract was first introduced.
"All of our standard packages are subject to 1-year contracts". And to be perfectly honest they are right within the rights, and policies to refuse to allocate you any further IPs, when they choose, or just will not allocate any at all untill your contract ends so you have to pay for them.
I know, this is eventually going to happen everywhere. I am just stating the facts/inevitable.
Also melbourne are seriously strict on IP Assignments, /24 for a Quarter Cabinet is seen as a big assignment.(Granted it was not full).
Jacob, you are making assumptions about our arrangement and agreements with Melbourne. I was with Melbourne long before you joined them and have remained after you left. I've had numerous long conversations with Rob and Tom (as you well know) to ensure our position with Melbourne is safe and secure. I have no worries at all with Melbourne and we have a very good and strong business relationship.
@MartinD just because I've just recently moved all things and now have to change IPs again. Sounds like a downtime for my site while DNS updates, but more important I'm too lazy to change it again :P
Not complaining, but I'd rather payed additional 1 GBP every month just to avoid this.
EDIT: Still this is really great that such solution was found. Sounds like it suits most of your customers.
Don't worry - as I mentioned in a ticket/email, when the time comes we'll get you sorted out
