  • Unfortunately there is not direct order link (which IIRC was mandatory for offers posted on WHT). You need to email their sales to learn about the catches.

    Nice.

  • PacketVMPacketVM Member, Host Rep

    That's a great deal, I must say!

  • 16 IP's and two drives max apparently, such a shame :(

  • too bad it only comes with one IP, but thanks for posting...

  • SaahibSaahib Host Rep, Veteran

    They say you need to contact sales to get more details, however ,their upgrades are looking costly.

  • @Saahib said: however ,their upgrades are looking costly.

    I would imagine that's how they make their money, but at least it includes two drives...

    I3d.., have you seen there data center (SmartDC) ? Leeks breaking out(in their old warehouse), damp and the temperature is all over the place.. as they don't seem to monitor it, My experiences from I3D / SmartDC at least.

  • SmartDC is used by leaseweb, too.

    I don't know how you've "seen" their data center

  • @Ishaq said: SmartDC is used by leaseweb, too.

    No, it is not. Someone trolled you.

    I3D is there biggest provider because of EA, Leaseweb don't have any presence in SmartDC I don't believe.

    Most of Leasewebs Netherlands side is in Evoswitch Isn't it?

  • i3D.net it seems to be a domain for 3D movie :)

  • @apollo15 said: No, it is not. Someone trolled you.

    No. I mixed it up, it's EvoSwitch. Nevermind.

    @Ishaq said: No. I mixed it up, it's EvoSwitch. Nevermind.

    Yes, correct.

    And SmartDC is a nice place. InstantDedicated pulled 2 DC moves during the night without telling anyone, even customers. Now they are single homed to Atrato and false advertising as multi-homes and redundant network. Jelle isn't a honest guy. @Jack

  • Well I really need to rent at least the cheapest one since this is the best deal I've ever seen in The Netherlands.

  • IPv6 is an extra 2 euros.

    IPMI is 10 euros.

  • Just ordered one, curious how long it will take them.

  • @Ishaq said: IPv6 is an extra 2 euros.

    They only allow 30 Ipv4 max per server as well at I3D.

    Also sended a mail, i3d quality is really good from what I hear. A friend/company of my is hosting their servers in the i3d DC. As far as I heard from them the DC is really good.

    edit: email reply within 3 minutes!

    @Ishaq said: IPv6 is an extra 2 euros.

    Per month?

  • @jack - Well said, I've had the same info from Jelle too, dirty tactics at getting clients i'd say.

    Also I have used SmartDC I never had any issues with them except there IP pricing :P

  • X3210, xeon but not "dual"

  • Ramon at sales is very reactive. Some anwers he gave me:

    For the promo’s we have a maximum of 4 IPs for promo1 and a maximum of 8 IPs for promo 2. (we can make an exception if you need 6 IPs for promo1)

    A /29 IPv4 block (6 IPs) adds a monthly fee is €8 extra a month (4 IPs more than the default offer billed at € 2 per IP). If you want a /29 as your own VLAN please add an additional €50 one time setup fee for configuring this)

    By default our IPv6 offer is a /64 per server. The IPv6 block has a flat fee of €2 a month (can be shared across multiple servers if preferred)

    No setup fee. No additional fee for OS installed with software RAID 1.

    I just placed an order for a Dell PowerEdge 860 with CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3210@ 2.13GHz. Confirmation message says:

    For dedicated servers in stock, we have a maximum of 3 days for setup and configuration. In most cases this will be within the next 24 hours but we cannot guarantee this.

    I will keep you posted.

    I already got my server, however re-installs are 50 euro / each.
    Ping is not that great considering I'm pretty close to the DC.

    Now I really have to think through if I get plesk or zPanel for this one.

  • why are they charging for ipv6

  • @fly said: why are they charging for ipv6

    I'm a little shocked they charge for re-installs :P

    Looks like it is the new practice that's in fashion, sell a "cheap" dedi, and then nickle-and-dime the client for every little thing. A monthly fee for IPv6 is just beyond silly and is a huge turn-off for me. Not to mention the outrageous reinstall cost. I wonder how long before they will start charging for reboots, or for each login into their management panel.

  • Its cheaper to just order a new server then re-install -O_
