Might as well apply now.. someone might look at it by then.
They don't actually require a high level IT degree, Definitely learn French, this would be the best thing as an English speaker that can also do good french is what they need for support staff.
I'm already snotty and hate fellow Americans. Does that work?
I am so impatient and really ask everyday. Is there any news, or better rumors??
Yes.
What is the news or rumors? Détails s'il vous plaît.
Oh. I just report on the fact you asked for news and/or rumors. You're going to need to ask LETTMZ for that..
I've just received an email from the german support team:
I was just like WTF.
^^ thats what i "call" support "team", my BIIIG L.O.L for them. glad i am faaar faaaar away from them and their a called "network"
OVH support has always been somewhat "unreasonable"..
I'm 100% positive that they will definitely provide VAC and probably even IPv6 at some point. They only question is: when? French are that kind of people overall.. They don't really care if something is late for months from what was agreed as long as it gets delivered someday.
They know that even if we cancel, they won't go bankrupt from it, so it's more cheaper for them to say "fuck off" or stop answering and cause 20% of the current customers of 500 servers in WAW to disappear than hurry the production of the datacenter to appeal the mass of customers.
OVH doesen't care more than it needs to unfortunately. They're so cheap compared to others that they get away with putting on this kind of shit. I also wait for the Anti-DDoS to arrive but no way i'd cancel this server before 5 months of waiting unless some other provider comes up with with cheaper price.
In fact when being with OVH I'm amazed to even get answer from their support team sometimes.. It's not that their support sucks.. it's that it doesen't even exist sometimes.
All the servers and VPSs and everything I have online is hosted with them lol in BHS
I think they already filed for bankruptcy, I am sure of it, at least moral bankruptcy....
seen that before https://safehousecloud.com/
Another copy paste email this morning..
Hello,
At the end of December, we informed you that we were experiencing some challenges in deploying the new VAC infrastructure (the anti-DDoS system) in our Sydney and Singapore datacenters.
This deployment is essential to guarantee the protection for your service(s) and that of all our customers from threats of attack.
Our priority is to ensure performance and protect the services hosted by our customers. To guarantee this level of service, we need to further optimize our infrastructures and are forced to push back the delivery of your pre-ordered solutions.
You will be informed about the availability of your service as soon as possible, and as previously announced, we will offer you one-month service for free to compensate for this delay.
Alternatively, you may cancel your pre-order from your confirmation email and get a full refund.
We apologize for the delay and thank you for the confidence you place in us.
Regards,
The OVH team
Update on my Side:
My Poland server got renewed for free again (dispite german support told me to pay or gtfo because its getting shut down).
Im still like WTF o_Ô
From email with [email protected]
TL:DR, they realized that with 3 new datacenters, their anti-ddos does not scale anymore and they need a new technology which they are researching and testing. In short, don't expect anything for the next few months to a year.
Untill that technology is production ready, I can't see them deploying their new "Armor Anti-DDoS" system worldwide, so there will be delays and more delays..
I would be happy with nulled IP based ddos protection in SYD, I just need the server ;(
Same. those Specs for that price with or without ddos protection is better then anything available in Aus at the moment.
I recently sold a batch of E3s with similar spec and only slightly higher pricing (E3-1270v2/32GB/2x500GBSSD and 3TB data). They sold fast; mainly because people were sick of sitting around waiting for OVH so cancelled their preorders. I have another pallet worth on the way now so if you are interested in something similar and actually want it delivered and not just sit around waiting for potentially months let me know.
Got an IP that I could run a few tests with? Also, what would this 'slightly higher' pricing be? Asking because I am tired of waiting for the same OVH server for a few months now.
Probably best to try looking glass here:
http://sydney-lg.ransomit.com.au/
The plan is listed here at $160 AUD which is about $122 USD today; though the trend right now is AUD is weakening vs strengthening USD so it may well be that the price for foreigners actually gets better for this service.

Judging by the interest I have seen in these servers and dedicated in AU recently you are not the only one tired of waiting for OVH.
What datacenter in Australia are you using?
All Sydney services are in Equinix SY3.
@pbgben
Let's get some high-res close ups of the equipment in the Sydney datacenter
No wonder they aren't ready, they don't even have those NICs in the servers connected!
Yeah, https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/D/X10SDD-F.cfm found the boards they're using as well, wonder if they'll give people IMPI too since it's on board
Additionally with the 3TB plan I assume they'll have the option to purchase more bandwidth/data as needed
Just me or is it weird that motherboard uses a SoC CPU that they aren't offering as dedicated server?
Exactly what I was thinking.
This is most interesting... Dual SSD's as the offer states, m.2 is a huge bonus. RAM is 32GB and then the board is for a different CPU... Wonder if these are for a different offer or perhaps they miss advertised and GRRRRR
