    Should add, these promotions are very likely first month only. Similar to how the other OVH branches market "$XX/month promotion" then the discount is removed after the first payment. Just confirm with their billing first.

    Good deal otherwise.

    It looks like the price will stick month to month. This is the text at the last step of the order:

    Your subscription will automatically renew next month on the anniversary date of the delivery of your service and you will be charged a portion of the $80.00 USD (plus applicable tax) subscription price, pro-rated for the remainder of next month. Your subscription will thereafter automatically renew on the first day of every subsequent month where you will be charged $80.00 USD (plus applicable tax). You may cancel your subscription at any time from within Manager, by submitting a support request, or by contacting us via chat. If you cancel your subscription, previous payments will not be refunded, but you may continue to use the service until the end of the currently paid subscription term.

    Key sentence: Your subscription will thereafter automatically renew on the first day of every subsequent month where you will be charged $80.00 USD (plus applicable tax).

    Also, right below the price after you click the "Order Now" button you can see the following:

    "Next month $80.00 with this configuration"

    I was concerned with this as @MikeA noted as well. Looks like the deal is persistent after the first month.

    Yes, I did not expect that. Looks like a one time fee. But, much more expensive than the BHS location.

    If youre gonna play the long game, after two years those $10 are negligible, compared to providers that charge monthly for IPs.

  • Btw they built their datacenter on the former CIA facility.

    I now think that they do not have sales for these here configurations in this location.

    Analysis of the status:

    http://travaux.ovh.net/vms/index_sgp1.html

    from 2016 - not one new rack

    http://travaux.ovh.net/vms/index_syd1.html

    since 2016, there were 4 lines became 3!

    http://travaux.ovh.net/vms/index_eri1.html

    UK, surprisingly increased, there were 3 columns, became 6 columns

    Probably the laws of the UK for business are acceptable.

    http://travaux.ovh.net/vms/index_waw1.html

    PL grew

    http://travaux.ovh.net/vms/index_lim1.html

    DE since the launch has not changed

    UK and DE - started at one time
    UK - increased, DE - no

    And in general, what's the point of doing ovhcloud.com? Why not ovh.cloud? Hetzner did hetzner.cloud. What was the point of making the site from scratch. A lot of things are not clear how it's done.

    Half the bandwidth, similar routes/latency from west coast, $10 per IP ... I'll stick to BHS for now. Might be more interested when their west coast DC comes online.

    Yeah, Portland or whatever will be welcome, it's what I want.

    It is great for a 1000km distance ;)

    Added:

    So, I almost get the same route from home -> BHS and home -> VHV also ping response is the same. This is really weird as the added 1000km distance is not negligible at all. For comparaison, HostUs in WDC got me 44ms vs 24ms for OVH US.

    Huh.. I don't think that's physically possible. Over 1000km you're talking at least 13-14ms. They must be using a CDN and you're hitting BHS pop. No way that's going from QC to VA.
