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.
anyone buying some VPS nodes?
DDR4 RAM @ 2400 MHz
A bit expensive for 1 month of hosting
Catch me never
Aren't IP's $10/ea?

It looks like the price will stick month to month. This is the text at the last step of the order:
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.
Btw the network is average, poor pings in the us (comparing to amazon virginia, digital ocean, vultr).
Where can I find a test IP?
I'm still waiting on them to put out the VPSes/cloud/whatever.
147.135.0.104
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.
Thank you sir!
ISP Viettel (VN), VN -> JP -> UK -> US -> CA -> US
They must be feeling the pain due to lack of sales
Price is recurring
Yeah, old price was wtf.
Recurring confirmed
https://prnt.sc/iifulv
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.
yup
FYI, one my Centmin Mod users nabbed a OVH US East E3-1270v6 2x450GB NVMe server and posted benchmarks https://community.centminmod.com/posts/60014/
Incredibly poor network o_O
Leaseweb, Manassas, VA, USA: 33.00MB/s
Washington, DC, USA: 4.59MB/s <---- ?????
you're looking at axel multi-threaded tests on wget single threaded it's higher 59.3MB/s
MTR for that download

It seems that they have direct connection from BHS --> VHV
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.
Well, that's what I get.
I even get a shorter trace here:
That's quite amazing!
