OVH to relaunch Singapore/Sydney VPS service
https://www.ovh.com/asia/vps/#ssd-discover
Singapore Early 2019
Sydney Early 2019
Been waiting for these for quite some time now though the rate is increased by 1$.
Comments
Also before it had 1GB RAM & 30GB SSD, now 2GB RAM & 10GB SSD.
10GB only?
Barely enough to fit my passwords.txt.
the largest common credentials of around 10 million is less than 10 megabyte txt file...

well I mean if you really have over 500 million passwords I guess.
Where can I check OVH test IP or looking glass...?
Only 10GB? @OVH_APAC you guys are really going backwards...
and price up by a fair bit. Don't even know what CPU. Sad deal mate
I dont think you can find any other provider that is cheaper than OVH. Not to mention their network is solid.
Just ranting, but still on watchlist for Sydney.
1Gbit is $105/month though.

What speeds are the vps?
Old pricing below, these new deals suck ASS. The below pricing is in AUD btw so even cheaper USD.
Soon (tm)
Old discovery VPS package is 100Mbps.
Hope new deals are Xeon gold and NVMe then
Edit: gbit too
I'm sure @OVH_APAC will come in, hose you guys down and some how explain the new plans are better...
If you want OVH then rent space on an OVH reseller, it would most likely be your cheapest option.
Find the area you want, example Sydney then look for any VPS provider offers that are on OVH in Sydney. I can only think of @HostDoc off the top of my head, not sure if flowvps run OVH..
I think Lunanode uses OVH in France.
@dahartigan FlowVPS is in Melbourne, so no.
Thanks @MikeA. Only in Melbourne and run on owned hardware, not rented
how can you tell if you don't even have specs?
I would especially welcome improved performance as to IO disk and network compared to the former generation
Thanks for clearing that up
I believe the traffic on the old ones are 1TB to multiple TB @ 100Mbps - the network will be identical as well as the port. No OVH location in the world supports over 100Mbps on VPS so it will be no different in Australia, a country where bandwidth is quadruple average cost of NA/EU bandwidth.
Sure, clock speed might be faster and IO might be faster (I doubt IO will be faster, I have an old one and the average I/O is 400MB/s which is expected from SSD) but it's still not worth the additional cost.
Older plans offer more bang for the buck and if we make comments like this, berating it - hopefully OVH might change their minds
i did not mean the port sizes but realized network performances.
as far as I know the old one had non recurring prices for 12 months with the same contract binding period.
the new plans show monthly - ok not much conclusive info given yet
with the adjusted pricing I do not have a problem, what is a plan good for if it is sold out and unavailable for months?
Hello all, @smile @Gravely @teper, @eol, @tester4 @corbpie
We have finally updated our websites to remove the old "VPS SSD APAC" Discovery offer which was no longer available for purchase (Please note they are no changes to existing clients with such VPS plan).
The new offer shown online (https://www.ovh.com/asia/vps/) is a range of Sandboxes which will be available via our Public Cloud Solution in both Singapore and Australia: 2 new regions opening early this year (Our tech teams are currently deploying the solution here (it is already available in our European and north american datacenters).
There will be also additional cloud instances (with dedicated resources) and cloud storage solution available.
Compared to the old VPS APAC Discover offer, OVH Public Cloud servers bring a lot more flexibility and options: Pay-as-you-go, additional disks, snapshots, private network.. https://www.ovh.com/asia/public-cloud/instances/features/
You can already find some details about the prices/specs online:
Regarding traffic/bandwidth for Australia and Singapore:
Hope this clarifies/helps
And are there any plans to bring back the original APAC offers?
Hello @tester4,
Sorry there are no plan to bring back the old offer as it was only a Discovery offer, however this does not mean we won't bring other VPS plans in APAC in the future.
Thanks
After OVH apac 2018 promotion ended, I asked you on twitter. For another SG VPS, But I got no respond.
In 2019, I saw hostdoc SG VPS, and buy it for a year.
Please make another vps in 2020. OVH I need you in singapore thank you.
