While I see your point, the ideology still exists that it is often a more expensive place for hosts to locate themselves in. My largest concern with OVH is not necessarily the data center itself or even power; moreso the massive amount of bandwidth required. If their current setup is anything to...

I'm just wondering who, especially in those locations, could meet their price range without them owning the facility. It'd be very, very difficult, especially if they intend to deploy their Kimsufi and SoYouStart brands in those locations as well. Beyond that, them building out in existing data...

I don't see how OVH intends to reliably finance 12 new data centers, much less provide sustainable service in the Asian markets. I'm sure they'll have to either raise their prices for the Asia-Pacific region servers, reduce the included/"guaranteed" bandwidth, or both.

Seems to me they don't want to give them up. Cloud services are wasteful on IPv4 and they operate in a relatively low-profit area of the industry; maybe they're holding them back for sale?

After days of DDoS attacks on their infrastructure, Linode has just posted that their management console has been compromised. Tweet: https://twitter.com/linode/status/684448030867734528 Quoted Post: "Security Notification and Linode Manager Password Reset January 5, 2016 1:53 pm...

Their problem has everything to do with a lack of IPs, as well as (at the time) fairly significant network congestion. They've mainly fixed the network congestion, but IPs are kinda hard to come by - as you well know.

Not the kind of customers I'd want to run with - spammers, attackers, etc. Out of the 8 or so sign-ups from that promotion, 6 of them were found to be doing something illegal or immediately marked for fraud.

I hope I never know what it's like to rely on a site called LowEndTalk for my business. I posted an offer there once in my life for a 512MB VM - never again.

People here are significantly less dickish than people on WebHostingTalk, who are ready to crucify you the second you make a minor mistake - I know this from experience.

I find this post very nearly offensive. Especially the "any real company can easily justify the one-time fees". While it's true that a responsible hosting provider should most certainly have X amount in reserve based on their direct costs of operation, saying that a small business that otherwise...

300GB of data on a residential connection... It's not like this is a 4G connection where the usage is often spread out over multiple towers; this is usage in a single location. Comcast themselves say it's not at all due to congestion; so what's it for? They can't provide a legitimate reason...

So you need 100 Windows-based VMs for only 30 days? May I ask exactly what you intend to do with those?

Partial is a relative term. All of the OVH customers I talked to at the time (50+-member Skype chats, forums, IRC) were offline (or at least very highly unstable) for the vast majority of the day.

It's not like this is the first instance... a couple months ago, a car struck a telephone pole outside the DC and brought the entire network down.

You'd think such a large provider, no matter how budget-oriented, would have a higher level of redundancy on primary fiber runs. I subscribe to the school of thought that a DC with over 800Gbps of capacity and hundreds of thousands of servers shouldn't be brought down by something like this...

I drive a 2014 Chevy Malibu 2LT. Nothing fancy or over-the-top, but I like it well enough.

I'd like to add that setup times on these will be generally quick, as we've got the servers racked already. If you've got any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Wyatt T.

General support requests have generally been answered in the 10-30 minute range, while emergency/optimization requests were answered faster in most situations. We've got our own detection hardware on-site with three different sources of optimization - our own team, Steadfast's network team, and...

Recognize that I'm late to the party here, but we've had a great experience with Staminus so far. Very willing to help out with optimization of everything from initial detection of attacks to the mitigation itself. Decently fast support, and the replies themselves are nothing but pleasant and...

Long time no see, vpsBoard... but we're glad to be back! Coming at you again with some actually exclusive deals - you won't find this copy-pasted on WHT or LowEnd<insert word here>. We're making this short and sweet for your viewing pleasure. ;) Ready2Frag.com is the gaming-oriented hosting...
