Dedicated server for 3 €

[Aldryic C'boas]

Goddammit boss, quit undermining my point

So... if you buy a 700$ Television, and a few months after they reduce the price to 600$.. do you go to the store and demand the difference?

I'd settle for standing in line and buying at the new price and not seeing that their delivery company canceled the order after they all left the office for the weekend.


Is my bitterness showing?

few months

I added a full years worth of service about 8 days before them announcing this price-drop, ofcourse I'm going to be pissed

Aah, aye, different situation entirely from what I was envisioning.  'pologies for that.

This scenario is pretty much exactly why we don't do discounts, coupons, etc >_>

how do ovh make profit with this type of prices?

They are not planning to.  It is a marketing stunt.

If anyone tests that server, just curious to know results. They do not offer it outside of EU, UK and USA.

My own experience with extremely inexpensive dedicated servers is with Digicube.fr. A good experience.

They are too big to care about a single customer.

I would never pay anything from them on a yearly form of payment.

avaibility 1-10 days

let's wait

They changed the processor too. Now it is a single core Atom http://www.ovh.de/dedicated_server/isgenug.xml

Atom was the cpu advertised when I ordered.

Payment was confirmed and I received a Control Panel login on Saturday, but no server setup yet.

Curious to know if anyone has yet received their passwords...

?

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!  It's called a loss-leader and it appears to have done it's job.

Nope, sent in a ticket asking for a rough estimate on when the server should be deployed since I ordered when it still said 24 hours.


Took 2 days to get a ticket reply with a link to the kimsufi forum (all in french).


On tuesday it will be 7 days since I got the payment confirmation.

 

[drmike]

So who got there server delivered and happens to be non-EU customer?   How is the offer going?

Very compelling offer

 

[clarity]

Are we no longer able to buy Kimsufi servers at all from the US? That is how it reads to me, but I wanted to see if anyone else had any insight.

 

[mikho]

Leta see if they deliver to us EU people at all.


Still waiting

10 days today. They cancelled mine - sold out.

F.Y.I. I'm an EU customer.

Sorry to hear that. I should expect the same fate then.

Quite shitty of them to take payment and then cancel.

The exact same thing happened to me. I ordered two and they were both canceled and the money refunded. I am also from Europe so I guess the reason is that they are in short supply. I have contacted their customer support, but I don't have high expectations.

Probably.


Think they have something line if they cant deliver within the number of daysas posted on their website the money is refunded and the customer have to order again if he really wants it.
