OVH "end of the world sale" - 50% CA/US datacenter servers

[ayzo]

OVH probably has the best price to speed ratio out there but they've also got a coupon for 50% off your first month.

coupon code: APOCALYPSE

Dedicated servers. - OVH

Obviously you don't want to run enterprise/mission critical stuff there but if you need a fast and cheap server they're a good choice. The servers are in Canada but you still get fast speeds, here's a speedtest.net test to a server in Houston on a 100mbps server:

In all seriousness, the prices look pretty good - in a similar range to Hetzner.

Damn, misread and thought it was a recurring discount. (didn't buy though)

Still a good deal though.

OVH has super stabile network for me, since years most donwtimes i had were due to ie HD swaps or RAM fuckin up, not the line itself

same here, stable for me and so cheap. my server's in france though.

crazy how cheap everything's got, i had some popular sites back in the early 00s, the bandwidth costs killed me.

Trying one for a month. Pretty decent specs for the price (got the SP1). I imagine you are pretty much on your own at these prices. Got it allocated within 20 minutes. Right off the bat DNS was not resolving to their nameserver. Changed the /etc/resolv.conf file to use Google's, so got that working. Anyone else experience any stupid shit at first? Do they have an English speaking forum? I haven't looked. I'll do some benchmarking and frig with it a little more later.
