The network sometimes unstable but I believe they will fixed it soon :)

Regarding the disk I/O that is not the real speed actually, many provider try to increasing that for marketing purposes, those SSD has pretty decent IOPing :D

Can you change the thread title so it talk about server in general and not just OVH? :D

Mine aren't :D I co-lo there.. I have 2x Hardware RAID10 in my servers.. SATA3 in one, SSD in the other RAID.

My Atlanta server at Colo Cross.. Not sure why CacheFly is so slow though :(

Without SSD cached and you can reach those speed, impressive :D
 
Whatever you do, absolutely do not, do not, do not go with ColoCrossing. They are horrible. Most legitimate providers, myself included, have their entire IP space blocked in our firewalls, due to the spam and other nonsense that comes from their network. And frankly, the owners just don't give a damn about fixing it. They SWIP IPs illegally, move known spammers around the network and to different IP blocks, etc. This is a VERY well known fact. Simply adding their ASN to our firewalls dropped our server loads by a factor of 10 across the board. No joke!

In June ColoCrossing achieved 5th place on SpamHaus' distinguished list of the World's Worst Spam Support ISPs. Believe they took the #4 spot for a bit. Currently, ColoCrossing is responsible for over 1% of all spam sent to inboxes globally on a daily basis.

Is that from Soyoustart/OVH? I wonder why the routes are so horrible to NL. Seems odd, since I was under the impression they had pretty decent routes to their other DCs in Europe.

No, a new server from other host.
Sorry :D
 
You guys were doing good prices for dedicated servers, let's see how good of a deal you think this is.

UK Host.
X3360 @ 2.83GHz (4 cores)
8 Gigs DDR2
1x's SSD @ 240 Gigs
1x's HDD @ 250 Gigs
Windows 2008R2
10TB Monthly Traffic with 100mb/s

Guess how much per month?

I pay £78.50 per month, after VAT... and a 50% recurring monthly discount.
 
Can you push bandwidth over the OVH internal network if you have a server from the SYS line and one from OVH direct?

It's not a bad price at all, especially considering the Windows license. Without the 50% discount, it would be a complete rip-off. :D That said, the processor is about 7 some-odd years old and reached EOL some time ago, 8GB isn't all that much RAM these days, and DDR2 is going to be slow. Your server is in no way going to be able to compete against modern servers.

That said, if it meets your needs, it meets your needs. What most people fail to realize is that an average static website can be hosted on an old Pentium 4 without any difficulties at all. Is it the newest? No. Is it the fastest? No. But if it's working, who cares? If your site gets bigger and your server starts getting overloaded, it's going to pretty easy to figure out where you can upgrade.
 
I rag it pretty hard and there really isn't a lot of overhead as it runs game servers amoung alot of other things.
I know compared to what's out there I could probably do a lot better, but from what I've seen - the network certainly seems a lot better (by a couple of ms latency), and any ticket is usually responded to within 5 minutes...

I try and ignore the state of the box choosing to not worry about the hardware failure imminent warnings I've seen through software 'not recommended for use' by the support team. So I think I stick around because I like knowing it's physically closer. How silly am I?

Edit: Cannot sense make
