Thread: OVH.FR

Hi mates,

This thread is intended to review all the servers coming from the french OVH network ( including kimsufi's that are the cheapest servers).

I had already tried several servers from them more than a year ago, at that same time, you had to pay setup fees around 50 EUR.

Now, you don't have to :)

Name: OVH FR ( kimsuffi ) Kimsufi 2G
CPU : Intel Atom/Celeron 1.20 Ghz
RAM : 2 GB
HDD : 1TB
Speed: 100 Mbit dedicated
Support: never had to use it ( wich believe me is the best scenario you can expect )
GUI: Deluge
Speed of GUI: 10/10
Price: 17.93 EUR VAT included
Data uploaded/ month : 8 TB
Overall rating: 10/10

Well, i have nothing negative to say about this server.
It's dedicated, you can install any OS you'd like (debian, ubuntu, centOS etc..)
as many times you need, the process takes 15-20 minutes.

The performance is great, hashing a 30GB torrent takes about 8-9 minutes.
You can easily max out the connection both ways at the time, meaning you can download at 10 MB/s while uploading at the same speed !

Beware though, having more than 3 or 4 big torrents downloading and uploading at the same time will decrease the overall performance.

I did upload 8 TB ( using different trackers including high level ones ) in a month and without autoDL scripts and could have done way more,
there is no cap, it's totally unmetered.

So far, that's the best deal i ever had ( 8TB for 18 EUR !! ).

I believe the OVH FR offers are only for french or europeans ( i'm not sure exactly how many countries are excluded ).

But you will find their servers being resold by a lot of seedbox companies.



Cheers

must absolutely agree i have 2 from them and am more than sattisfied with both speed and performance and the price rook my breath away

Got a Kimsufi 2g as well running Deluge, I'm more than happy with what I got. I'd absolutely recommend it to everyone sitting on a low budget as well, as it's only ~17€ :)

Yes I have one as Americans can now order kimis :) I got it with windows an can do what I want with servers. Its 40 USD as we pay no vat. Great deal indeed.

Just got mine, I used wget to download a file from leaseweb's mirror and I went absolutely bananas when I saw 12MB/s! I didn't have time to install something, but according to the reviews I have been reading so far, everything will be good! Price is amazing as well, kimsufi 18€!

guys to any 1 that doesnt know heres my help if u decide to get 1 dont remove ssh keys or they will confiscate the server i know cause it just happened, hopefully will get it back not sure at present

Are you sure that's the reason? I removed them and have no problem since one week.
It's weird because they even have a tutorial on how to install or remove the ssh keys: OVH : InstallOvhKey

I also have one, but sadly only a co.uk Kimsufi.
For this price and storage it's definitely a great deal though.

Can someone please tell me how long does it take OVH to setup Kimsufi server? On Kimsufi.co.uk it says 1hour, but everything is in french on ovh.com :) I ordered one 3 hours ago, and they accepted my payment, but nothing is yet visible in manager on website, not even order in progress
Ok I managed to translate the contract, and it says 7 day maximum

Usually it takes from a couple of hours to 48 hours.
