Any thoughts for "Intel i7-4790K" based server to host XF/WP ?

Even it's second / third hand hardware... that price is a ripoff. Normally, the prices on that site are "supposed" to be cheaper. Oh well, I guess OVH is in the business of making money. I'm guessing the newb who wants to setup that gaming server is going to get taken, unless he does some research. The worst is that $69 setup fee... that's like throwing away money.

 

Of course, karma has gotten me. After I made the post about SOS / OVH my server (cloud) went down. It's been down for about 6 hours. Karma is a bitch.

OVH Tasks

I'm still offline.

 

Awhile. I think it has been around 6 hours. I hope to get a credit because of the 99.9% SLA.

I've always had a dedicated myself. But since I was preparing to move to centminmod, I cancelled my $150 a month server and went to the cloud VPS for $57 until I made the move. I have to also upgrade my IPB forum to the newest software, which I'm in the process of creating a template.

 

The cloud hasn't been that bad for the price. Though, I hate the 100 mbps. But besides that, it's been pretty stable running cpanel and 1 forum. It's just a stopgap until I upgrade my forum and move to centminmod. Better than paying $150 a month.

 

Electrical blowout!

@RoldanLT how the setup running for you?

@eva2000 just got an email today about the SLA. At the end of the week I'll be getting another email which outlines the credit I will receive. One thing about OVH they're on top of their SLA. This is the second time I've got a credit. OVH has been the only hosting company I've ever got a credit from... of course, not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

 

Excellent to hear. I think I might end up getting one of those instead of the Enterprise Level Severs next week.

I also like the fact that Anti-DDoS Game has Two-way mitigation of L3, L4, and L7. Anti DDoS Pro doesn't.

Looks like they just upgraded their Anti DDoS Game on March 7th. Though the article seems to be missing.

I didn't even realize you could disable the firewall if you wanted too. I don't remember seeing that when I had the dedicated server. Good to know.

Are you using Sucuri Security — Website Security, WAF, Website AntiVirus instead? I wonder how OVH's DDoS protection compares to other services?

 

Raid 0 - you're a gambling man.

Any reason why you went with XFS vs. ext_ ?
