OVH Black Friday Deals for 2024 are out now Black Friday

---

 

Yeah lots sold out. What did you get?

edit: I ended up picking up a dedicated which will replace one of my current OVH Centmin Mod development server.

Went from

• Intel Core i7 4790K
• 32GB non-ECC DDR4-1600Mhz
• 1x 240GB SSD
• 100Mbps public up/down
• US$36/month
• AlmaLinux 9

to

• Intel Xeon E3-1270v6
• 64GB ECC DDR4-2400Mhz
• 2x 450GB NVMe SSD raid 1
• 300Mbps public up/down
• US$39/month
• Rocky Linux 9 (need to do more manual Rocky Linux testing)

Definitely more resources for the price

nice they're using Intel DC P3520 450GB NVMe datacenter drives which is 3D MLC nand part U.2 form factor with:

• Maximum Read Transfer Rate 1.17 GB/s
• Maximum Write Transfer Rate 600 MB/s

Pretty old and not as fast as newer NVMe drives but still faster than my 240GB SSD in old OVH

Nice guess picked for disk space?

 

Keep this you have 2 more cores/4 more threads and for your usage network speed would matter especially when backup and restorations come I to play for external backups. FYI, Intel Xeon E-2274 is only 4 core/8 threads vs E-2236 is 6c/12t

I thought you were still with Clouvider ? I still have their Black Friday deal from a few years ago

Intel E-2276 6c/12t
32gb ram
2X960GB NVMe raid 1
100GB/month at 10Gbps NIC
US$89/month

Though for you, OVH Rise-2 Intel Xeon E-2388 8c/16t 64GB with 2X960GB is still priced cheaper than Hivelocity server and has 1Gbps unmetered bandwidth. Though OVH does not really have good support response times and only for hardware issues. Only stuff I put on OVH, are sites and data I can live with multiple days of downtime

 

Indeed $ per core is nice

 

Indeed true as well - haven't needed to use their support majority of the time Did though for a few OS reloads where the server was stuck and needed OVH intervention though. IIRC, they did get it fixed within 24hrs though. So for the price, I'd say it was ok.

 

True though they have discounts too and if you pre-annually get another 30% off.

But yes OVH pricing is tempting. Many times I thought out moving this forum off Linode to OVH but Linode won out many times - but close this year for OVH. I am working on for paid clients a Centmin Mod high-availability solution that allows sites to survive a single server downtime to varying degrees. So then OVH would be a viable option i.e. multiple OVH servers in clustered/load balanced state

 

Only need ID verification for 1st time order in each OVH location. Afterwards, you don't need ID verification. I only had to do ID verification once for OVH Canada/USA and once for OVH Australia.

 

Extra 10% discount for Cyber Monday it seems
