LowEndBox - Cheap VPS, Hosting and Dedicated Server Deals

Kimsufi - €2.99/Month 2GB Atom Dedicated Server in Gravelines (Dunkirk), France

This offer was shared on LowEndTalk here and also here. Kimsufi, a subsidiary of OVH, are offering a Atom Dedicated server for just €2.99/Month!

KS 2G Dedicated Server

  • 2GB RAM
  • Intel Atom CPU 1.6Ghz
  • 500GB Harddrive
  • 100Mbps unmetered
  • 1 IPv4 Address
  • 1 IPv6 Address
  • €2.99/Month | Order Link

Please note that delivery times are fairly long (up to 10 days) and seemingly non-EU citizens are not eligible for this deal.

A whole dedicated server for €2.99/Month – it must be Aprils fools day? No, this is a real offer. We are not sure how many of these are available, so if you’re interested don’t hesitate in ordering. So far all servers have been provisioned with brand new HDDs. You will have to sign up for a minimum of 3 months. You can pay via paypal for an additional fee. VAT is payable if you’re from the EU. You can use the UK site if you live in the UK or the Irish site if you’re from Ireland, USA, or Canada. What are your thoughts on this server? Do you think this will reshape the lowend market?

Network Information:

Servers are located at their new datacenter in Gravelines (Dunkirk), France.

      It’s obviously not so good on cpu or on disk i/o, but then again it’s not shared so it takes away the risks of attacks like the one we saw on most LEB providers using openvz a few weeks ago. I don’t think I’ll be buying anymore VPS if I can get one of these OVH servers. For streaming, email and small webhosting this is perfect for me…

        Indeed, performance won’t be as good as say a ramnode vps but it is dedicated as you said.

          These are most likely sled chassis, so it’s worth bearing in mind that these are not as dedicated as as 1u server for example. There could be shared PSU and so on, it depends on how they have implemented the sleds.

    The fine print, at least on the French site:

    “Available only for residents of the European Union.”

    I ordered one before reading that. So I guess they’ll probably cancel the order.

        Few weeks ago I submitted a ticket asking if OVH accepts international customers. The reply was that customers without OVH country representatives should go to OVH.com (French) to make order. Sadly I just re-checked the support ticket link and it says “Not available at the moment”. Not sure if they delete it or something.

        Yea. But the French site allows you to choose any country. Even Asian countries including India are listed there. If they didnt accept non EU customers, it doesnt make sense to leave that selection box with so many options.

    “You can use the UK or Irish site if you’d like to order in English”

    UK site: you must be a UK resident
    Irish site: you must live in Ireland, USA, or Canada (if you’re a new customer and from the US or Canada you will need to verify your identity)

    The residency requirements are strictly enforced on the UK and IE sites so if you’re from another country you’ll need to order in French from kimsufi.com which is currently limiting orders to EU residents only and imposing a limit of 3 Kimsufi products per person:

    > Disponibilité sous réserve de la validation de votre commande et dans la limite des stocks disponibles.
    Usage : Serveur personnel. Non autorisé pour la revente. Limité à 3 serveurs par personne physique ou morale.
    Disponible uniquement pour les habitants de l’Union Européenne.

    Here is a Benchmark

    …and here is an uptime from a Kimsufi N2800…they’re very reliable

    uptime
     12:26:07 up 233 days, 11:42,  0 users,  load average: 0.04, 0.05, 0.09

          Not sure what Ireland has to do with that. Within the Eu you have a common legal payment framework. Besides that the VAT applicability is simple. Both are not the case with countries outside the EU. The company is just trying to “protect” its equity by having customers that are from abusiness administration perspective solvent customers as payment can be enforced.

      I would not take that into account much, except for the 3 servers per person, and the EU restriction.

      If it says: “3 servers per person or per company”, and “personal server”, I think those statements are basically contradicting each other a bit, I mean if it’s personal only, how can companies use it?

      Anyway I find this restriction good, because there are many people out there wanting to resell these, you get 100 of them for 300 euro or something, and then you started selling them at 20 euro a piece, that is not really fair, and I think a lot of ‘business’ oriented people did that, the limitation was not in place in the first day, as I remember.

        They probably mean that companies can use it but cannot resell it. So if you want to use it as bastion host, apt repo, whatever — fine, just don’t rent it and then rent out to a customer of yours.

      We cant complain at the price, just let them do their thing, they are usually 1 hour setup when stock is good

    I sent them a ticket to ovh.pt (the portuguese division) and they reply in a few hours, they were honest and told they were having unexpected issues and don’t have an exact date when the new servers will be up, still setting up the new things on the new data center, so what we can do is wait.

    Not sure if it was the most smart thing to do, start selling servers without having everything working, but still for that price it will worth the wait!

        I’m wondering if they are gonna keep this price for like forever – they are selling it already for a week in this price. If it’s not just a limited-time SALE it is gonna shake the market and make most VPSs virtually uneconomical.

    I just got this email from ovh UK

    Dear customer,

    unfortunately, your orders for kimsuf server had to be cancelled, because of an issue with Paypal.

    You can find an explanation here from our managing director:

    http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showpost.php?p=47317&postcount=1

    you can go ahead and place another order via bank card, though we’ve closed the ordering for the ks-2g for a few days/weeks, as we’ve already received 15000 orders.

    In any case, this is not an offer, it’s the model that will be selling for the next year, so you’ll be able to get one very soon anyway.

    My order has been cancelled because they weren’t able to fulfil it in the 10 days, as the contract declared to be the maximum amount of time. I am very disappointed because I would’ve waited longer if they only let me. Now I have to look for a new company, since they won’t have that particular server (the smallest one) until the next month.

      After 10 days they told me the payment couldn’t be verified which is bull as i have other ovh servers paid monthly from the same account, looks like a publicity / data mining exercise after their sercurity breach.

    Order(1 x KS2G) cancelled after pending for 11days.
    Mail states ‘Unfortunately, this payment could not be validated.’ , no other info.
    I’m an EU citizen and payed with paypal, so I don’t really know what and why couldn’t be validated(and what took 11days?)?!
    Zero communication, zero info about anything, wouldn’t recommend anyone.

          Simply *took* too many orders you mean which is exactly my point.
          I ordered on the 27th, others i know on the 26th none were fulfilled but they continued to accept orders for further 10 days.
          a) The offer came right after the bad publicity from data breach
          b) how hard is it to set a stock limit to prevent ‘too many orders’

    Our gaming clan used to have one of their servers (in France), and it lagged all day and night, to the point we binned it for a Leaseweb server.

    So i thought, hey lets try this offer out (for a dedicated LAMP system), and like everyone else i get shafted in the ass, by these rogues. If Lowend has any sense they will never post anything from this shoddy company ever again.

    After the whole Iniz fubar moving servers and constant maintenance, its making for a real fun 2 months.

    summary of the current situation:

    1) you can only order if you are a resident of the EU
    2) paypal orders were canceled because of the paypal fees AND a lot of guys tried to shit OVH with multi paypal accounts so that they can buy more than 3 machines per person and resell them. paypal orders were canceled. they only accept credit card, bank transfer.
    3) they are getting 1000 pieces of hardware per week from intel at the moment. they try to get more but it is unclear.
    4) the costumers who allready have a domain name assigned and have pingable machines have to wait further because the final install will happen when they have their new connectivity lines ready.

Yes it did decrease, yes they now sell a worse server for the same price (the RAID part mentioned above is also true). Still seriously want to ask “but why”?

    It seems like very unserious behavior from a supposedly known and established provider like OVH.

    I called them 3 days after the purchase and they told me that everything is fine with the payment.

    However after a few more days I saw a topic on lowendtalk that they’re cancelling all orders made with PayPal.

    I called them again (it was about the 10th day of purchase) and they confirmed that the payment was cancelled.

    I’ve been waiting for 10 days for my server, and they did not even notified me for the cancellation for all that time. I’ve received an e-mail today (on the 12th day) that the payment was cancelled.

    Are they selling these servers or not ?

      Please describe into more detail. If you are looking for minimum requirements of Minecraft then you can easily host a server on 256MB RAM. But it won’t be able to handle alot of players. The more RAM the more players and less lagg. 1GB RAM is enough for 12players if not a little more.

      This will be perfectly fine for a decent sized Minecraft Server. Minecraft servers hosted in EU are good connection from the UK, if it’s hosted in US you’re gunna get some bad ping/lagg.

    When pressed the impression is “like Peter Pan” from Never Never Land .. currently cancelling and I do not want to read about how low OVH prices are compared to VPS’s in these reviews .. the other postings are real and exist , anyone can charge 2,99 and then not deliver ..

    After 15 days without news, and after being written the payment was ok and wait a max of 10 days, today I called on the phone: they told me my order was canceled. No explanation, canceled. No email, nothing. If you care you chould call and inform yourself.
    They made an offer they cannot sustain, so the made a “select all”->Delete on all orders. And fuck you stupid customer.
    The rep on the phone told me a max of 1 server per month is allowed for each country. Hope we was simply stupid. They only mantain the 3x cost offer at 9.99 to make you switch there. Not 3x memory, not 3x space, not 3x power.

      the reasons why Adam the forum is to delay you further – is they have your money – think about it possibly 2000+ or more 3month payments of approx 10eu / 12usd , if 50% payments just ‘give up ‘ beyond 60+ days , that is 10,000 eu just for a single post on LEB and all the pro- marketing posts from the ‘me too’ / ‘ovh is cheaper’ . OVH 2.99/month and ‘Shangri La’ have one thing in common – both are fantasy – cancel now and ask yourself the question “could I build power and host a server of that spec for 2,99eu a month” – you kno the answer indeed as I did and could kick myself now for wasting 12 days ..

      pay the money to a good VPS or dedicated server supplier and sleep at night

    The HDD is a 7200rpm 500GB Toshiba SATA 6GB/s

    You also get an IPv6/64 subnet.

    Ok, got frustrated and re-created the server destroying all the previous content to start from scratch, server was successfully created, but no password to login…. submitted tons of email to their customer services, nothing… nobody seem to be reading it.

    We are waiting for over 9 hours for these people to respond back… no they won’t.
