      I think you're looking for a VPN, not a VPS. A VPS is a Virtual Private Server, ideal for web hosting.

      • AssociatedOVHcloud ANZ @ OVH Australia on 21/06/2018 - 10:52

        Many thanks for removing the confusion @ViperAMD

    • CriticalImpact on 21/06/2018 - 10:42

      You could install a VPN server onto the instance then use that as a VPN. A lot more work but it's possible.

      Easiest method I could see would be to install docker, then load up a docker container of openvpn.

      • freewhere on 21/06/2018 - 10:50

        Any particular openvpn container u recommend.. I found kylemanna is it stable?

        • matt4711 on 21/06/2018 - 11:10

          Why not use github.com/trailofbits/algo I successfully deployed this to OVH and I'm using it as a VPN on my phone.

      • ryang on 21/06/2018 - 10:51

        Loading docker onto a single vCPU w/ 1GB RAM? Braver man than I!

        Setting up a VPN tunnel over SSH is also possible, higher overheads than OpenVPN though.

      • PeppaCat on 21/06/2018 - 11:17

    Hello @atj, appologize if the PDF links are currently broken. T&Cs can be read at step 4 of the ordering process.
    You can always retrieve T&Cs accepted under your account in the "control panel". This is also where you will manage your OVH service(s).

  • jj brisbane on 21/06/2018 - 11:30

    • AssociatedOVHcloud ANZ @ OVH Australia on 21/06/2018 - 11:55

      Hi @jj brisbane,
      Please note we do not offer additional storage options on these Asia-Pacific hosted VPS. The maximum you can get within this VPS serie is 80GB SSD (VPS SSD APAC 4 model). Alternatively you may look at models we offer in europe or canada.

  • bert-lifts on 21/06/2018 - 13:22

    OVH what are the specs on these VPS cpu's?

    vCores (at 3.5GHz) doesn't mean anything without some background info or benchmarks. Vultr now gives geekbench benchmark results so you have some idea of what the VPS your buying is capable of.

    It's important to know what's possible and what isn't with a VPS before purchasing.

    • Krazyy on 21/06/2018 - 13:25

      Good question.

    • sylvester328 on 21/06/2018 - 13:36
      +2

      Geekbench benchmark on my newly created 1 vCore VPS can be found here

      In short :
      Single-Core Score 4493
      Multi-Core Score 4316 (doesn't mean much in my case)

      • bert-lifts on 21/06/2018 - 13:46

        Thank you! Helps a lot.

        OVH should make these sort of benchmarks public info on their site.

        • Krazyy on 21/06/2018 - 13:48

          Is that considered a good score?

          @joshuah: actually yeah i am impressed.

          https://browser.geekbench.com/processor-benchmarks

          That single core score is equivalent to an i7 6700

        • bert-lifts on 21/06/2018 - 15:50

          @joshuah:

          For a VPS (at this price) it's really good actually. Whether it's good enough for you depends on what you're doing with it.

          If you get the 2 core VPS it should be equivalent to an i3-6300.

  • mostlygordon on 21/06/2018 - 13:32

          Click the id icon at top right corner, then click 'My account'. You should see 'My orders' at the left panel.

          clicking on Servers does nothing.

          that probably means it is not ready.

        We usually validate the first order on an account, for security purposes. The order is still processing and you will receive an email notification when it is delivered or if additional documentation is required to complete the order.

    Be aware when I arrived home I discovered OVH had processed a second unauthorised transaction on my PayPal account and I still have no VPS. I have a bad feeling about this business. Am about to complain to PayPal…

    • mostlygordon on 21/06/2018 - 22:31

      OP, please cancel my order. I can't see a way to do it on the CP. Might think about reordering once the second unauthorised transaction is explained.

      • AssociatedOVHcloud ANZ @ OVH Australia on 22/06/2018 - 11:43

        Hello @mostlygordon,
        Please not when you setup a payment method for the first time, there is a 1$ transaction which is done for validation purpose and which is of course refunded.
        I suggest you to contact our support for further information or cancelling your order if you wish to do so.

        • mostlygordon on 22/06/2018 - 12:10

          It was a $6.07 transaction. PalPay say it's being refunded. The initial amount ($39.60) was preauthorised, there is no $1 validation. Anyway, I'm with xEnt, too much like hard work…

    Signed up with OVH, paid 3 months via PP. 1 hour later, nothing.

    Called up the support number, apparently they need to manually validate my account. And the validation team is closed for the day, and they will be back in 12 hours. O_o.

    Be nice to know up front what they want. Due to the time zone differences, I wonder if this 'anti-fraud' validation is gonna take days to complete.

    • AssociatedOVHcloud ANZ @ OVH Australia on 02/07/2018 - 16:11

      Hi @snakeoilos,
      Thanks for sharing your feedback. Not all transactions requires validation but our anti-fraud system could be quite sensitive and depends on various details such as your registration details, payment method, location..etc..
      We will work on improving the manual process for new clients.

  • nemesis on 03/07/2018 - 09:38

    Review after 24 hours:
    * VPS was activated 23 minutes after payment
    - I probably didn't run into the same anti-fraud issues other folks here are reporting because I opted to pay direct (i.e. not with PayPal), and verify with Mastercard "3D Secure"
    * VPS performance looks reasonable
    - Disk writes are a bit slower than I'd expect from an SSD.
    - Latency appeares to fluctuate quite significantly (even an SSH session can feel like dialup sometimes). Unsure if this is related to host resource contention or DDOS system interfering causing packet loss
    * Web console is pretty awful.
    - Commands like "reboot" go into some queue, and can take ~5 minutes to execute.
    - If you swap between the rescue disk (which appears to PXE boot into a debian-derivative), you can cause a task to stall, and can no longer issue any more commands
    * Which brings me to … support responsiveness is dreadful. Claimed "24x7x265" support - logged a ticket and telephoned through a followup - took over 10 hours to resolve. Not what you want on your production servers!
    * No VNC console. You get a crude web VNC interface.

  • AssociatedOVHcloud ANZ @ OVH Australia on 04/07/2018 - 13:59

    Hello @nemesis,

    Thank you for your review and glad to see your VPS has been delivered within few minutes.
    If you get odd latency, could you please try the following:
    TO your server - mtr -o "J M X LSR NA B W V" -4wzbc 20 8.8.8.8
    then on the server itself, do mtr -o "J M X LSR NA B W V" -4wzbc 20 ' clients public ip'
    TO SERVER - mtr -o "J M X LSR NA B W V" -4wzbc 20 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    FROM server to client - mtr -o "J M X LSR NA B W V" -4wzbc 20 xxx.xx.xxx.xxx

    Then simply open a ticket with our support team via your control panel including all the above results or PM me here.

    Thank you.
