OVH are running promotions as part of a summer sale. You can get a discount on all of their available Virtual Private Servers, as long as you commit to paying annually. Note that unlike Vultr (and maybe others), OVH servers don't exceed 100Mbps.

They are also running promotions on their dedicated servers but none of them are hosted in the Australian data centres. If you're purely looking for a dedicated server for hardware and don't mind data centre location, then SoYouStart (company that is part of OVH) are also running promotions starting at USD$36/month (There is a set-up fee if you pay monthly).

My early APAC trial VPS has never had an outage since the day I got it (~18 months ago), would highly recommend.

Is anybody here using one of these as a Usenet/Plex server and has any comments on these?

  You'd get away with the ram - plex metadata might eat a fair chunk of that disk. 3TB a month is pretty low.
  I would look to something else really. If you do your usenetting elsewhere you could manage it.

    Aah I didn't notice the bandwidth limit. Would chew through that in no time…

  I'd personally avoid VPS for Usenet/Plex. Ideal to have something in your home or dedicated if you don't have FTTP NBN. But if you must use a VPS it'll work ok for Plex, can't speak for Usenet performance though. I've tried OVH as a Plex server in the past and they worked fine, personally prefer Vultr but for the price this is quite attractive.

    I've got a server at home at the moment but I'd like to move to the cloud - one less thing to worry about. I have FTTC NBN.
    
    Thanks for the opinion - I'll have a look at Vultr too!

      If you're willing to spend quite a bit more then it's definitely doable. I've personally had good luck with this seedbox provider. Will cost you at least ~$22 AUD for 1TB. I know these things are generally used for torrents but I used it with Usenet and Plex and they worked pretty good, support is also very helpful.
      
      If you'd like something dedicated then you can also look at Hetzner auctions (~$44 AUD) and setup a VPS with reverse proxy to get better peering to Australia. Obviously this is a lot more expensive but this is a solution I was using last year, and it worked pretty well. Unfortunately the Hetzner guys raised their prices, their old ones were very attractive but they were clearly losing money on it. Still great price for hardware though.

        @jwilthethrill: Hi,
        
        if you don't mind me asking. I have just got Vultr and created a ssh tunnel to my hetzner. Speed definitely has improved.
        
        will OVH be better than the Vultr VPS in Sydney?

        @yimzhu: I used OVH for 6 months and Vultr for only 1, but when I switched to Vultr I found that it performed better.
        
        Wouldn't be a bad idea to try OVH for this price, though.
        
        Vultr generally has the better network performance but OVH is very stable.

These are just first year subscription costs aren't they? Hoping to find a lifetime discount Australian VPS deal soonish
- jwilthethrill on 22/01/2020 - 16:05
  
  Forgot to add that, but yes. Unfortunately it only applies for the first year.

I got AU OVH dedi as plex server (cheap overseas feeder)
250Mbps on dedi and network is rock solid. Do recommend!
