New Servers ?

OVH just updated their server packages in their budget division. http://www.kimsufi.co.uk/ks/

The cheap-o one (this site uses one at the moment) is now £1 less and there is a new £43.19 a month (incl VAT) with massive RAM and a i5 CPU.

... hoping to upgrade to one of those at some point over the holiday if it looks like it will be affordable.

Look forward to a super speedy forum :D

With so much spare server I could offer some cool services, free hosting, game servers etc too :) That could be fun right :D

Very cheap... hopefully I'll have a reason to upgrade soon too...

    echo "I am excited";
}
else if (lots of potential === execution)
{
   echo "people will be amazed";
}
I see a slogan in there somewhere too...

Is server upgrade free or do you need to do the 49.99 setup charge? :P

I have to pay the setup fee :( But I would pay for a year so it's free.

They have been planning to make setup fee £0 for existing members for about 3 years :lol:

Premium item sales cover that amount at the moment (just), and I am planning on making a load of new things in the stupidly long holiday I get. So it looks like it will be affordable.

I'm looking at buying a VPS from OVH kimsufi right now, and its asking me if someone recommended them to me, and you sort of did.

Do you have a " NicHandle "?

Do you get anything for being a referrer? :)

Also, I just ordered. It might take up to one week to set everything up according to the confirmation email :)

did you get a dedicated?

It normally takes aroudn 30 minutes maximum (installing OS etc)

And you used to be able to watch the installation process with status updates online (dont know if you can anymore)
