    OVH Dedicated "gaming" server question

    So I'm looking at OVH's Dedicated "gaming" Server plan, and i was wondering if i have to pay extra to get a MySQL server and a control panel, or is that included?

    MySQL is free. What control panel you are talking about? Some are free, some are not.

    Could you mention which ones are free? I can't seem to find any information on it.

    MySQL is a free database service, in this case (maybe) OVH suggest you hire a new virtual/physical server to run this service

    Alright, we'll see when i purchase it tomorrow. I'm also wondering if it's worth it to purchase the gaming one or just the hosting one. I like having KVM.

    I suggest you inform with OVH to see if KVM is available (by default) with their servers.
    MySQL can be installed easily via CLI on most linux distributions, it's not that hard.

    If you have little knowledge, it might be worth picking a provider who can help you getting this installed (perhaps a managed solution?).

    KVM is available by default with their "HOST" Dedicated plan, but not with the "GAME" one, which is a little disappointing.

    If you have root access to the server, you can install your own software (MySQL, control panels, etc,.). I'd imagine since you're renting a server, you'll have such access. I'm also certain if it's a standard deployment, it would already be installed for you. Just jump in there and begin querying away.

    No offense but if you don't have any experience with Linux or dedicated servers you shouldn't choose OVH as your first stop, otherwise we will probably see another review titled "OVH sucks never use them" in a few weeks. Realistically one shouldn't need KVM unless they mess up the pre-configured network interfaces, plus it's a bit pricey anyway for their non-standard plans.

    Very true.

    If you have no linux experience, as he said "no offence", and it seems that you don't, you will need to pay more for a managed solution.

    Just off the top of my head, SingleHop is very costly but they will do pretty much anything including installing and configuring the software for you.

    Grab a control panel depending upon your requirement; there hosting solution would only come with a server, but make sure to grab the KVM/IPMI access so that you have full control over your server.
