ovh stay away
got a server from ovh.fr
it took a week to deliver
tried contacting support? what support?! its non existent
in the last 10 hours i had to remote reboot 4 times! the server is idle btw so i dont see how it can be so unstable
at this moment of time its completely unpingable and unreachable
overall stay away from this crowd!

maybe its hardware related
why would an idle server (i only got the server 24 hours ago i havent even got a chance to do anythign with it yet) crash with no reason (4 times in less than half a day)?
now its completely unpingable for the last hour

maybe you should use the os reinstall feature on the control panel.....If you dont understand french well you may find that you are acctually using the netboot....I have a ovh server its very stable...what OS are you using?

0wned,

How could they sell you this server if it's available only for French?
