    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

    server came back up, but the whole filesystem was read only ? and some files were missing

    then server went down again

    what the hell is going on?! this is very annoying

    i never seen a server this unreliable

    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,
    why the hell would you get a box in a country like that and then expect support?
    tip: learn french.

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