    Hi sirronbin

    OVH isn't yet live in Australia and we'll guarantee to have your server online before a OVH server goes live :)

    $99 a month?! That's less than the cost of 2 bottles of Pepsi!

  What the hell is premium bandwidth…

  Are you just using that word to describe direct links to Telstra or what?

    Hello athk

    Premium bandwidth is when we connect with several upstream providers and peering networks to offer both lower latency and upstream redundancy for our network.

  This is good timing for us. WWE currently have a windows server in the office and would like to move it to a hosted server.

  The major sticking point is transferring our data over to a hosted server. It's not a lot on the scheme of things, about 100gb or so. What are the options for getting our data to your servers?

    Hello brentsbits

    We've helped a lot of customers in this position before where the customer can send into us an external hard disk drive with the data on it and we can plug that disk drive into the server so that you can copy the data onto it and once this is done, we can send the disk drive back to you or alternatively (as a lot of customers have done), we can keep it onsite for you and you can use it to backup the data from the server to it.

    Feel free to reach out to our Sales team if you like and we can discuss how we can better help you.

      Where is your datacentre?

      Also, are these windows servers? Is windows able to be installed if they aren't?

        For Sydney, we're located in the Equinix data centres that are located Mascot.

        For Melbourne, we're in the Equinix data centre that is in Port Melbourne.

        What about windows on the servers?

        @brentsbits:

        Sorry.. Yes, Windows can be installed and there's a license fee for this.
        You're welcome to contact our Sales Team ( [email protected] ) and they can help you with the pricing for the Windows licensing.

        @exigent:

        If we have our own license already I assume we can just transfer that over?

        @brentsbits:

        That would come under Microsoft's license Mobility and we do not do that I'm afraid.

        brentsbits on 03/01/2017 - 14:36

        @exigent:

        What do you mean? We have a license key, you can install the software and we activate it with our license key. Very odd that that would be a problem for you.

        @brentsbits:

        Not a problem as much for us but more so that your license has to be a Mobility License with Microsoft to be allowed to use it elsewhere. There's quite a bit of work involved to make it a mobility license as well and hence we don't support it because of the work and time involved in doing this.

        It's always recommended that you should read the license agreement because you'll find that once it's installed onto a particular machine, it's licensed to that machine forever and after.

        @exigent:

        Your sales guys aren't that helpful. I asked them for details and some opinions on what server hardware I'd need. They didn't give me any suggestions just rattled off some prices from the website.

        i'm still talking to them but sales people should generally be working towards selling me something that fits my needs, rather than just quoting me prices.

        Hi Brentsbits

        I believe our team made the best recommendation for your applications that you're going to running and what you were going to use the server for so that there wouldn't be any performance issues.

        Feel free to get contact our Sales team again if you still need assistance.

  This compares very well to AWS. Well done.

  • 

    scotty on 04/01/2017 - 08:53

    Hardly comparable. AWS is expensive, flexible, comes in various services & an API. This is just cheap bare metal dedicated server with some "premium bandwidth" and that's it.

    • 

      guidedlight on 04/01/2017 - 21:26

      Yeah, I agree. AWS does offer vastly more value.

      But for 95% of businesses, they just want a server to run some software on; so both this and AWS are equally viable options with minimal difference. And this deal does compare well for that use case.
