Cheap Machines For Lineage 2 And Good

One thing is sure, cheap will never be good.

 

The cheapest you find, the most used the hardware is, and the highest is the chance for a failure happens causing you downtime.

 

Example, OVH sells a very high end server in terms of 'settings' for a cheap price, compared to other datacenters, such as Leaseweb or Softlayer for example.

 

You will say the last 2 are way more expensive compared to OVH, but the difference is :

 

1) They provide you new hardware (12~18 months used max, this apply to HDD), while OVH provides you (36-48 month used servers, this also includes the HDD [it means it is near to its death, and can fail any time).

2) They provide you quicker response times, usually within 20 minutes, up to 1~2 hours to have your problem solved, while OVH takes around 2~3 hours to reply and sometimes almost a day or two, to fully solve the issue.

3) They have premium bandwidth, it means their traffic has first priority on the backbones of the internet, OVH has a budget connectivity, it means their traffic is always in 2nd place (Hence why unmetered offers and so on).

4) They have a very stable network, while as you can see here : (http://status.ovh.co.uk), OVH does have many problems within their network daily.

 

So well, numbers are numbers, and in this example we have used OVH as 'cheap' option, but cheap is not good and will not be good.

 

Before people ask, I've checked my servers in OVH and I can confirm these numbers.

 

If you don't believe it, check IPMI and SMART of your disks ;).

Zemaitis, your opinion is your opinion, my opinion is my opinion.

 

I don't really care, if you think OVH is the god of the datacenters, this is not the reality here, you are unexperienced with it.

 

I have been using OVH in the last 4 years, so I can assure you I am 100% correct in what I've write about it.
