Updated the OVH price drop

by admin — last modified Jun 10, 2010 09:13 PM

I have done two things, and thanks to those of you who persistently emailed me to fix them! Firstly I have fixed the broken AJAX currency converter which spontaneously stopped working - this is because the hardcoded Google server from which the script was pulling the exchange rates suddenly vanished, so I simply updated the IP.

Secondly I have updated the substantial price reduction which OVH have applied to their bottom model Kimsufi where they dropped from €25/month to €15/month. This is very good value for money, so much so that you have to wonder what all their fuss was last year when they raised that product's price from €20 to €25 citing permanently rising costs. However it raises to a yawning gap between that single core Celeron for €15 and the next model up, a quad core Intel Core 2 for €40/month. As I've said for the umpteenth time now, there really needs to be a dual core in there at about €25/month.

Since the last update, low end dedicated servers have just got better and better. I have two very low priced Atom servers in Europe coming shortly to the database which make sense of why OVH had to so dramatically drop their price - and yes, you can get a central European located Intel Atom 220 for €20/month and an Intel Atom 330 for just €25/month! But I'll leave the full reviews till when I get round to them which should be in the next few days.
