Re: OVH to drop setup fees
this sounds like really good news,for a single user server, I'd now prefer ovh SuperPlan Mini over severlu's DS2000 unless lu scrap its setup fee too.
guess this also means some resellers can lower prices on ovh servers.

Re: OVH to drop setup fees
Guess after over a year of dominating the seedbox market and trying to paint users in a corner, they are now doing everything they can to win them back thanks to server.lu coming in. I would love to ditch my SP Storage, it's the only remaining memory of OVH I have.
Re: OVH to drop setup fees
I don't think server.lu has anything to do with that. We have never been anxious to get OVH customers and we have never done any agressive marketing.
I still see no reason for server.lu to drop setup fees though because OVH does not dictate server.lu prices.
Re: OVH to drop setup fees
imho, OVH is for people who want a server for cheap, .lu is for people who want quality.
Just because .lu doesn't care about what OVH does, doesn't mean that feeling is mutual. They could be trying to attract customers, even though I think that they feel that they are dominant with however many thousands of servers they have. :whistling
The results will be interesting to see, because I think dwdm has said all along that people will leave if they find a service that is 1 euro cheaper. If people jump ship back to OVH, I'd expect an "I told you so!".
Re: OVH to drop setup fees
I expect people to jump ship, but this has already been forecasted in our current business model.
Those people that jump back and forth all the time are not worth the trouble, because that's the bunch of people that use every single drop of bandwidth they can get. It may sound harsh, but it's sad truth.
If one tiny setup fee is holding off a customer, that's a sign. A customer who is willing to pay a very little setup is more likely to stay longer than not paying any "entry fee" at all.
Nevertheless we still provide 100 MBIT/s per server and we don't have a per customer model like OVH does. So our resellers are better off than OVH's.
Sidenote: any want-to-be customer who is contacting us and trying to make his point by telling us "but with OVH you get this and that" should not expect a reply. We simply do not want to do business on such a level of discussion.
