Unmetered traffic means you do not have to worry about receiving surprise traffic bills.
This is what you get:
Unmetered data transfer, in- and out-bound
Unmetered data transfer within our network
Improved external and internal connectivity
Genuine 100MBit speed
No Extra Bills
Our bandwidth policy was developed to ensure that every customer gets his fair share of the total bandwidth available. Consequently, we take into account that no customer could cause slow connectivity for others.
This is why bandwidth intensive applications such as: Sex sites
Streaming
Large FTP sites
Proxy servers including TOR
P2P
IRC servers
BitTorrent
and similar are not necessarily covered by our unmetered services and that misuse could incur a connectivity restriction after prior notification.
However, if you need to run applications with high bandwidth utilisation, please contact us at [email protected], and we can arrange a separate redundant dedicated line for you.
they r ok with p2p dude.. why spend more when u can do with current prices..
I see they offer no windows servers?

so, if only one person using the server, then 2ip is pretty much useless right? that person can stay in one ip in the whole time,right?Quote:

Aneszverotic - can you provide us with an update from these guys? How much data have you pumped through now? and are you still uncapped?
Here is a little update..
According to their bandwidth manager, I use just over 200GB per day.. nad 95% of the usage is seeding to a single tracker... let's just say that I could use it more if I want to.
and of course, I AM NOT CAPPED in any way, so stfu dance4.
wondering what kind of UL speed are you getting?Quote:

so far going great =)
I'm interested in one of these boxes, maybe. Disk space is sort of small though.
Anyone ever bursted to over 100mbit speed?
There is a detailed review over at the ScT forums man .. Lot of them have bought this box there .. I suggest u look there .. there is even group buy kind of thing happening there to reduce the setup fees .. Though recently as its becoming popular the speeds have been going down .. read the entire threadQuote:

just read the 8 pages posts of sct, seems it's going downhill, avearge 2mb is just like kimsufi non-sla but much more to pay, no need to mention the set up fee.
I've been following this thread for a while and decided to register to be able to answer.
I am an employee of server.lu (root eSolutions actually) and I know what is going on behind the scenes.
I would not compare our product with those offered from OVH, since we have a different approach. We do not limit our customers in doing what they do, but there are a few things one should consider:
- No serious ISP is inviting P2P / seedbox users into their network
- Our FAQ says that P2P is tolerated but not really welcome either
- Instead of kicking users by limiting their inferface speed we are working with QoS, giving all P2P applications much lower priority than critical applications like video streaming or VoIP
That being said, I really do not understand what you are all whining about. Paying 49 EUR and expecting endless speeds to most likely share stuff that probably isn't always legal just doesn't seem right to me.
I understand why Oles from OVH has released new SLAs. If everybody keeps scratching on the 100 MBIT roof, then there is something wrong in the maths and prices need to be adjusted. This is not where we intend to go at any time, but seeing people complain about speeds they don't want to pay is somewhat selfish. Even ISPs need to pay for their bandwidth, and trust me - it is a lot.
We noticed our bandwidth double within only 6 weeks. That is why we are increasing backbone capacity on December 3rd (additional 10GBit Link to London), making us the largest backbone in Luxembourg with very good peerings to the US, UK, DE, NL and FR.
If you have any questions about our services, please feel free to ask me or our support email, but if your intentions are purley focussed on discounts on a single server, then I can already predict the answer... :)
^ Yup thts wat i was trying to say but tried not to spill the beans as its from ScT :fear:
i will not be giving them my business; p2p or otherwise.
@dwdm,
appreciate your honesty, but the reality is comsumers are very likely to choose wherever to spend their cash simply based on the price and service they expect. the more money they pay the better quality they expect. this is a very competitive business with lots of unexpected new developments involved. as soon as there is a better deal emerged, other ppl will know.
just like the sudden change of policy from rapidshare, so many ppl left them for its competitors simply because they couldnt get what they wanted. I would say dont blame the players, blame the game.the private-tracker situation determines that the proportion of p2p/torrent users in this business will only be getting bigger and bigger so their will be more demands. whoever can cope with strong demands under the pressure of credit crunch will make more profit. ovh's change has reshuffled the cards, so let the new game begin.
I personally still on the old ovh contracts and I have to say for the same money and set up fee many others like me will go with whoever can guarantee the speed I need.glad I still have time to find my next provider.
p.s. does this 'additional 10GBit Link to London' mean many new users will be getting UK IPs ? not a good idea if so cos p2p are getting really dodgy in the uk. Many user in the uk wouldnt want to have UK IPs as matter of fact.
The 10GB upgrade to London has nothing to do with UK IP addresses. This is only a peering/transit upgrade from LUXEMBOURG to LONDON. This is BGP4 level, but all our servers remain in Luxembourg, 2 floors below our offices.
As I mentioned before, we have no kick-out policy for P2P customers and we will always do our best to improve speeds as needed. Customers who have been with us for 1-2 years know that we upgrade our backbone capacities almost every 4-8 weeks and that we never cap any customers who are consuming a lot of bandwidth.
I am not asking you guys to trust us, but based on the fact that for instance we advertise for DS2000 with 160GB, but we already unofficially provide bigger CPU and 320GB disks, should show that we are very generous people - as long as the customer is also showing some respect towards us. The reason why we do not advertise for these bigger disks yet is that we still have some preconfigured servers with the smaller disks but we try to release the new ones for all our new customers.
Anyway... If you guys noticed speed limitations, then it is just temporary and you should expect a new boost 2 days from now. Even now all our outbound links are not really saturated, but given the recent events we made the choice to do some upgrades in order to prevent real saturation combined with packet loss.
If you dropped the setup fee id like to test one of your servers for a month.Quote:

dwdm- Good to hear the speed restriction will be removed in 2 days.
When will server.lu offer a Windows 2003 Server option? I saw it mentioned that it was available for 100Euro setup and 15 Euro a month.
This is a) not mentioned on your site as an option and b) Any chance the setup fee will be removed as most other providers do not charge a setup fee for windows, only a monthly fee.
dwdm - thanks for giving us an update, lol you don't see that too often these days. Can't say ive ever seen someone from OVH or Hosting-IE in here.
waiving or reducing set up fee will definitely bring in more customers for sure,
as for the windows systems,
as far as I know, they dont come cheap and there's a llicence fee involved.just like many cheap laptop comes with linux instead of windows nowadays. even ovh/kimsufi charges a fee for having windows systems while no charges for linux. linux always works better than windows on seedbox anyway,
So what's the speeds like compared to say.. OVH's Premium SLA servers or Hosting-IE ?
so If I order DS2000 right now, I'll be getting bigger HD and CPU. am I correct? because I'll be ordering in 2 or 3 day... please let me know. thanksQuote:

What do you do when somebody uses a lot of bandwidth? What could this "a lot" mean? You might have changed your policy but a few months ago you capped servers to 5-10 Mbit (I can't remember exactly) and it certainly was about using excessive amounts of bandwidth. Then you seemed to pretend you didn't know what was going on.. Me and my friends were treated in this way after using 3-6 TB.Quote:

I just ordered DS2000. I can't wait... do you guys know what is their setup time?

I am not here to discuss discounts, but if you read my first post carefully you should already know the answer to that question.Quote:

We do not give discounts to new customers. We have no welcome gift option and from the past we learnt that these ask-for-discount customers are often those who leave you after two months because they found a competitor who is 1.99 EUR cheaper, or something like that.
I am not saying that we don't do discounts. But only after knowing the customer for a while, when he has a history in our accounting database.
So please do not abuse this thread to ask for special prices. I am here to answer technical questions and to give you an idea how we work.
what is the setup fee for a ds2000 on linux?
