That email was really bad, "New: Anti-DDOS Next Gen" is not a suitable subject line for what boils down to a 20% price bump in my case. They don't even state the new prices in the email, and the linked page (https://www.kimsufi.com/en/servers.xml https://www.kimsufi.com/en/servers.xml) has a different product listing than when I ordered my server, and lists the same model number with different prices because the model number doesn't appear to specify the model anymore, there are different versions with different amounts of disk space. OVH handled the whole thing really terribly.
- dx034 9y agoAnd not just for kimsufi, also for the main brand. To figure out the price difference you have to consult a PDF which splits prices differently than the main page. They stated in the email that new orders will see the new price but that's definitely not the case. The blog article talks about increases in the range of 1-10€ while in reality, increases in public cloud are much higher (20-30%). Selling that as a DDOS investment is questionable, I guess they just miscalculated prices.
- lorenzhs 9y agoWell at least they're consistent in communicating it badly! At least for the kimsufi line, you still get the old price if you renew in November. Guess who just renewed for another year ;)
