The long term fix boils down to increasing prices, adding setup fees, or adjusting pricing of older equipment. Either way pricing needs to be adjusted (pricing failure or lack of pricing foresight). There's no way to successfully enforce retaliatory measures against those who cancel / re-order every few months. Because you can always use a different CC / account / payment method.
So I really think this hiatus was put in place so OVH can accumulate enough revenues over the next few months to be able to purchase new servers. They're just not able to get in the black or even amortize older equipment.
- cpncrunch 13y agoReducing prices on used servers seems to be the best solution. That is what iweb does (they have a 'clearance' section with cheap, slightly older servers) and it allows them to clear out their old stock. Generally you don't need the newest hardware unless you have huge amounts of traffic.
