kimsufi and online.net are both in france, but not same company. just lots of big datacenters in france, germany, and NL. digicube.fr is really cheap as well. a place called oneprovider is online.net's reseller, they have some decent deals on there also (paris location)
i prefer hetzner to kimsufi/ovh/online.net, though. in general, you'll be able to find the better servers on hetzner for cheaper than they are listed on ovh or online.net, as long as you use the robot auctions (no setup fees)
re: this online.net 1.99 euro dedicated server, is actually on a slightly faster CPU than the kimsufi 4.99, but they still both are horrible. it has 160GB of space vs 500GB. it's on a '1gbps port', but, well, I'm sure a lot of people will be sharing it.
for 2 euro though, i'll give it a try. the first month was actually pro-rated to like .60 euro, but, er, i haven't read their ToS yet in regard to cancellation policy... so dunno if i'll have to pay at least .60 + 2 or just .60.
I'll read the site thoroughly, and make sure there is no catch. I have now a high end dedicated server that I want to get rid of as it cost over €70 per month.
What I look for is a dedicated server with a non-shared connection with atleast 1gb/s network speed and unmetered data.
Well, a dedicated 1gb/s line would cost a fortune. I've always been able to get up to 100MB/s on my Hetzner when needed, but I think I must be lucky on who I'm sharing my port with.... though I've had 3 diff servers from them & never had a problem with at least 40MB/s. Oneprovider resells some online.net stuff, and I always got at least 30MB/s with those. Probably the same with online.net.
My server got setup in 9 1/2 minutes, but I'm still installing Ubuntu on it... from what other people have posted:
