Low budget dedicated server in Europe.

Already almost a week I am trying to catch a dedicated server for 5 euros, which is a subsidiary of the largest international hosting provider OVH.
Servachok pretty weak, but in any case it is cheaper and more powerful than most of the VPS, even for 10 euros.

Well, actually all the days of dull page and updated periodically found himself at the time that the server was about 10 minutes ago, incl expect revenues.

I this case a little tired and I screwed myself Chekalka update pages for Mozilla Firefox - Check4Change, and that put up for renewal in 30 seconds. Plugin convenient- just highlight text on a page that should be checked, put range of updates and plug on the page reloads itself and checks the text in the selected area. If the change happens, a notification pops up on systems Trey, triggered a beep and a title tab is red.

And it turned out that that Kimsufi something back, because after waiting for a half day, found himself on the plate rate server was 15 minutes ago appears immediately after waiting for admission. That is, the server itself does not appear in the circulation, but simply switches to the status was. And often not once, but after 10 hours for example yesterday I was in a network up to 4 hours, will not departing, and all this time the status of the server was waiting for admission, and this morning he switched to the option last server was yesterday at 2240.

That is, a server goes right by API, or, more likely, it is such a tricky course, because of the monitoring, 2nd and 3rd rates appeared with the ability to order several times. Therefore, with sorrow, ordered a dedicated server for 10 euros, but then again there was a snag, because to confirm the account, as well as at OVH, you must send the right-passport and proof of payment of the apartment.

Sent documents Friday around 11 am, but a day later my account was never confirmed, despite the fact that the order expires 24 hours after application. Sent on the subject obscene letter, but given that they work tech support from Monday to Friday, you probably have to wait for an answer before the start of the working week.

UPD (0704) It turned out that a support Kimsufi not created to deal with some sort of rogue like me, so the answer to your question, I did not get. While waiting, some of the Alla Tech Support, managed another 2 servers, but with the same success, because my letters no one answered, and pay for a dedicated server without your account, I could not. As a result, today, remembering the server wrote to the head of Pope a support with a description of the situation - in the end the answer came within 15 minutes and confirmed the account overthrew a link to the invoice payment ordered by the first server, where I paid him. And after 10 minutes I had arrived on my dedicated server with 4Gb RAM 9 Euro.

Connect the disk image in the VMware vCloud Director

The strange story of these hosting - like systems is not much, but each administrator manages to add to its own system, in the best case your bike, and in the worst rake.

And the only people raising for some ideological reasons hosting on VMware, are stable: acquainted already with about five fingers virtual hosting, I found that each is considered that the installation of the system - it is the customer's problem, so much so that the installation images it should also start himself.

Actually connect the installation image to the VMware vCloud Director in several ways, but first you need to install additional plug-ins for Action VMware Client Support & VMware Remote Console, which siphoned off from the portal host at login. It is also necessary to have installed in the Java engine.

After this, log into the Portal VMware vCloud Director and choose which way to go: you can either download the image, or put him, or to connect to a virtual machine drive your drive and put it.
I have to say - I know the way to the second theory, because it is used one time in the wonderful hosting it turned out that I did not have enough space to download Minimal CentOS 370 Megs. And like the image even connected, but still did not work out, and when the system reboots swore he did not see the drive.
Actually go to the VMware vCloud Director -> My Cloud -> VMs click into the image of the virtual display and we opened the window with the virtual console VMRCConsole. It clicked in the CD / DVD icon in the window that opens, prescribes the full path to the disk image. Then we say OK and reboot the machine to drive the pick-up.

The main method that I use - is to download its image, which pass VMware vCloud Director -> Catalogs -> My Organization's Catalogs in the main window, click the button Upload. It may set up security so that before downloading, we have to create a folder in the directory and load the image into it.
Once the image is loaded, go VMware vCloud Director -> My Cloud -> VMs -> right click on the image of the virtual machine and talking Insert CD / DVD from Catalog, then select our image and also run the virtual console in which the holding unit system.
