Keep Kimsufi, or make your own?
You could make this
What Kimsufi does at its core is plain work, and that is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well.
You would give up one thing, listed below, and little else. It costs $133.20 a year. An AI app builder starts at about $20 a month on our listings, and you only need it while you build.
What you could make
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, cPanel, Plesk and Proxmox among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Kimsufi’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Kimsufi?
Kimsufi is OVHcloud's low-cost brand for rented dedicated servers. Customers choose a physical machine from the KS, SYS or Rise ranges, pick a data center and operating system, and get root access with anti-DDoS protection included. It is a bare-metal rental service, not shared web hosting.
Worth knowing
- You manage the server yourself, over SSH or a panel such as cPanel or Plesk; this is not managed web hosting.
- Prices are shown ex. VAT and as a starting point per range; each model's price depends on its configuration.
- Windows Server licences and control panels are extras added at checkout.
- The catalog loads with JavaScript, and stock and models change, so the entry price shown may not match what is orderable.
Key features
- Dedicated hardware with root access
- Each server is a physical machine whose CPU and RAM are not shared, with root access and the option to install your own image.
- Choice of operating system
- Linux options include Debian, Ubuntu and AlmaLinux, Windows Server licences are offered at checkout, and cPanel can be pre-installed.
- Anti-DDoS included
- The vendor says standard anti-DDoS protection comes with all its accessible plans at no extra cost.
- Unlimited traffic
- Most servers have 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps network speeds, and the vendor says unlimited traffic is included.
- Eight locations
