OVH hosting

“some grossly overworked, underqualified and underpaid person working in a call center type environment”

“a 50€ a month server at Hetzner, OVH or whatever is more than enough to host a website”

“AFAIK there have been ONE instance of a DC taking fire, and it wasn't built from containers.”

“I'm currently using OVH in Montreal for many years and never had any issues.”

“Hetzner and OVH are noticeably better, but still not quite at the level of the main cloud providers”

“pushing a local french actor like OVH, Clever or Scale, decison that seemed right all along”

“OVH is much more developed on the managed side, they even have managed k8s as a service.”

“OVH for example will gladly take your money first and then refuse to provide any service without ID verification”

“Scaleway and OVH are good alternatives if you want to host in Western Europe.”

“there are sometimes 10x cheaper options than AWS,GCP,Azure with things like Hetzner/OVH”

“Only gotcha with OVH is if you want to run mail, you want to avoid the local zone VMs that don't allow mail hosting.”

“they are cheaper than AWS and bound by the EU privacy law (GDPR)”

“OVH while a good company is definitly not providing US cloud-level data resiliency”

“They also kept double-billing me for 3 months without me realizing”

“openstack integration from them works good enough for most of my needs”

“deployed the whole thing over 2 server clusters behind a wonderful load balancer he fine tuned on OVH”

“It's so buggy I couldn't even have my account deleted, not even after contacting their customer support”

“OVH is quite competitively priced and has some newer hardware available”

“OVH and Hetzner have some potentially compelling plans, but then I'm only saving a little bit.”

“For the same money, I get 10x of RAM, storage and CPU with Hetzner or OVH.”

“as long as you make sure that no billing issue can arise from your side, you should be fine.”

“I've read several reports from customers saying that their customer service is really bad.”

“OVH is pretty great as well and is comparable to Hetzner in terms of pure price”

“the experience was shitty was forwarded between different versions of the page GB etc and could not finish the checkout”

“If you look at what $50 a month gets you at OVH or Hetzner then their post makes more sense.”

“The 2 providers above were much cheaper than our GCP stuff one the free credits ran out.”

“Only Scaleway or OVH seem to be timidly developing what I would consider "vanilla cloud".”

“their web UI looks and feels like it was pieced together by hamsters”

“OVH is awful. The UI is slow and buggy, operations often fail and you need slow contact with support.”

“The thing ran on a dozen of OVH servers, including multi-site redundancy.”

“It's cheap and works, and it's easy to switch to another registrar or provider if needed.”

“I lost a VPS in that fire, but I was up and running a few hours later”

“I have been a vocal supporter of European tech providers like hetzner,ovh etc.”

“using something like upcloud/ovh which provide unlimited egress/bandwidth (both European) is a good combo for peertube imo”

“there are cheaper managed cloud than aws etc. as well (upcloud,ovh etc.)”

“OVH is good company too, one of the cheapest overall in the markets.”

“if you are looking for something cheap, either go with ovh or upcloud”

“the reliability and throughput of both of them isn't as consistent as AWS and this has been a constant headache”

“used VMs, dedicated servers and other services from Hetzner and OVH extensively”

“OVH is possibly the largest and most successful provider in Europe.”
