*📜 Plan description

Hosted Exchange provides business email with Exchange features hosted in OVHcloud’s European datacentres. Pricing on the page starts from $4.49 per month per account. Mailboxes are 50 GB or 300 GB, with anti-virus/anti-spam included, Outlook Web Access (OWA) webmail, collaboration features (shared calendars and address books), multi-device client compatibility, and protocol support including IMAP/POP/SMTPS/MAPI/ActiveSync. AD Sync is included. Data hosting is stated as France, on shared infrastructure, and the solution targets SMEs needing scalable professional email with SLA-style availability.

The email solutions page positions Hosted Exchange as the market-standard business email, hosted in Europe with GDPR compliance. OVHcloud details services included: free OVHcloud Mail Migrator for easy migration, built-in anti-DDoS, regular infrastructure updates, European hosting in OVHcloud’s own datacentres with sovereignty, operations across three datacentres for redundancy, and daily backups (kept for 7 days). The page also references related offerings for different needs: Private Exchange (a dedicated virtual Exchange server with your own resources, dedicated IP and Private SSL), and Dedicated Exchange for very large organizations (more than 1,000–2,000 accounts) needing isolation and security.

📄 Editorial Review

OVHCloud is a large, vertically integrated provider founded in 1999 that serves ~1.5M customers with a very broad catalog spanning Shared Hosting, VPS, Dedicated Servers, Public/Hosted Private Cloud, domains, email, and SSL. They operate on an in-house global backbone (quoted ~20 Tbit/s capacity) and run infrastructure across dozens of locations on four continents. The overall value proposition blends scale, price/performance, and control: anti-DDoS is standard, bandwidth is generous (often unmetered in EU/US/CA), and many products include backups and automation while keeping costs predictable.
Product lineup at a glance

  • Shared Web Hosting – PHP hosting with anti-DDoS, daily backups, databases, 1-click CMS installers, and a free domain for the first year on many plans. They advertise 99.99% availability on the platform (no formal SLA on shared).
  • VPS – NVMe-backed instances with daily automatic backups, 1-click scaling, integrated KVM console, IPv4/IPv6, optional managed databases, 99.9% SLA, and optional cPanel/Plesk images.
  • Dedicated Servers (Bare Metal Cloud) – multiple ranges:
    • Rise (best price/performance; 1 Gbps guaranteed public bandwidth in EU/US/CA; 500 GB backup space).
    • Advance (versatile AMD EPYC, 3 Gbps guaranteed public + 25 Gbps private, 99.95% SLA, rich storage/backup options, Network Security Dashboard, Carbon Calculator).
    • Storage (SAS/NVMe, hot-swap, HA-NAS and file-storage add-ons).
    • Game (high-freq AMD EPYC, Game DDoS protection, NVMe/DDR5).
    • Scale (up to 256 cores, 4×25 Gbps NICs, 50 Gbps vRack).
    • High Grade (Xeon Gold/EPYC 9004, dual PSUs, hot-swap SSDs, 99.99% SLA, up to 100–200 Gbps internal with OLA).
    • Wholesale/white-label rack options and the budget Kimsufi line for low-resource projects.
  • Public Cloud – OpenStack/Kubernetes-based compute, storage, networks, managed databases, analytics, AI/ML, and a growing Local Zones footprint; API calls and egress are included in many price points to keep costs predictable.
  • Hosted Private Cloud – VMware SDDC in dedicated environments (Essential/Premier).
  • Email/Exchange, CDN (Basic/Security/Advanced), and SSL (Sectigo DV/EV) round out the web stack.

Security and compliance are a core theme (built-in anti-DDoS; certifications; SecNumCloud for sensitive EU workloads). The manufacturing/supply chain is unusually integrated (servers built in France/Canada, custom water-cooling, component reuse), supporting both sustainability and cost control.
