*📜 Plan description
AMD EPYC 9254 brings Zen 4 efficiency and 24c/48t for mixed web/database use, CI workers and mid-size virtualization. Memory scales from 128 GB to 1 TB DDR5 ECC, and base storage is 2 x 1.92 TB NVMe that can be expanded or RAIDed for resilience and IOPS. Public links are guaranteed (non-metered) and private vRack is 50 Gbps for low-latency east-west traffic. Add IPv4 failover blocks or BYO IPs as your network map evolves; IPv6 range included as standard. Anti-DDoS protection mitigates volumetric attacks at the provider edge.
Scale emphasizes predictable performance and resilient networking (four 25-Gbps ports, 99.99% SLA). With automated provisioning and API access, it suits teams consolidating many dynamic websites, headless CMS clusters and application middleware on one host while keeping room to grow.

📄 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.
