📄 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.

😠 Absolutely abysmal Support. Really so very very bad,

a) Their service purchasing process is buggy, unable to create the correct configuration and their web page menu, which shows the headings but not the actual items below is a joke.

b) We were charged automatically for a service that we did not order. After submitting a request for a credit, which took 4 days to respond to, it took another 2 days to "investigate" and then another 2 days to get our money back.

Then if that wasn't bad enough, we got another invoice and automatic charge to our account just a few days later, for the same screw up they just fixed, !!
So again we had to go through the same process of complaining and waiting - and more waiting.

c) We then had a server problem which was Urgent. No one was available locally, on a Friday, so we made contact with Singapore. While the chap we spoke with was pleasant and helpful, and he communicated with us consistently and "expedited" our service request - 4 days later it was still "unassigned" and still a problem. Absolutely appalling.

d) Their Billing system is a joke. Information "unavailable" is often seem on the screen, and there is little correlation between screen and information. Very amateurish.

If you are in Australia, you can forget and Sales pr Technical support, it just does not exist, even if you want to spend money you can't find anyone to talk to. It's ludicrous.

Bottom line - If you want a service that is on the cheaper side and willing to gamble, try OVH.

If you want any form of Sales support or Technical support, best to look elsewhere.
