OVHcloud, comparedEnormous, well-built, and answerable in France.

OVH built its own network and its own data centres and includes real DDoS mitigation as standard, which very few hosts of that size do. The comparison is not about capability.

What we publish that most do not

  • Every price, including bare metal, GPU by the second and colocation.
  • A signed warrant canary, a quarterly transparency report and the inventory of records that exist.
  • Mitigation on before an attack starts, and an SLA that credits itself from the incident record.

Where the difference actually is

OVH will ask who you are, will take a card, and will answer a complaint through a process designed to protect OVH. That is the right way to run a company of that size and it is the whole of what people are escaping when they search for this.

This estate asks for an address and a password, takes eight crypto assets and nothing else, and publishes the complete list of records that exist so you can see in advance what a valid order would produce.

Mitigation: the one row where we agree

OVH includes anti-DDoS as standard and it works. So does this estate, at every edge, with no per-attack fee. There is no difference worth manufacturing here and the table says so.

France, and how many courts

France is outside American copyright law and inside a European regime with an active practice of addressing hosting providers. One company holds the estate, so one ruling reaches it. Eight companies is the structural answer to that, and it is the thing that is expensive to copy.

Questions people actually ask

Is OVH DMCA-ignored?

A French company is not bound by 17 U.S.C. §512, so an American notice is correspondence. What follows a French or European complaint is a different question, and the honest answer is that a company that size resolves them rather than litigates them.

Do you have their scale?

No. Eight regions, published with their carriers and their uptime record. If you need thirty regions and managed Kubernetes, buy theirs.

Buy theirs instead if

  • You need scale, managed services or certifications that a small estate cannot offer.
  • Being an identified customer with a contract is required on your side.
  • Their bare-metal range and pricing fit the workload precisely.

That list is here because a comparison that cannot name a reason to buy the other one is an advertisement. If any of those three is you, they are the better buy and this page has done its job.
