alt Hacker NewsAs someone who's been around the block for affordable hosting providers, OVH was one of those that never really impressed. They never had any major downtime for me, but micro-outages, blips... things like that were common. Support was fine. In time I migrated off in search of better stability.
Overall my gold standard is still Hetzner or DO for easy-to-use, affordable VPS/hosting options.

One of my server was lost to a fire so...
That being said, only happen one and I had no data on it so I didn't mind.
I switched to Hetzner too.
I rent a dedicated server from OVH for various self hosted services and for the price I really can't complain. If there's been any outages they happened at times when I wasn't interacting with it so I didn't notice. I'm not entirely sure I'd trust a server that mattered to them but for what I'm doing they're fine.
I'm pro OVH granted I've not used Hetzner before and only used DO briefly. I too remember the burn but they gave credit. I like the emails saying "your service is under DDOS attack".
I'm using OVH for downloads from PortableApps.com as their un-metered VPS was one of the better and affordable options. Haven't noticed any issues (knock wood). Is there something else I should look at?
Isn't Hetzner strongly associated with OVH? I thought they were under the same umbrella.
Hetzner is the most unintuitive UI / service I've ever used.
