      Yup, and great service. Just today I investigated a problem, found that something was wrong with the disks, pinpoited it to the SATA controller and put in an incident ticket. 15mins later they had replaced the controller with a new one and all was well.
      Replacing hardware with such a rapid response time is great!

        Btw for the US market, the servers are actually in SE Canada, but with great US connection.

        They will be opening up a US DC this year.

          Those are some pretty awesome prices, I would look at saving at least 800 USD/mo. by moving a couple of servers there.

          What's the catch lol?
          But.... I pulled out...

                            Just take a good a look at the range of servers they offer and what comes with those servers. I don't know of any cheap hosting provider that offer the quality bandwidth and server specs as OVH do, which is why they are growing at a phenominal pace.

                                I heard they like to "hard sell" on message boards. No idea if it's true or not though.

                                      Couple of years ago they limited my 100 mbps servers to 5 mbps.

                                      On the phone they told me too much of my traffic was international traffic yeah well this is the web.... wasn't chinese or indian traffic either mostly US and S-American.

                                      I heard they don't do that anymore, still it was a shitty thing to do.

                                        You were hosting in europe for mostly continental American traffic ?

                                        In any case, now their bw is clear. Premium is premium. Their el cheapo kimsufi range isnt premium but great for voip/vpn/backup etc type things

                                          I got a server from OVH and it has been great. I got it just to play around with vps hosting and messed it up many times. It has a control panel where you can wipe it and reload your OS like a vps. I had some days where I wiped it 3 times. Try that with another hosting company and see if they will reinstall the OS 3 times in a day for you. It is completely unmanaged. If you don't know how to admin a server this isn't the place for you.

                                              If I'm not mistaken, taking a server at their canada location using the link

                                              Unlike their other sites which are geographically locked to that country.

                                                Unlike their other sites which are geographically locked to that country.
                                                Yup. I grabbed one of those and am not in Canada.

                                                  What's the catch lol?
                                                  just did that 2 months ago and reduced the monthly costs drasticaly. The only inconvinient was i had to start learning basic linux.
                                                  PS: Not using OVH (not yet) i`ve chosed http://www.webtropia.de/ - the prices are close to ovh.
