I had a request to cancel the remaining…
I had a request to cancel the remaining commitment on a long-term server contract. Joanna from the Claim Dept. handled my case. Even though the contract terms normally don’t allow early cancellation, she took the time to review it and approved my request as a one-time exception.
She also disabled the auto-renewal to avoid future charges, which I appreciate. The communication was clear, professional, and solution-focused.
Thanks to the support team for the flexibility and quick resolution.

Hello Tom,
Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback on Trustpilot, and we are sorry to read this feedback.
We are continually improving our billing system to deliver a great user experience.
When you cancel an order with our services, you may see a “bank pre-authorization” (reservation of the amount by the bank) on your payment card. This will expire within a period of “9 to 14 days” and on PayPal within a period of “21 to 29 days” from the date your order was placed.
Unfortunately, we are sorry, we cannot act on these banking delays.
Please check with your bank if you would like to shorten this period by sending an order with the word “canceled” to your OVHcloud customer account.
In addition, after analyzing the CS11375855 support ticket, we note that the order was canceled because the account information was incomplete.
Following the update of this information on 27/07/2025, we have asked you to renew your order so that the identity verification is finalized with our security service in charge of order validation, and that it is delivered.
Thank you for your understanding, and we remain at your disposal.
All the OVHcloud support team wishes you an excellent day.

Top notch bare metal server provider
I was a bare metal server customer with a different company for over 15 years before I decided to move to OVHCloud due to a critical hardware failure on one of the servers at the other provider. Moving to OVHCloud has been the difference of night and day! Top notch hardware, outstanding self-service tools, and fast network access. Though some improvements can be made on the turn around time for support tickets - and keeping a better watch on their customers (ab)use of assigned IP ranges - I feel comfortable to say that this company checks off every box on my list for a solid bare metal server provider. My only regret so far is that I didn't make the move sooner!

Effortless and Friendly Support Done Right
I want to give a huge shout-out to the OVH support team for the exceptional service on my ticket, CS11339776. My interactions with both Karima A. and Laurent C. were phenomenal and a perfect example of customer support at its best.
They were incredibly personable and made the entire process feel completely straightforward. Instead of a complicated or robotic exchange, their communication was clear, empathetic, and refreshingly human. They understood my request to delete a server and credit the unused time immediately, offering the perfect solution without any friction or unnecessary back-and-forth.
The entire issue was handled with impressive speed and a genuine focus on helping me. This is the kind of support that builds real customer loyalty. Thank you, Karima and Laurent, for making this such a positive and hassle-free experience

The Good, The Bad & the Great
Ive been a loyal customer to OVH for over 8 years, they have the best prices for dedicated servers in the world, the servers are fast, there is little to no downtime and all servers include free DDoS protection.
But there is a negative, if you have just the basic support plan, support takes days to reply. In addition i recently had something really annoying happen with a SoYouStart server. I cancelled the server, but their system still charged my credit card. It took weeks of talking on the phone/making support tickets explaining how it was on their end. Thankfully they refunded me the money that was charged.
The process for cancelling servers on SoYouStart is unnecessarily complicated (done through an API that submits commands to their back end).
Regardless, with the one problem i had over the course of all those years i'm still a customer - it doesnt change how amazing of a host they are!
P.S. OVHCloud owns SoYouStart.

OVH is still a solid and affordable hosting option
I have been an OVH customer for many years through 2 different business accounts. Their service always offers really good products for the price. The only thing I miss from the previous years is the lack of official support for VMWare ESXi on their dedicated server although it works if manually installed through KVM/IPMI, with some quirks for their /32 public IPv4 address and out of subnet host route gateway. Unfortunately the day after we migrated some critical services from another cloud provider to a new OVH dedicated server, a datacenter incident took down our server for over 8 hours, interrupting our business operations. However the 99.95% uptime SLA policy was honored on the CS11269441 support ticket. After this I hope for a solid service for the upcoming years and also hope they bring back support for ESXi on the unmanaged servers, at least offering the required guidance and tools to make it work with their unusual public IPv4 address scheme. Finally I hope they further expand with a datacenter in South America, a service provider like OVH is really needed in this region.

Poor Technical Support, Excellent Customer Service
I have been with OVH for several years and never had an issue until now. A production server that i had for several years failed for no apparent reason and their technical support did nothing to help, I had to move all backups to a new environment and had to deal with over 40 clients complaints.
Customer service was much better and released me from the commitment early and processed a refund for the month (ticket CS11210598). I have another server with them which i will likely keep with them, customer service is excellent but support is extremely poor..

Refund for a service which was automatically renewed
Two days ago (Jan 2) I was automatically charged $92.28 USD for services I don't use anymore. I requested a refund since I have not made use of the services but the representative said unfortunately it is too late. The representative said that I have a 24 hour period to make this anticipation. Nowhere have I seen this and it is quite frankly ridiculous.
I have requested refund for this amount as with any other service if you requested in a timely manner you get a refund.

OVH CANCELING THE ORDERS
At first, everything was fine. I purchased a dedicated server and it was set up in about an hour with no issues at all. Later on, I started ordering IP addresses every few days. Eventually, when I tried to place another IP order, it said "additional verification required" and that it could take up to 48 hours. About a day later, the order was canceled. That's when the problems began.
When I contacted live support, they told me I needed to update my account information — basically giving me generic responses. Anyway, I updated everything and tried ordering again, but the same thing kept happening. I submitted tickets, and a support agent named Gabriel N. told me to place the order again and that it would be manually approved this time. I did that, but once again, it was canceled after 2 days. Just ridiculous.
Since they started responding extremely slowly, I went to the Public Cloud section and activated a project. I placed around 100 small orders, and only then did they finally notice. Clearly, they only pay attention when it suits them.
Then the system created a ticket saying I needed to upload documents. I had already told live support I was happy to complete a KYC verification if needed. The ticket said to upload documents via the "My Documents" section — which doesn't even exist in the customer panel. Total joke.
I contacted live support again and they told me to send the documents in the ticket. So I did — front and back of my ID. Then they asked for proof of address, which I downloaded as a PDF from an official government website and sent it. I've been waiting for days now.
This is honestly the most frustrating and ridiculous process I've seen. I'm an active customer, and you're doing a fraud check? For what? If this were my first order and I was using a VPN or something, I’d understand. But I’ve already been using your services.
My service is close to expiry — what if I can’t renew it in time because of this mess? Will it be canceled too?
Do NOT order from here. They don’t even know how their own system works.

OVHcloud strives to provide the best possible service and support to provide solutions.
As a security measure, some orders require verification by our anti-fraud team. This may explain why orders are canceled.
This may be due to the account's payment method history or the information entered in the profile, which we sometimes seek to verify to ensure the identity of the person or company placing the order.
In order to prioritize the processing of ticket CS11091377, I have just escalated it to the billing team. One of my colleagues will review the escalation and get back to you as soon as possible.

OVH is not a reliable server provider.
Edited after OVH reply (20th May 2025):
If you have seen the ticket carefully, then you might have seen screen shots of the email that I received from your abuse team.
And if you have carefully seen the ticket, then I repeatedly asked that "Please point out where is the technical detail in the email"
My only question that stayed for long is that where is the technical detail?"
If you have seen the ticket then you might have noticed that your team says they don't have access to abuse team.
You take down a production server, and you say that you don't have access to abuse team. Is this not a shame on OVH?
**** How was it fixed? *****
After days of research on internet I figured out that you don't have your own abuse detection system. You use Netcraft. I directly contacted Netcarft and they gave me issue number 68604359. After providing screenshots they agreed that they flagged the portal in error. You can see the issue if your fake abuse team has any access to them.
Once Netcarft clear the flag, the next day I received an email from your fake abuse department that your ticket has been closed. Other than this they never replied to any email, even after updating my email address, as suggested by your so called support.
--------- Original Review ------
We’ve been an OVH Cloud customer for over 11 years. Our leased server supports our tracking and communication software and serves around 3,000 GPS devices in a live production environment. On April 1, 2025, we received an email from abuse team claiming a phishing website was hosted on our server. As an immediate action I stopped the website. Still, on the third day OVH hijacked our production server.
** What was the business impact? **
1. This server listens to approx. 3000 GPS tracking devices installed on commercial trucks and trailers. All of our clients lost connection with their vehicles.
2. Server hosts a communication system where dispatchers send live instructions to drivers on road. All clients lost connection with their drivers, and this caused missed deliveries causing financial loss to our customers.
3. Several other automations stopped.
All of a sudden we had to migrate to a different server that we kept spare for urgencies.
To understand the issue I created a support ticket and also called them to understand what was wrong. Support team told me to reply to the same email that was received from abuse team and assured that they will tell you. I replied to that email multiple times. But never got any reply from abuse team.
I kept asking OVH support via tickets. But support kept saying that they don't have access to abuse team. Now we are in a business critical situation:
1. The domain they mentioned in the abuse email has nothing objectionable. It is a staging environment for testing our live application.
2. Because this domain was flagged by OVH, we have exact same web app running in production which we are keeping down because we are afraid of same wrong action on other server.
** What are we looking for?
we appreciate that OVH does not allow phishing website. But the website they flagged is a normal web application used by our customers. Only those users can use them who were signed up by their employers.
--We need to understand what was exactly on website that abuse system flagged the domain and hijacked our server even after the website was immediately taken offline.
--We need detail, so that we could take care of objectionable things on several other applications running on different ovh servers.
OVH team permanently closes tickets after stating that abuse team has provided sufficient detail. But abuse team just stated a domain name and nothing else in the email. To keep the conversation on, I create new tickets.
I am keeping tickets open but they send a ready-made reply that they dont have access to abuse and ask to contact abuse team, but abuse team never replies.
So for us OVH servers are no more reliable provider because they hijacked our business all of a sudden without any reason. They even do not explain what was the reason of hijacking a server.
I am attaching all tickets and conversations and abuse email that, according to them, contains all so-called technical details.
We request OVH to tell us what was phishing in the website.

Since the security of the dedicated server is your responsibility, we can only encourage and advise you to fully check the server.

Absurd bureaucracy, wasted time and money
I placed an order for a domain and VPS at OVH. I accidentally used their Canadian portal, and the order was cancelled due to a "region mismatch." Support told me to create a new account on the UK OVH site.
I did exactly that — and again, the VPS order was cancelled, but this time the domain was accepted and charged, even though I can’t use it without a server.
They refused to cancel or refund the domain, hiding behind "registry rules." I also can’t remove my payment method because there is now an "active service" (the domain I didn’t want). Total nonsense.
This whole experience is ridiculous:
You buy a service you can't use, you’re charged for it, can't cancel it, can't remove your payment details, and can't close your account unless you file a GDPR request.
I’ve submitted a complaint to Nominet and will be requesting full data deletion under GDPR.
OVH is a perfect example of how not to treat customers. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone — unless you enjoy bureaucracy, contradictions
