Good quality and variety of service, good price, slow support. A good option for technical people who don't need any much support.

Hello Cristian,
Thank you for giving us your opinion via TrustPilot and we are sorry for the inconvenience encountered.
OVHcloud is constantly improving its support on the billing part but also on the technical part to assist customers.
I would like to point out that if a manual order verification must be carried out by OVHcloud, the payment is not taken.
It is a simple bank imprint that expires automatically (9 to 15 days for a payment by credit card and 21 to 29 days for a Paypal payment).
So that I can carry out checks, I invite you to respond to the request for information that I have just sent you.
You can respond by giving me the ID of your OVHcloud account (xx12345-ovh) or the contact email address.
If necessary, this page could help you find the OVHcloud account ID:
https://help.ovhcloud.com/csm/en-ie-account-log-in-ovhcloud-control-panel?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0043034
EDIT : Thank you for the OVHcloud account information.
I was able to check and I see that it is our anti-fraud department that canceled the orders.
I reassure you, the payment is not taken by OVHcloud and it is a simple bank imprint that remains active until it expires. This bank imprint will expire within 9 to 14 days for a payment by credit card.
Regards,
Maxime.R
Avoid This Company – No Service Provided and No Customer Support
I recently purchased 7 VPS servers from OVH, and it has been a frustrating experience from start to finish.
Despite paying in full, I never received the service I was promised. Some orders were fulfilled, then removed completely after I had set them up for my clients. Others, they simply were not delivered and the money was withheld and kept by OVH.
I've reached out multiple times via email and phone - each time they say they will get back to me and never hear back.
All recent messages have been completely ignored, despite even contacting key managers & execs within the company.
This lack of communication and failure to deliver the service is deeply unprofessional, and I feel that I’ve been misled. I've given them ample time to respond and rectify the situation, yet they've failed to do so.
I’m now in the process of reporting this issue to Action Fraud and their payment processor. I would advise others to think twice before trusting this company with your money. Save yourself the hassle and choose a company that respects its customers and fulfils its promises.

Hello Leeroy!
We are sorry to learn that your orders have been blocked or not delivered. Orders may be cancelled for various reasons such as non-compliance with our terms of use.
At OVHcloud when an order is canceled, we don't complete the transaction. The pre-authorization will automatically expire after a certain period, and it be cancelled from your statement. The reserved amount will be returned to your account balance. This process typically takes 9 to 14 days for credit card payments and up to 30 days for PayPal payments.
Our teams respond to all requests. I would like to request more information about accounts concerned and review in detail all cases.
You have received a request, please, answer this request with your company's OVHcloud ID(aa0000-ovh or 0000-0000-00), full name, e-mail, and phone number assigned to your ID, please.
Have a nice day,

Not recommended...
Needed a VPS urgently, as my other host went. As soon as i paid for the order, they put my account under review, and i had to wait 24-48hrs. I soon cancelled the order, and got a refund. I do not recommend this company.

SUPERB VALUE VPS: Provided you READ and grasp what you are getting for your spend. IGNORE the groaning groaners, who think they'll get the world for pennies.
I've been a professional design engineer working in electronics for well over 50 years - yes 50. And I've been in computing & IT just as long,
I've used various cloud and hosting companies down 30+ years: OVHCloud offer THE MOST STARTLINGLY GOOD VALUE SERVICE I HAVE EVER SEEN.
Quite Staggeringly, I have a research VPS which I'm using internationally, which costs me the ENORMOUS SUM of £2.16 - yes two pounds sixteen pence sterling.... each month. TOTAL.
AND it runs Debian smoothly with a virtual desktop and does all I want of it.
All of us who work in cloud, know there are reams of companies out there who can do this - but it's very easy to spend £10/20 a month for one VPS.
To be able to rent working servers - with 20GB disc space - for well under £3 -- is a MARVEL -- THANK YOU OVH, I am impressed and I recommend you widely.
There are other companies out there that offer marvellous service - but they all have their strengths and particular focusses, there are things they don't do and things they do very well. And there are a few who do nothing well (you know who you are 1and1).
So - find who's best for what, by experiment and by looking here. Now I'll break all the Trustpilot rules and give a quick separate shout out to
-- UK2.net, the BEST WEBHOST in Britain by a country mile, for your fine service down 25 years,
Back to OVH - their plan - unashamedly - is to offer superb pricing, for baseline services, delivered cleanly to people who can self-manage largely. If you need reams of help & support, maybe go to Digital Ocean, but be prepared to pay 4X - 5X as much.
Many "grumblers" who write the "1 star" reviews here seem to be non-professionals, who don't grasp what's what (eg a tearful "....but they didn't back up all my data for free..." - when OVH never said they would, you can purchase backup options - pretty plain to my eye ).
I shall continue to use you OVH -- very best wishes from the UK.

Good service, but experience broken billing system
So i love ovhcloud, for their good pricing, the downside was that on the day of writing, I encountered a lot of issues with my 3 services. I cancelled one which is fine. I then paid (3 days ago) on the July 3, 2024 for 2 of my 3 vps. Lets go vps 1/2/3. on July 3, i paid for vps 2 and 3. then today i paid for vps 1. But for some reason the billing dashboard charged me for vps 1 + 2. So i paid duplicate for vps 2. Then i paid for my vps 3, money went out of my account, but it is still "not paid" even though the invoice said paid and in my bank statement the money has gone out.
EDIT: Forgot this was here, but the billing is already paid for on their system, but visually for me it is still buggy. Nothing else to talk about but yeah, hopefully the system for billing is more refined so it will become less hard to use and understand.

Bad service compared to other providers
Very poor DDoss protection, the dashboard loads very slow and sometimes takes several seconds to load a single page and the support is bad. For the price OVH charges, compared to other providers, it doesn't deliver any real value.
I would suggest anyone to use another provider.

Impossible to discover service capabilitites
I run cloud infrastructure and have been looking to use OVH for additional capacity. I spoke to someone in their pre-sales team (in Spain) to clarify capabilities. They advised that I should email and they would ensure that specific questions were answered. I have sent several emails. I got one response at the outset saying that my queries were passed on, but nothing since (for more than 12 months) despite chasing.
Note that as reviews must be within 12 months and I have been waiting for more than 12 months now I have put todays date.
Update - OVH have responded asking for more information which is good. However they ask for details of the account I have with them, which completely misses the point that this review is regarding the failure to enable me to buy from them as I was unable to discover enough detail about their services to place an order. I have provided contact details to enable them to contact me to follow up.

Support/billing is awful
I've used OVH and before then SYS for many years but now I would find it hard to recommend them.
There support for billing issues is horrendous as you can't create tickets for pricing issues you have to contact sales not via a ticket and you only get 300 characters to explain your issue instead of using the ticket system like everyone else
I would only ever recommend OVH servers if they are on a mega deal unless you are going to sit in contract while people pay lower than you and when you get out of contract they refuse to readjust the price of the server to what they current advertise. There pricing is cheap but it's a slap in the face to have to be paying more than new customers or be paying double than a customer who bought it on a deal.
But just to reiterate the breaking point for me was when you refused to readjust my price to the new one after my contract (I was asking to match with the without commitment price just to be clear)
I was told to contact sales not through tickets for some stupid reason only to have a ticket created and be answered by the same person who told me to contact sales.
The reason this isn't 1 star is I've had no problems with the hardware or networking however the main thing when it comes down to is cost and to pay double what new customers and to be told to reorder my server instead of reducing my prices is unacceptable for a company of this size
If you could help it would look elsewhere
**Update do not give them credit for asking for more information nothing has been done and I have not been contacted

customer service is poor
customer service is poor. they don't help. For some reason I stopped receiving my logging details after 7 times my account was blocked and I raised a dispute, they said I need to login and raise a dispute.....???? Any way I couldn't login so via the paypal email asked they refund me they refused, Went to paypal and pp also refused to give my money, I would recommend ppl using a credit card as you are covered. For some reason paypal don't cover you on this under the buyers protection. To date cant access a whole yrs service for 12usd which was for testing reasons. Good job I didn't take all my business over there. I would suggest people look for cloud computing which with support before and after you become a customer and a refund policy. If they don't have any avoid like OVH. It is also French company. Are u a joke would u like me to copy and paste the conversation on PayPal message boards??? This is why ur a bad company u ignore ppl. U don't know who says what. U customer reps are all freelancers and don't help. U might be a direct rep who knows nothing of what is happening in ur own business. My argument has been validated. Disgraceful company. How are u even still trading.

Support is Only Mon-Fri , Bad support when server did not reboot
Writing without prejudice
I signed up with their dedicated servers. I installed the OS, installed cpanel and migrated my websites, and restarted the server the server does not boot up properly it booted in rescue mode only. This happened on a weekend, I promptly raised a support ticket. i waited for hours all i got was automated email telling a technician at the DC is looking into it , everything is fine problem is with your software. What, the OS was supplied with OVH and how can there be a problem with the OS. the customer service replied the same on monday telling all hardware is fine at our end, problem is with your software.
The customer service works only Mon-Fri business hours. imagine an issue like above in production servers happens on a weekend ,we are left in the lurch . there was NO WAY to reach anybody. their chat feature is a automated bot which redirects to online documentation. For reference and authenticity of my review i have given below details for reference.
what are we supposed to do when the machine boots up only in rescue mode ? will NOT recommend ovh
