Cheaper, but does it also provide value? For non-critical things, OVH provide relatively good value for money. For critical things, I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.

OVH is a dysfunctional company that somehow turns a profit. We almost lost our company's domain name twice due to their incompetence.

We paid OVH for the renewal of our company's domain name several weeks before its expiration. This domain hosted our google apps for business and more. We received an invoice and bank statements for that. OVH never renewed with the registry. We only got to know about this because of a standard email warning from the country's registry (not OVH as a registrar) itself about quarantaine and expiry! We spent over eight hours over several days talking to OVH. I have been able to verify that the problem was on the side of OVH only, and not on the registry's side at all. In the end, we made a direct payment to the registry to make sure the domain was not deleted.

I've been using ovh (proper OVH brand) for years and the only issues I've had recently was a service without an SLA which I foolishly used without a failover in a different dc (load balancing ips had an outage for ~5h recently)

Other than that they've been top notch, support is slow, but the non-human things are working as advertised

My VPS at OVH lost IPv6 connectivity four days ago... No one seems to care...

To offer an anecdote to counter an anecdote, I'm using OVH proper as well as SoYouStart, one of their "developer" brands and I've had zero issues with either.
