>ts OVH: The Hardware is good DDoS protection is good The Prices are high
The prices are high? Compared to what? Cheap is their raison d'être.
Their prices are pretty amazing for some of the configurations you can put together, especially since you can pay a large setup fee in exchange for a lower monthly rate.
Just the bandwidth alone would cost us 3x what we pay at OVH if we were with one of the big cloud providers.

compared to other dedicated Server Hardware, not talking about business Cloud Infrastructure, no idea about that.
Sry if that caused confusion
Who's cheaper on the dedicated side? Hetzner can be a bit cheaper than soyoustart but wouldn't be aware of anyone else (with reasonable quality).
I've tried Hetzner but the Network Peering to Telekom is subpar compared to OVH. On Hetz I got about 40Mbps up/down to my local computer while on OVH I can easily load my DSL 100% without issues.
OVH is one of the few with direct peering to Telekom, most don't want to pay for that. Otherwise Hetzner is good, their own network is limited but peering works reasonably well. But apart from them I'm not aware of anyone with cheaper dedicated prices than soyoustart
I was considering their entire line...soyoustart, kimsufi, and ovh. There's not much cheaper than them. Hetzer in some cases, but not all.
but
support/administration does not work well, i have a lot of really weird story's with them, from them plugging in a keyboard in our server to reboot it (without any reason) to taking down a server for a requested maintenance only to notice after 4 hours of downtime that they did not ask their bosses if they were allowed to even perform the maintenance requested (and then not getting permission to do so after another 2 hours ..)
For me it feels like there are some really deep issues somewhere in the whole administration that make incidents like this no real surprise
Problem is most other providers dont work any better, so ...
Everyone makes mistakes, let's just hope they learn from it.
