>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
Re:OVH Incident in Strasbourg by tyingq on Thursday November 09, 2017 @07:20PM (#15666942)
I was considering their entire line...soyoustart, kimsufi, and ovh. There's not much cheaper than them. Hetzer in some cases, but not all.

Well, Hetzner for example.
