Just popping in to say that OVH is the cheapest option for a reason -- support/monitoring/any other features you might want are just not there like they might be on other providers.

I host a single tiny website on OVH and they restart it randomly every ~4 months without warning (seriously). It was annoying at first until I set our services to run on system boot.

Some more discussion at discourse.org that's relevant: https://meta.discourse.org/t/migrate-from-digital-ocean-to-o...

I suppose it depends on what OVH offering you buy. I have multiple servers at OVH with multiple years of uptime, but those are dedicated ones and not the cheapest Kimsufi offerings.

I have multiple projects on the cheapest Hetzner.cloud offering and haven't run into any of these issues. might be worth looking into.

Which pretty much is how things were always done, even in the PHP-CGI days.
