I recently moved from OVH to Hetzner as I could get better hardware for the same price.
No issues so far, but OVH's network seems to be better, especially for people in other continents.
Edit to add:
- I'm using their Germany DCs, not the Finland one (which is cheaper but peering is worse).
- Using a CDN does improve the latency/speed for users outside Europe, but it still influences performance as CDN exit point often connect directly to the origin to fetch uncached content.
- I lost a VPS with OVH's DC fire, but I had backups somewhere else and fixed it quickly. A good thing about the lower prices is that I can have backups on multiple services (also cheap - Backblaze B2, for example) and still save money compared to AWS, Google Cloud, etc.
