> Isn't OVH a budget hoster, especially compared to AWS? Are you compensating that somewhat on the engineering and high-availability side?

The OVH control panel is probably the worst I've experienced out of all clouds. Random failures (resources not showing up), crashes, white pages, things not working or a lack of features that are considered "basic". It's also extremely slow.

I'd say at least 25% of my requests on it fail.

I recently had a cloud database completely freeze and lock up (including the replicas), no restart function is provided, so had to make a ticket to get it restarted.

Can confirm, OVH is garbage. Lost my data multiple times. Luckily it was just random dev servers but I would NEVER EVER use them in production.

Stay away.

Unfortunately certain European companies don't do business with companies that use non-European cloud services, which doesn't leave you with much choice if you're looking for an alternative to AWS.
