I have multiple dedis (not VPSs) at OVH Canada (Windows on bare metal as well as Proxmox with Linux and Windows VMs). You'll want multiple dedis there too, if you use them.
Occasionally a server will hard lock and when you got into the management web app and ask for a reboot it will say that the system is not responding and they have to send a tech to go physically power cycle it. When that happens (and it will, it's happened to ALL of my dedis there at some point) you're down for 30-90 minutes.
They provide remote reboot and a java-based ILO which can solve most weird issues, but the hard lock stuff continues to confound us.
- halfeatenpie 9y agoOh wow. That's something new. We currently have multiple dedicated servers out of OVH BHS Canada (bare metal servers) and I have never ran into that problem. Most of the time I believe OVH gives you all the tools necessary. If I recall correctly, I believe their power-cycle feature is sending a SNMP command to the UPS, so their online control panel should technically work, but mileage may vary. We've started moving on to Colocated hardware though. Unless you specifically need OVH's VAC system or their network (or free 256 IPs with setup fees), I've found OVH's availability of hardware and configurations to be fairly lacking. Glad it works out for you guys though!
- lilbobbytables 9y agoYikes. That's what I want to avoid. Since I'm going VPS, I'm looking at RamNode now instead. The CEO is actually really nice and accessible, and their customers seem to really vouch for them.
