I got a VPS at OVH which claims to have "triple data replication". One day it crashed at root password reset (they forced me to reset the root password). I contacted them but they said I have to reinstall the VPS. wtf? I told them that they have the data replicated. They replied with "Yes, the data is replicated but the data is corrupted. So you still have to reinstall the OS". Never trust marketing quotes, do regular backups and never choose the lowest price :)
