An upvote wasn't enough - I REALLY wanted to work with OVH but their various web portals can't seem to even consistently remember your country or language, billing is a nightmare, etc. One of the few experiences I've had in life where they made working with them (and giving them money) so impossible I began to wonder if they're a front or money laundering operation. To be clear on that point I know they aren't and I'm not accusing them of any wrongdoing, the experience was so appallingly bad I had to come up with a humorous explanation just to rationalize the whole thing.
- truetraveller 9y agoGreat to know people confirming the horrible experience (actually bittersweet). Happy to know I'm not the "odd one out".
- Cyph0n 9y agoI was able to ignore the UX because I just needed a small box for OpenVPN and Caddy. I could not however continue using them once they asked me to verify my identity after a month of usage. I was paying $3.50 per month. No other hosting provider has asked me for that kind of information. With that stupid move, they lost a customer for life.
