Obviously yes, why wouldn't they?
I know for a fact that I do. Yes, I was affected by the fire, and had to pull the backups and rebuild the whole stack - we got a few hours of downtime. And yet I stayed with OVH, the main reason being that, even taking into account this unfortunate event, you get a great value for your money.
Of course, some businesses can't afford any downtime: in this case, whichever provider one chooses, they have to go multi-cloud, or at least distribute their setup on multiple regions. I have been burned (figuratively!) in the past all the same with big names cloud provider... Shit just happens, be prepared!
- markvdb 4y ago> Obviously yes, why wouldn't they? Because OVH's negligence transpires more widely than just in DC fires. I've had my primary business domain name almost expire twice due to OVH's incompetence. I should have run away the first time. I finally did the second time. Never again, thankyouverymuch. Some low cost providers do offer acceptable quality. OVH was (is?) not one of those.
