Others already commented about the accusatory tone of the article, but I want to focus on: >But public sector agencies were selecting it as a way to support Europe’s native tech sector, and also to take a step towards digital sovereignty I care about neither, but I did -and still do - use OVH. They were never good, but they were always cheap. They provide good VPS and dedicated bare metal servers. They were not a "cloud" like DigitalOcean or AWS, with things happening magically in the background. Therefore, there are no backups included, by default servers come with RAID but I dismantle mine for more disk space (and do offsite backups). Also, they are bigger than the article suggests. Even if they're not well known outside of Europe: >As of 2016 OVH owned the world's largest data center in surface area.[3] As of 2019, it was the largest hosting provider in Europe,[4][5] and the third largest in the world based on physical servers.[6] According to W3Techs, OVH has 3.4% of website data center market share in 2024
