I'm french and I've been using low-cost offers from OVH (Kimsufi) or Illiad (Online.net) since a couple of years.
I just have ONE objection: If you plan to do something professional with them, just, don't.
For them, every client is dispensable (even if you rent 200 servers or more). They won't hesitate a single second to delete your server if they have a small problem with you (for example, getting DDoS'd).
OVH have shutdowned servers from a small association who was offering hosting, on the basis that the server made 3 DNS request to some "weird" server in Poland, for example.
So, it's okay for personal stuff, and, backup everything- your data is definitely not safe on their servers.
- codexon 14y agoHow do you order from online.net? It keeps on saying: Erreur : Vous ne pouvez accéder à cette page tant que la console est en phase de beta.
- quicksilver03 14y agoYou have to be a French resident (so probably an IP address geo-located in France) and pay by direct debit to a French bank account.

- GreySyntax 14y agoI make strange DNS and connection requests constantly and have never had an issue with OVH, I think there's more to the story than that
- wut42 14y agoI searched a lot but couldn't find the story anymore— if I recall, it was the association Toile-Libre who suffered from that. I remember others example too, i'll try to find the stories and post them here.
- jdemoor 14y agoI've been a customer for 7 years and don't have single complaint. Do you have any source for your claims? Suggesting they'd shut out any client for any reason, making them unsuitable for doing business, when they run 100 000 servers is a little doubtful.
- wut42 14y agoJust another proof: they recently removed the possibility to rent RIPE IPs with a Kimsufi offer. I choosed Kimsufi because of the possibility to rent RIPE IPs… they removed the possibility without telling anybody…
