You can hardly be surprised when OVH or Hetzner go down, just consider the price. Putting every server in one location is just stupid... as always the best way

You can hardly be surprised when OVH or Hetzner go down, just consider the price. Putting every server in one location is just stupid... as always the best way to fight downtimes is to spread servers across multiple providers & DC's.
- Dylan16807 13y agoGoing down is fine. Ignoring service problems is not fine.
- e12e 13y agoReminds me of a downtime report with my previous shell provider. They lost all Internet connection because someone had broken into a junction under a nearby freeway and cut all the fiberoptics and cables -- while preparing a robbery (presumably trying to cut alarm and/or off-site connections to cctv). Turned out the two "redundant" providers of fiber both had fiber going through that junction...
- NKCSS 13y agoYeah, I was kind off worries when they talked about OVH and Hetzner... they are notoriously bad... If you have to out-source your servers, at least pick a company that does it's job well (like LeaseWeb for instance).
