Imagine AWS, with less features, but 10x-100x lower prices. And now you know why until a few years ago they were larger in traffic, customers, and number of servers than even AWS.
They’re a web/hosting service provider, like AWS or GCP, but with less services. They’re much more popular in European countries.
You went to ovh.net instead of ovh.com.
Largest hosting provider in Europe, probably top10 or top5 in the world.
French AWS/GCP is my understanding.
They are really more like Hetzner. They have "cloud", but most of the business is dedicated servers. They also operate kimsufi.com and soyoustart.com.
They do have APAC, Canadian, and US data centers as well.
