OVH.com Review
visit provider
Background
Business Name: OVH
Year of foundation: 1999
Location: Dublin, UK
BBB Accreditation: No
Market Size: > 400K websites (#5 HRank list)
Growth Status: (by websites quantity): Increasing
OVH.com is a French hosting provider giant, which is headquartered in Dublin and operates both in Europe and the US. Founded in 1999, it boasts having 27 data centers located on both sides of the pond as well as “More than 1 million customers in 138 countries already rely on our infrastructures”.
Advanced equipment and the huge scale of their operations make them a true power dominating the region. Still, the feedback they received is far from being positive.
While some customers are satisfied with what they get from the French hosting provider, the overwhelming majority of users have something to complain about. It must be noted, though, that in some cases it is difficult to say whose fault it actually was, so not all negative reviews are based on accurate information.

OVH Summary Analysis by HRank
The company’s HRank rating for 2018 is 5.8 (the 83d position), for 2019 6.3 (the 95 position) and is bad result.
The major reason is that no 100% uptime was detected from June to December 2018; rather, fluctuations in the range of 99-98%. The worst result was 98.004% on 28 March 2019. Taking into consideration the size of the company, this was not the best uptime result.
Response time results were also not the fastest, if compared to some other providers, though, more or less stable (in the range of 1,000ms) in 2018 and in 2019. Only September 2018 periods saw even slower responses.
Despite all this, the company increased the number of domains and Shared IPs that hosted them. And this seems to be the case that, despite the obvious, customers choose this web hosting provider.
OVH is not on our recommendation list.
