OVHcloud
No one can say Mike Williams doesn’t have his head in the clouds as he tests a cloud-hosting provider geared towards tech-savvy users.
IN BRIEF
OVHcloud supplies its customers with a variety of competitively priced cloud-based necessities, including VPS, dedicated servers, bare-metal servers, hosted private cloud, public cloud, as well as hybrid solutions. It isn’t as geared towards beginners as we would have liked, its customer support needs a revamp, and the lack of a refund period means you can’t try out the service risk-free.
Founded in 1999 OVHcloud is a French web-hosting company with an international presence thanks to over 400,000 servers spread across more than 43 data centres in four continents. As the largest provider in Europe today, OVHcloud offers a wide range of hosting products. OVHcloud is one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest, providers when it comes to shared web hosting. Plans start at just $1.04 per month for the Starter Hosting tier, which gets you 1GB of disk space, a free domain name for the first year, support for one website, free SSL certificate, anti-DDoS protection, and one-click WordPress installation.
