OVHcloud

OVHcloud is one of the largest cloud infrastructure providers in the world and the largest in Europe, operating 43 data centers across 4 continents with over 430,000 servers. Founded in 1999 in France, OVHcloud provides a comprehensive range of cloud services including public cloud, private cloud, dedicated servers, web hosting, domain registration, and managed Kubernetes. The company distinguishes itself by owning and operating its entire infrastructure stack from server manufacturing to data center cooling, which enables aggressive pricing that typically undercuts AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud by 50 to 80 percent for equivalent resources. OVHcloud is a strong advocate for European data sovereignty, certified under ISO 27001, SOC 1 and 2, HDS for healthcare data, and compliant with GDPR with all European data staying within EU borders. The public cloud offering is built on OpenStack, providing compatibility with a widely adopted open-source ecosystem. Dedicated server pricing is particularly competitive, with powerful bare-metal servers available at prices that would only get a basic VPS elsewhere. The Managed Kubernetes service provides container orchestration without the overhead of cluster management. OVHcloud also offers anti-DDoS protection included on all services, a global CDN, and Object Storage compatible with the S3 API. The platform serves a wide range of customers from individual developers to enterprises and is particularly popular in Europe where data residency requirements make US-based providers problematic.
