You don't use OVH for the UI, you use it for the cheap and reasonably stable network. Do a quick bandwidth cost comparison between OVH and Amazon and you'll see what I'm talking about, unfortunately I'm unable to load the AWS pricing on mobile under Firefox or Chrome.

Quick off the cuff assuming I use about 10 TB of bandwidth per month -

AWS 10 TB = $899,

OVH 10 TB = $89,

SYS (OVH SoYouStart) 10 TB = $30, (warning about 250mbit limit and minimal support applies)

DigitalOcean 10TB = $50 (using 10 $5 nodes which is admittedly less than optimal, just trying to get a raw bandwidth estimate though)

Perhaps this isn't a fair comparison, but if you're in an industry that can be bandwidth heavy it might be something to consider. I am and it's why we couldn't look seriously at AWS. For whatever reason AWS bandwidth is extremely expensive compared to the competition.
