I would love OVH if they would finally implement automatic recurring credit card billing. Ive been asking them for years. What a horrible single point of failure that is.

I believe this is due to them being a French entity and the French laws or banking systems requiring this. But I could be wrong, I'm basing it on the fact that Gandi had the same thing unit they created a US Entity which could do the billing. I'm guessing this is not far away for OVH either now.
Their biggest competitor - Online.net - is also French, yet offers recurring payments and even PayPal subscriptions.
They do have automatic recurring billing for the Public Cloud servers now, but on the dedicated servers it is still the old payment system for some reason.
