Tried OVH once. Couldn't even finish the account setup. Was rather dissapointed because I wanted not to depend on just one provider. Might give them a chance again.

I rented a VPS from the French website (their native language), and it was confusing. I remember looping through the same 2 pages 10 times before actually finding the instance's access instructions.

Of course, you don't have to care about the console once you have SSH access to the server. It seems to be pretty good service for the money.

Hetzner is German, not french.

Ovh is french.

Sure, but who is Hetzner? My comment was about OVH.
Omg. Hetzner is similar to OVH and DigitalOcean.

It seems that i misread somewhere? Weird

I think the sentence: how can DO and Vultr even compete was my interpretation of the better offering of Hetzner ( including uptime). Sorry

I just recently signed up for some stupidly low-priced VPS on OVH and encountered no problems at all with the sign-up. The only issue I had was when I went to increase the RAM - it said the price was $1/month, but when I bought it I was charged $5 and it took support a week to get back to me to tell me I didn't read the small print properly and that it said they would have to upgrade the Windows license which was an extra fee.

tl;dr: watch the small print and their support is slow as fuck. otherwise, incredible value for money.
