Indeed, OVH UI is slow and bulky. I moved to Hetzner for a lot of things. Even cheaper, had one server issue, but quickly fixed by their support ( a bios to upgrade ), their UX is simple but efficient. Any other opinion on them?

There's a lot of banking regulations but Amazon has enough money to either buy an existing online solution or develop their own
In the US, owning a bank changes the regulatory status of the entire legal entity structure. This cannot be evaded with shell companies, etc. Specifically, “any company that controls a bank” is a Bank Holding Company and is regulated by the Federal Reserve (regardless of where the controlled bank is chartered). Being regulated by the Fed is a big deal and they can and will poke around in your non-bank subsidiaries (w…
Important notes about OVH: -I'm a customer for about ~2 years. -I was "just" using OVH object storage, and was considering other OVH services. -I'm all about "cheap,cheap,cheap" -OVH is super-cheap, which is good. -I want OVH to "win". OVH doesn't want to "win". Because.. -OVH is super-confusing. Interface, website, billing, everything. -website uses esoteric design conventions. A European thing? I don't know. -feels…
I wanted to store a couple gigs of data online.
A friend told me that OVH had a service for that.
I checked their service and found it; wow it was literally 10x as expensive as competitors.
Turns out there are 2 services to store data online by OVH, the one I am looking for was named differently and hard to find on their website.
After seeing that they both had extremely negative reviews, I did not look further.

2M hits per hour, 1M uniques. It's crazy!
I'm guessing it's mostly automated. Are you being used by a popular software package that you know of?
A github search shows over 1000 code results.
AWS, Azure and GCloud are all so good at Marketing themselves that a lot of people don't even hear about alternatives.
I used a lot OVH both for private reasons and pushed it into my company.
It is by far the cheapest (by a factor of 3-4* in my case), and it is shockingly easy to get to talk to core engineers in case you have any real issue.
The founder Octave Klaba is also a character. A Huge geek, that lives for OVH.

Care to explain what the business model is here?
https://wtfismyip.com/why There is literally an entire page explaining that there is no business model other than a donation button. There are shockingly people than run websites either as a hobby or to provide a useful service for others with no expectation of making money from it.

Okay, that's good to know. However, I had a quick glance at Hetzner (an OVH competitor), and it looks to be using esoteric design. I was thinking about using Hetzner, but I dread it may be like OVH. Anyone with first-hand experience with Hetzner?
I have a few dedicated boxes for almost 10 years now. I highly recommend it. I use it to run bitcoinity.org since it was created in 2011. Because of relatively big database (2TB) and many concurrent websocket connections (peaking around 20K) cost would be prohibitive elsewhere. Great uptime, instant responses, eKVM and blah blah I'm not their marketing team, I'm just a really happy customer. I've tried OVH I think on…

I use OVH's So You Start line and I think my biggest complaint is that they don't allow automatic renewal. Every monthly renewal means manually keying in my card number every month. The only alternative is to pre-pay in 3, 6, or 12 months in advance. It is the only online service I use that doesn't handle auto-renewal.
