#3Just a reminder, from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OVH#Email_spam):
As of November 2019, OVH is listed by The Spamhaus Project as the world's
second worst Internet service provider for the proliferation of unsolicited bulk E-Mail
Looking at the same list now, it recently seems to have added fraud, and many malware distribution entries too.

This is like saying Google is the search engine with the most links to malware pages. 36 IPs is nothing given how big ovh is.

Is this the list you are referring to? https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/networks/
Seems like OVH is not on it anymore.

It's the biggest European cloud provider.

Cool. Sounds like they've put good effort into cleaning things up then. :)

That’s good, it means they won’t bother me about whatever I choose to host. Thanks for your recommendation!

#9I had the worst experience from a vps/dedicated hosting provider with OVH few years back, long story short I had a dedicated server with software raid, after a month, one of the disks failed I gave them all the details SN of the disk at fault etc, but apparently the removed the good disk and I lost the server, I asked them to put it back and they told me they had destroyed it, luckily I had backup. Lastly I asked for a refund they didn’t give anything back.
I moved to hetzner immediately, and I haven’t had such issues till today.
I know that you can’t expect much from cheap providers but OVH is extremely unprofessional in my experience.

#10OVH Hardware, support and pricing is GREAT! Buuuuutttttt...
Their firewall situation is not. Guess what, if you use the supplied firewall, any server from any other customer in the local NOC that your server is in, can connect to your server. They seem to be all "safely" behind the OVH firewall product.
You have to protect each server individually with its own in-machine firewall.
I don't want to automatically trust all other OVH customers.
At first I thought I was doing something wrong (more than a decade of setting up firewalls). But I did put in a support ticket and they confirmed this.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe something I did not understand, but damn... If I'm not.... :-(
