Comment on OVH to establish North American headquarters and first U.S. data centerparent

Comments

It should be a big thing, but their marketing/hype machine is seriously lacking. As a first step, building a data center presence in SV/west coast would help.

Their ability to do automated recurring billing, amazingly, is also lacking. I really wish they would fix that already. It's kindof a deal breaker for most people.

How so? I've had servers with OVH and Online.net for about 10 years, and only had to look at the billing forms when I moved countries.

I had an even more annoying issue with their billing system.

I had 5 VPSs and whenever it was time for renewal, one of the VPSs would turn off ~5 days prematurely (before the renewal date). I contacted support multiple times about the error in their billing system until I got too frustrated and migrated last month.
