OVHcloud

Web hosting is a service that allows you to get your website online. It features digital storage space for your files accessible online, a database to store content, an email solution, and a backup system. OVHcloud offers shared, VPS, and dedicated hosting solutions.

OVHcloud offers shared web hosting (Starter, Personal, Pro, Performance), VPS (VPS-1, VPS-2, VPS-3 and higher tiers), dedicated servers (Kimsufi, Rise, Advance, Scale, High Grade), and Public Cloud instances. Each suits different levels of traffic and technical requirements.

Yes, you can upgrade your VPS configuration in one click from the OVHcloud Control Panel, without manually migrating your data. Downgrades require subscribing to a new plan and transferring data manually.

Yes, daily backup is included for free on all VPS plans, so you can quickly restore your data if needed. Premium backup options offer week-old restore points and scheduled backups. Snapshots are also available.

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is used for hosting websites (e-commerce, content, visual media) and software applications (portals, extranets, collaborative solutions, wikis, CRM). It bridges shared hosting and dedicated servers with isolated resources.

Yes, a VPS can be configured to host multiple websites or projects. You can use control panels like Plesk or cPanel for simplified management of multiple sites on a single VPS.

Web hosting suits basic needs with pre-configuration and easy management. VPS offers more flexibility for scaling projects with complex requirements, full root access, and the ability to install custom software.

Yes, all OVHcloud services include built-in anti-DDoS protection at no additional cost. This protects against volumetric attacks and helps maintain service availability.

OVHcloud operates 43 data centers across 4 continents: France (Gravelines, Roubaix, Strasbourg), Germany (Frankfurt, Limburg), UK (London), Canada (Beauharnois), USA, Singapore, Sydney, and Warsaw. Traffic allocation may vary by location.

The VPS 2025 range offers more resources for less, with daily automatic backups included, unlimited traffic, and global locations for low latency. All VPS plans include anti-DDoS protection and 99.9% SLA.

OVHcloud does not offer a traditional money-back guarantee on most products. However, some web hosting plans include a cooling-off period. VPS and dedicated servers are billed monthly with no long-term commitment required.

OVHcloud web hosting supports PHP (versions 5.6 through 8.3), HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and SQL. Node.js, Python, and Ruby are not available on shared hosting but can be used on VPS and dedicated servers.

SSH access is available on Pro and Performance web hosting plans. Starter and Personal plans use FTP only. All VPS and dedicated servers include full root SSH access.

Yes, all web hosting plans (Starter, Personal, Pro, Performance) include a free domain name for the first year. After the first year, domain renewal is billed at standard rates.

With shared hosting, you share server resources with other users and save costs. With a dedicated server, you have a physical server exclusively for you in OVHcloud data centers, providing full hardware control and guaranteed performance for demanding applications.
