Online.net vs OVH

marcyslen · Sep 10, 2016

Hi everyone, I am reading posts on this forum and found two VPS hosting companies online.net vs ovh. they offer good price and features. I was wondering which company is the better? Online.net or OVH. Who would you go with and why?

VirtuBox · Sep 10, 2016

I recommend you OVH. Both of them are providing unmanaged server, that mean they will not provide support about how to use their servers. If online.net/scaleway.com have better network speed, VPS performances are not good at all because they use cheap CPU only.

You should never have any downtime with OVH, and performances are really good but you have to be sure you are able to setup your server yourself.

As I see according to their websites online.net is offering 99.99% SLA while OVH is only 99.95% SLA. So I'd prefer to choose the higher uptime guarantees. However, I do not have personal experience with both hosts and it is better to wait for experience share or you can make your research with the help of review websites.

VirtuBox · Sep 12, 2016

Yes they offer 99.99% SLA with the Business support from $499/mo and only 99.95% with the premium support for $49.95. For free you have support tickets with no response time guarantee.

Online.net like scaleway.com are Iaas (Infrastructure as a Service) providers, so they provide fully unmanaged servers and you should not have downtime with them if your server is properly setup.

OVH and Online.net both of them provides completely unmanaged servers .. that means you will not have any kind of OS level support . Basically People who are technically sound with managing the servers generally sign up with OVH and online .. Regarding the down time its you and only .. how you manage your server , server security , backups etc.. OVH provides excellent control panel from where the servers can be reinstalled , KVM access and other IP management tool.

I can hire a sysadmin or managed hosting services to manage servers from Online.net or OVH for me but even this happens I could not clarify which is really better, as @sh-admin recommended, i should go with OVH? it has better web hosting control panel and server security?

Both are good, but OVH is also not too good at support ... both of them has their own importance, it totally depends on your requirement ... You should choose it based on the usage of the server ...

Thanks.

OVH is more stable than online

What do you mean for a stable hosting in this case? Why OVH is more stable than online?

I must keep an eye on this advice

hmy: and checking dedicated server packages on online.net.

What is Set-up fees: €20.00? If i can setup everything on my dedicated server then I don't need to pay them? or it is initial fee to have a dedicated server at online.net?

4 GB dedicated RAM on online.net is better than 4GB of RAM on a VPS at OVH?

I agree with VirtuBox in that OVH offers maximum DDoS protection possible all included in the price of their servers, whereas other providers usually only include a useless small amount of around 2-10Gbps which is so easy to saturate nowadays, and to increase the attack protection they want you to pay more. OVH seems to have better value for money in terms of DDoS protection, specs, features providing you can manage your own servers 100% yourself.

My vote goes to OVH.

Nixtree · Dec 17, 2016

OVH is best when you have a good sysadmin with you . Else you might have some difficulty with them as they are not that good in support / helps. Infrastructure and value of money is more in OVH and Me also suggest OVH provided you are good in managing the servers or have a sysadmin for the same.

I do not have personal expereince with the others and I do not wish to comment on them.

ovh are much more better, no setup fees and friendly support

Have you used both of these services? One of my business partners is considering using one of them so any good reliable input will be appreciated and passed on.

I checked VPS and dedicated server plans on Online.net but they don't include DDOS protection on their offers, it is a hidden feature or we need to buy this extra service if go with them.

Online.net use arbor networks for their ddos protection infrastructure more about: https://www.online.net/en/dedicated-server/ddos-arbor
But its not as good as ovh one.

OVH have great ddos protection and hardwares too, and the ips are only one time payment setup fee after no monthly for this upto 256 ips. But their support its a bit lazy instead of online.net, so if you don't need much ovh support then go with ovh.

Good morning,

OVH has good network and servers, but their support is very slow. I had any experience with Online.net but I think many small web hosting provider in Europe (and specially in France) goes to Online.net for their servers and to do datacenter colocation.

Lampard · Mar 1, 2017

Online.net? Never heard about that company before, i would still say to go with OVH, why? Cheaper, DDoS Protection, 99% Uptime

HostBastic · Mar 1, 2017

OVHs network is superior in comparison to Online.net's one, they have more datacenters globally and their ddos protection seems better. On the other hand online.net offers management as a addon service and their prices seem a bit lower.

When I should choose OVH and when I should choose online.net?
Your answer is pretty common but from what is answered here I guess i should choose OVH if I need a better DDOS service and cheaper services if i go with online.

VirtuBox said:
Online have a very good network speed but they are not able to handle ddos attack or other trouble and they can quickly close your service if you are using their resources too much.

Have you ever been closed server by online when it got ddos attacks so much?
I check their ddos protection service from online and it is not free, but expensive if compared with other providers.

Hostpad · May 7, 2017

I have used online.net/scaleway, never got downtime. i have tested them for more than 4 months , there servers are reliable. Speed is good, price is also good.

Rocketrix · May 10, 2017

I'd say go with Online.net but OVH offers are too flexible and the performance is too high comparing it to Online.net so I highly recommend OVH

Medhahosting · May 26, 2017

So far my knowledge both companies uses refurbished hardware purchased from eBay.OvH support is worst.
