OVH Dedicated Server Price Increase by 20%

HostXNow · Dec 15, 2016

What do you think of this email that I received earlier this morning regarding OVH increasing the cost of their servers by 20%? Only affects UK customers at the moment, but could well apply to everyone soon.

Dear customer,

At OVH we are committed to remaining competitive in both our prices and product ranges. While we have postponed action for as long as possible, economic changes following the Brexit decision have forced us to re-evaluate our pricing.

Back in June the UK decided to leave the European Union which caused the UK economy to rock and weakened theâ€‰British pound against the Euro/Dollar. This impacted many businesses across the UK and in OVH's case it triggered a price increase from our suppliers which we have absorbed over the past few months.

In response, OVH has had to carefully review its pricing structure across certain product ranges. As expected, following our in-depth review we have had to increase our Dedicated Server prices by 20%. We are in the process of updating our website to reflect this change today (Thursday the 15th of December). At the moment the new pricing only affects new customers and new orders. In contrast, as a valued existing customer, these changes will not be applied to your existing servers until your 15th of January 2017 invoice.

Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in OVH.

Hiren Parekh,

Director, Sales & Marketing

Who knows what they up to really and the true reasoning behind the decision. One thing is for sure 20% on the large amount of customers they have will be huge revenue boost.

It may be justified, but 20% is a huge increase. I'm sure they are padding that some to add some to their bottom line though.

Good day

I am an ovh customer in the United States

At the moment, they have not reported increases in the prices of their dedicated servers

I hope this does not happen, because its dedicated servers are powerful and with great performance.

Blessings

Possibly because of VAT?

Where will their new pricing put them in comparison compared to their competitors?

I think we all knew their pricing had to go up sooner or later, so this 20% increase really doesn't surprise me.

OVH is mostly milking money from their customers now and with this increase, I am sure it will make more..

Too bad I found their support to be non existent. The increase would be fine if support would increase in quality in my opinion.

Yes, if you don't call them, it can take up to a week. But vps cost $3.

Depending on what you have with them it might be a fair price increase. DDoS attacks, hacking attempts, etc have been on an incline and stuff like that happens to be very costly. So, it might seem unfair to you but in the end it's just a matter of asking yourself "is the product worth it?"
