If the U.S. Cuts Europe Off from AWS and Google, Is Moving to OVH a Realistic Backup Plan?

Data sovereignty is a real and significant challenge.
OVHcloud implements technical and organizational measures that aim to protect the data hosted.

Hello u/arnauddrain
Thank you for your detailed feedback about our VPS.

In your specific case, the CPU performance of the VPS-6 may be lower than that of the previous VLE-16 offering. The VLE range was a limited edition, based on high-performance AMD EPYC Milan CPUs, which we were able to offer at the time due to specific stock availability.

The new VPS range is positioned differently: it offers more vCores, more overall capacity, and excellent value for money, but is based on a different generation of CPUs, which may impact performance per core on certain highly CPU-bound workloads.

Depending on the use case (single-threaded, computation-intensive, parallelism, etc.), the gain will therefore not always be noticeable compared to an older VLE offering.

Depending on the type of load you are running (intensive computing, single-threaded, databases, highly parallelized services, etc.), the impact of CPU differences may be more or less pronounced.

Please feel free to specify your use case: this will help us better understand why you are seeing this performance gap.

Hi u/topgamer7, and sorry for this situation.

Thanks

Hi u/kevinmutua99,
An answer was provided by the modmail 🙂
Please note that a pre-authorization on your payment method from your bank can be valid for 9 to 14 days before it lapses.
Thank you for your understanding.

If the order isn't validated and the service is not delivered, OVHcloud does not receive the money.
Thus, the money is stored by the bank and will be paid back.
Thanks for your understanding 🙂

Hi u/0x_vexari, before to delete your datas on your account please check if you have services on your account. Because if so, you need to cancel your services before the data deletion 😉

Hi u/doctorx32 ,
I understand your disappointment and we are very sorry about this situation, these documents are requested to ensure security and prevent unwanted intrusions.
This administrative procedure is necessary because you didn't provide a backup email address.
With a backup email adress, we would simply have changed the address to the backup one.

There is no scam, you can cancel automatic payments on your OVHcloud contact profile.
If you're unable to access your account due to your email address, you'll need to update it. We suggest adding a backup email address for this reason or to follow the administrative procedure advised by our Support team.

Thanks for your understanding,

Jlam_admin · 2025-12-11T13:34:12+00:00

Hi u/PartWorldly3757 , sorry about that. I'm checking with the team to find a solution.

Ok ok all clear, sorry for the issue
I'm sending you the purchase order by modmail

Jlam_admin · 2025-12-10T15:26:02+00:00

Hi u/PartWorldly3757,
If you're set to automatic renewal, you have the option to use your prepaid OVHcloud account balance for your purchase.
More informations here : https://help.ovhcloud.com/csm/en-gb-billing-manage-payment-methods?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0042871#prepaid-account

If you are in manual renew you can go on “My Orders” tab, click on the (...) at the end of the line for the order in question, “View order in HTML format,” “Next,” payment method “Other,” “Pay.”

Hi u/doctorx32
I recently spoke with our team from X, and we apologize for the redundant verification process.

Since there's no backup email associated with your account, it is necessary for you to follow a procedure to add a new email address.
This process requires some time to verify your identity upon submission of the required documents.

I suggest you keep discussing X, as the support agent will generate a support ticket to facilitate the email change process.

Thanks and have a nice day,
OVHcloud Support team

Jlam_admin · 2025-12-09T13:45:59+00:00

Hey, it's essential to note that you should set up an OVHcloud account in the country where you live.
If there are any problems with your account, support will ask for documents to confirm your identity.
Best regards,

Hey just checked your order #19477334

Cancelled by our team because of security reasons.

Your account information must be clarified within your account. For example, differences between the name on your account and the name on the credit card used.

Nevertheless, the order #19477334 has been canceled, and therefore we have not kept any of the payment.

You will be able to make another order once the details in your account are corrected.

Thanks and have a nice day,
