Terminate/suspend first. Message later. This is the standard way in lowend budget segment.
Once I had a power supply which terminated unexpectedly but without any other issues resulting in service ending without warning.
I think it depends on the host in question, whether or not they pay their bills and do the right thing in general... the same thing applies if you resell someone's service who depends on you to pay your bills, on and on it goes. What if OVH forget to pay their power bill? lol
they will message you to solve it . give you a deadline after that you are kicked from their system. I guess you can re-order unless they block the whole account which you made a big mess .
Different countries. Different laws. Different sales models. Different customers. Different languages. Different mentality of people. Different payment methods.
Reseller always knows more than other clients with 1-20 servers. For example, there is a buyer and it is easier for him to pay the reseller to do everything. Large Internet clients always have a spare chance, they always have spare servers in another data center.
The future of hosting is a selling point. It seeks to sell everything, different data centers, different locations. Any request for a service to answer yes yes yes.
To avoid such as you described above, you must divide the servers into accounts. 10-20 servers per account to give.
I see, is it possible to have multiple accounts with OVH for the same company?
We'd like to offer reseller hosting on our servers, but I am thinking, as they are reseller accounts, it is hard to keep constant control of what may be uploaded etc....
Or if its just worth sticking to shared?
I had a kvm from vmhaus on a node at OVH BHS that was apparently confiscated by the Mounties a year or so ago ...
LOL... any reason behind it?
That's the risk you take by using a third party. You can get good reseller hosting for less than the cost of a cpanel license, and for the most part you will be fine. Otherwise you have to pay for your own datacenter, server, network, license etc and have (mostly) full control.
I never dug into it any further to find out the gory details ... I didn't care to know too much, eh?
Here's the email I got from vmhaus (almost exactly a year ago - despite the 2017/02/22 date given in the email)
Hmmmm, this looks kinda serious to have a court order, i'd have thought most hosting providers would have done the same.
OVH's upper management is extremely detached from their clients. To them, you're just xxxxxxx-ovh (or sys/ks). Things related to abuse generally go quite slow. Its advantageous to having an account manager or some "familiars" at the local OVH support team who would notify you if there is some abuse related issue with your account. If you can't control your clients abusing your services, then OVH is not the right host for you. I've seen users get their accounts disabled over a single DMCA complaint. Hetzner is kind of sort of in the same boat and maybe a step ahead as they are notorious for letting their local police seize drives without a court order and simply a warrant.
For the big companies like OVH, Online.net and Hetzner, they know whatever stock you drop, is going to get resold sooner rather than later. All it takes is a small flash sale or reprovisioning the machines as limited edition to recover the loss they made from losing you as a client.
