Is OVH VPS SSD reliable for production?

My freeloading days at DigitalOcean are about to be over as the free credit is running out. There is supposed to be a 50% off offer tomorrow if paid yearly. Is it reliable?

  • Those vps are running very smooth. Never had any problems with OVH.
    And you can set 20 firewall rules per IP.

    I run one of my control panels on it, haven't had any downtime since I've put it to use. Only have one though.

  • what is the difference between those 3 vps categories at ovh?

    one of them is high memory series, one is the normal series and the third one?

  • For "production" I'll use multiple VPS for redundancy. And I never used their VPS line but I'm pretty happy with their dedi lines.

    "Cloud RAM" and just "Cloud" both use HA-storage with redundant SAN based on Ceph.

    The VPS-SSD on the other hand apparently just uses local SSD on the nodes. Given the fact they faced some terrible problems with Ceph lately, this might be actually more reliable. Also there are complaints about the performance of their HA storage, whereas have seen none so far for VPS-SSD. Each VPS is limited at 1000 IOPS only, though.

    so which one is better for production? vps ssd or the cloud series?

    1000 IOPS means cam have only 1000 files or?

    Regarding the feature set, their cloud line is better, but to use the features (backup, snapshots, etc.) it cost extra. Both would probably work fine though if uptime is your only goal.

    Know it wasn't directed at me, but mine have been fine for awhile now. Early this year there was a big power outage at BHS and took out my VM for ~12 hours.. think I got like 1 or 2 months credit for that.

    No issues since then, that's the only bad OVH outage I've experienced.

  • I've got 14 in BHS, works fine in production

  • It can't be done month to month ?
    (Someone mentioned having to pay a year upfront and I'm willing to have quite a few but need to test waters first)

    BlackFriday coupon is for annual billing only.

  • I'm being taken to pay with my cc . any idea why?
    Paid before with Paypal funds ( verified account)

  • Its paypals decision not ovh

  • @WHT said:

    1000 IOPS means cam have only 1000 files or?

    1000 read or write operations per second excluding those cached in the memory.

    and not recurring?

    About an hour, a bit less.

    netrix said: and not recurring?

    Correct.

    Also beware, got one at SBG, one at GRA, the GRA one comes with no IPv6.

  • Just got my first OVH in SBG within 20 minutes.
