Do you trust Kimsufi with your data

When it comes to dedicated boxes that kimsufi provide do you trust your personal data on their network? just interested in other people thoughts and if not who do you trust?
Comments
No network is safe.even in ovh remember their last tragedy they still building up their datacenter
Eh, yeah. As much as anyone.
I'd trust kimsufi over most of hosts found on LET.
Definitely more trustable than any other summer hosts.
But always remember most of their servers have single drive. Only 1 or 2 model have 2 drive options and they aren't worth paying for compared to SYS.
Yes.
Trust that Kimsufi won't look at my data unless required to by law enforcement? Yes.
I wouldn't trust any single company to store my data in a redundant manner because by definition you need more than one company to store your data for it to be redundant.
Just have offsite backup systems that work, and you'll be fine.
Yes, as long as it isn't the only copy of said data...
Yes, I do.
Founded in 1999 (OVH). 22 years of existence in this sector are eons.
So I would say that they are quite reliable.
In Ovh We Trust
Regardless of provider, the data I truly care about won't be stored online, but offline
Definitely yes, one of the cheapest ways to have a server with meaningful full disk encryption (ie not a VPS)
I don’t trust my own computer
Kimsufi is owned by OVH which is a well known provider so yes it is trustworthy.
The safest data is destroyed data.
OVH is good at it.
Microsoft data centre had exactly the same issue or overheating so whole Irish data centre was offline, so the important questions: have you got a backup? Does your data important to you?
Backup is for pussies.
Real men never think about consequences until it's too late! That is the way of the balls.
i was more thinking storing private documents etc. How many providers actually look at their users content?
Just store them encrypted. You can use Seafile for that, for instance.
A provider like Kimsufi (OVH) is not going to spending time looking at your content without a specific reason. But as noted above, encrypt your docs and it's not an issue.
KVM or XEN is isolated containers compare to other virtualisation. The providers don't have rights access customer data without a valid reason like example: law enforcement or court order.
