OVHcloud – European web hosting
France's largest cloud provider with 43 data centres across Europe and beyond. Family-founded in 1999, publicly listed, with a strong focus on data sovereignty and competitive pricing.
Quick facts
Prices undercut AWS and Google Cloud by a wide margin for comparable specs, and OVHcloud's scale means 43 data centres to choose from for latency or data-residency reasons.
The control panel and documentation feel less refined than AWS's, and support quality varies depending on which plan tier you're on.
Why does it score 83?
Incorporated in Roubaix, France – a full EU member state.
Publicly traded with the founding Klaba family retaining majority control, so it's not fully independent but stays firmly EU-anchored.
OVHcloud owns and runs its own data centres across Europe and beyond, including its own liquid cooling technology.
GDPR-compliant, but the platform isn't open source and there's no independently published security audit on record.
