Public Cloud

Code “PAAS23”
Limited voucher code “PAAS23” is applicable to all first-time setup of a Public Cloud project. Both new and existing clients can request to use this special offer, provided that they have not already created a Public Cloud project in the past, whether it is still active or not. Special offer available from 21 November 2023, 13:00 GMT to 14 December 2023, 13:00 GMT. The voucher must be activated when the holder creates their first Public Cloud project. The voucher is only valid for the purchase of Public Cloud services provided by OVHcloud, purchased directly from OVHcloud via the website, in all available Public Cloud regions, excluding free offers and free beta testing services. This voucher cannot be used in conjunction with any other current special offers applicable to the services concerned, including the “PAAS23” special offer. The voucher applies to standard, non-discounted public rates (as published on the OVHcloud website). The voucher’s value is listed in the publicly displayed currency for the market/country to which the Public Cloud account with the voucher is attached, excluding taxes, and can only be used to order services in the same currency. The voucher is valid for the purchase of services usually available in the market to which the NIC handle used is linked. The voucher is assigned to a specific natural or legal person who already has an OVHcloud client account, and is linked to their OVHcloud NIC handle (unique ID). If the natural or legal person has several NICs, the voucher shall be attached to a single NIC. The voucher cannot then be linked to a different NIC handle, and only one voucher may be used. A single natural or legal person can only use one voucher, even if that person has several different NIC handles. In the event that the voucher is used by a NIC handle other than the NIC handle to which the voucher is attached, OVHcloud reserves the right to automatically cancel or terminate the services obtained as a result, without reissuing the voucher and without legal formality or compensation. To use this voucher, you will need to accept these conditions in full, as well as the General and Special Terms and Conditions applicable to the services ordered. These terms and conditions can be viewed here. By way of exception, the amounts issued from this voucher do not form part of the base monthly fee for services used as part of service level agreements (SLAs) and associated penalties — i.e. if the voucher holder consumes an amount less than or equal to the voucher for a given month, no penalty will be paid for a breach of an SLA in the course of the service, while if the voucher holder consumes a higher amount, only the amounts paid above the voucher value will be taken into account in calculating penalties. The voucher is non-exchangeable, non-refundable, and non-redeemable, even partially. It may not be given away, sold or transferred in any capacity whatsoever to a third party, either free of charge or for a fee (it may not be transferred between separate legal entities of the same group of companies). The voucher can only be used for one Public Cloud project, but can be used in one or more instalments on the project, and can be used in conjunction with another payment method if required, until the balance is used up or the voucher’s validity period ends. To use this voucher, the holder must have a valid payment method saved in their OVHcloud account. Once the voucher has been activated in the holder’s customer account, it is valid for a period of one (1) month, and is automatically deducted from the bills linked to the Public Cloud project for which the voucher has been activated. The voucher is not replaceable in the event of loss, theft, destruction, end of validity or fraudulent use. Furthermore, in the event of non-compliance with these conditions or of fraudulent use (including one person using multiple vouchers), OVHcloud reserves the right to terminate the subscribed services using the vouchers, and/or cancel the vouchers, and the holder will in all cases be liable to pay the full amounts to OVHcloud for the services used, including the voucher amount, without prejudice to any compensation that OVHcloud may claim. Within the limits of what is authorised by the laws in force, OVHcloud’s responsibility for this special offer is limited to the voucher amount. The vouchers will be created and delivered by the OVH Groupe SA Affiliate companies (537 407 926 RCS Lille Métropole, 2 rue Kellermann, 59100 Roubaix, France), depending on which OVHcloud Groupe company the holder orders the Public Cloud service from using the voucher (this entity is named here as “OVHcloud”). For the purposes of these conditions, “Affiliates” are any company controlled by OVH Groupe SA, that controls OVH Groupe SA, or with which OVH Groupe SA is jointly controlled by a third party. The concept of control is understood in Article L233-3 of the French Commercial Code, control may be direct or indirect. Furthermore, the “OVHcloud Groupe” is defined as OVH Groupe SA and all its Affiliates. French law applies to these conditions, and any dispute that is not resolved through an amicable solution will be subject to the jurisdiction of the French courts.

Your questions answered

Which web hosting plan should I opt for?

To select the best web hosting plan for your project, you will need to start off by identifying what your needs are. Consider the intended purpose for your shared hosting package. Are you simply looking to run a personal blog, publish your CV online, or create a simple showcase page for your activity? You will need significantly less resources than most other use cases. You can opt for a Personal web hosting plan from our offers, coming this Black Friday. Otherwise, are you looking to run a small business on your shared hosting service? Would it be an e-commerce store, and would you want to run multisites on your cloud hosting platform? This requires more storage space, higher bandwidth, and more built-in features. Professional and Performance Web Hosting plans are the best special offers in our Black Friday hosting plans. We also offer free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates with all our web hosting plans, along with a range of CMS tools to install as 1-click modules. Get your project off the ground with our Black Friday shared hosting package sales.

Which dedicated server should I choose?

Selecting the best bare-metal server for your needs will involve defining the nature of your project, and how you intend to use your solution. You can prioritise certain types of resources. Developing video games, for example, requires significant GPU resources. Note that a server that is part of a critical infrastructure requires consistent availability and bandwidth, as well as the highest level of redundancy. If you’re looking to get started with a versatile all-rounder that suits most uses, look out for our Rise server models when you browse our Black Friday dedicated server deals. If a high degree of scalability is what you need, our Scale range will be the one to browse in our Black Friday dedicated server sales. Finally, if you’re looking to minimise your spending but need dedicated resources, look out for our Black Friday Eco dedicated server deals.

How do I choose between a VPS and a Web Hosting plan?

The fundamental difference between a dedicated server and a VPS lies in the provision of power — i.e., dedicated resources versus guaranteed resources. With dedicated servers, the entire physical machine is allocated to you as its sole user. This means that on top of root access, you can use all the server’s GPU or CPU power, RAM, and storage space, for example.

With a VPS, however, the physical server’s resources are partitioned and allocated to multiple users via a virtualisation layer. Please note that only physical resources are shared. This way, every customer’s data is isolated.

In simple terms, a virtual private server is like having a flat in an apartment block, whereas a dedicated server is like having an entire house to yourself.

Both solutions have their own suitable uses. A VPS service is perfect for people who do not need the high volume of resources offered by a dedicated server but seek the flexibility of root access. Plus, a VPS available during Black Friday is highly scalable. This way, you can upgrade your resources as your project grows, and only pay for what your project uses. A dedicated server is the next step up for when projects are more fully-fledged and resource intensive.

Now is the best time to assess your project’s needs, and get a VPS or a dedicated server during our Black Friday sales.

Which should I choose, between a VPS and a web hosting plan?

Fundamentally, the best choice for you will depend on your level of technical knowledge, and the way in which you intend to use your cloud service.

Shared hosting services are managed products. They provide access to the essential elements required to put a website online, and make it work properly. Hardware resources are shared between users of the same server. therefore they are not guaranteed. Users do not have to worry about hardware maintenance or configuration, and they are not the root user of their solution.

Shared hosting packages also come with a domain name and a free SSL certificate. You can opt for a content management system (CMS) and install in one click using WordPress, Drupal or Joomla!. In short, their target user is either someone who wants to create an online presence with minimal technical knowledge, or someone who wants to get started without the hassle of technical administration and would make use of a one click website builder. Their target use cases involve smaller-scale websites that aren’t resource intensive — i.e., personal blogs and websites, small businesses and showcase websites.

A VPS is the next step up. You will need more technical knowledge to manage it. With VPS hosting, you also get allocated guaranteed resources, which you can upgrade as your project grows. A virtual server offers a much greater degree of freedom, flexibility, and scalability. You can also partition your server and choose between Windows and Linux operating systems. However, a higher degree of technical knowledge is required since you are the server administrator. You are free to install your own choice of software, configure your machine as you see fit, and choose your access (root, php.ini, etc.). OVHcloud VPS solutions are highly versatile and scalable. This makes them suitable for a wide variety of uses, from enterprise hosting to game servers, but they do not include additional services such as SSL certificates, domain names, or CMS tools. Define your needs precisely. Grab a web hosting plan during Black Friday to get your online business off to flying start, at a reduced price and with minimum hassle.
