Which is larger? Amazon or OVH?
@jcaleb ... I am talking about copy of photo id and "utility bill" requirements if I understand OVH requirements correctly
@geekalot i was just thinking that I am also afraid of sharing sensitive info. The only website I placed my CC are amazon and paypal as far as i can remember. Thats why I ask if OVH is as big as Amazon

That link was updated in April, so it is still pretty relevant. To answer your question, of the hosts in this industry that publish their numbers, OVH is the largest in the world.
Thanks
@jcaleb If you must place a CC on file with a vendor, consider using one-time use/multiple use "virtual" CC #'s (availability depends on your bank and your country, etc).
You can set the limit, expiration date, and only one vendor can use it once it has been "swiped" the first time. And your actual card # remains protected/private.
Sorry OP, don't mean to derail your thread
Thank you @geekalot
CC is sensitive info, Photo ID is not. And OVH does not require you to give them your CC, simply pay via Paypal. Besides, I sent them my driver's license which afaik unlike a passport is not even a legally recognized ID in my country (or a very low grade one, may pass for misc. uses but not for anything important).
Amazon's AWS is puny stuff in compared to the big guys.

VPS nodes are front ends, traffic hits those, not real server.
Nginx + caching static elements on the VPS'es.
Nginx proxies real backends. A-B real servers. Distributed file system for source and static files (millions of files). Do use regularly scheduled 2 minute interval rsync job as well to sync to secondary file storage that does autorotating of backups.
MySQL has two installed instances. One is live, one just in case, both are in different locations. The just in case has regular database dumps and cron jobs that does rebuilds and imports. We do this just in case anything stupid ever were to happen. Don't care to replicate a table drop now do we?
I don't touch MySQL replication.
Yesterday i saw 1 hour setup, now it's 24 hours... anyway, doesn't matter that i need to wait coz it's soo cheap
and
Are you guys serious?
Seems like 1 hour setup is just a lie :P
Waiting for 23 hours now ^^...
Just got it haha
It has a nice dual core in it: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU 330 @ 1.60GHz
you will not get any support with OVH, even if you pay for OVH server.
Some orders processed instantly, for some you need to wait 24 - 72 hours.
Darent to put my backup on a NO-RAID server.I would head for a buyvm storage plan.
@DannyAlex put it on two different servers, it will be safer than on a RAID on one server this way.
is the 5TB traffic unlimited at 100mbit? or you get capped down to 10mbit once you reach the traffic quota?
@cosmicgate Yeah. The first 5TB is at 100Mbps. Everything after that is 10Mbps.
It will certainly be safer,while it increase the cost.
