Providers using OVH question

Just a quick question.

If a VPS provider is renting dedicated servers from a large company, let's say OVH, what's the advantage of using this provider rather than getting a VPS from OVH directly?

    • OVH requires verification
    • the VPS may not fit the requirements
    • Cost
    • Support
    • Idlers like to have vps with different people.
    • Etc

    It's fun to store your data with someone that might not exist tomorrow!

    But seriously, price, payment methods and different hardware config (massive disk, 1Gbps) are the main advantages.

    A few differences:

    1.) Our VPS on OVH network use their Game mitigation, OVH VPS use their regular mitigation.
    2.) You can get better/different hardware. Example, OVH VPS nodes vary, some are E3-1231v3's, some are E5's, they are just different. Or if you need different storage options.
    3.) If you require faster support than what you can get directly, or need extended support.
    4.) You can't pass OVH ID verification like @pbgben said above.

    If a provider is renting from OVH, it's because they can't do any better.

    Avoid.

    This applies to nearly all the providers which avoid dealing with the datacenter/network stuff.

    I'll buy from a provider using OVH if they are offering something unique (as in doing something different then just putting up a site with a basic whmcs template that sells standard vpses). I use Lunanode's OVH locations because they offer a ton of different features (floating ips, snapshots, volume based storage, free dns and email, etc etc).
