OneProvider was never good.
According to Google, with context for France, it could either be "Plan de reprise d'activité" which I think means disaster recovery, though I'm not aware of any issues Online's faced recently? It could also mean product reliability analysis, though once again I don't know if that's relevant to Online.
Believe or not but that happens in most retailers.
Yeah - a major retailer in the UK got caught out for this a little while back - Currys/PC World were found guilty of ratcheting up prices before major sale dates, so they could say they were at the higher price for the mandated amount of time and then 'discounting' them. They just got a slap on the wrist and went back to it.
You can see why I'm not a fan of Dixons
Amazon do this too - always check Camelcamelcamel
That's correct, PRA means disaster recovery. Basically, all of Online's stock has been ordered by those who were affected by OVH's Roubaix and Strasbourg crapping out a couple of weeks ago and who sought to build a DR environment in the same region.
Ah right - that makes a lot of sense. thanks! I didn't put 2 and 2 together about the recent OVH failure and Online operating in the same sector
Fuck you OVH....
I think someone large rolled out of some other data center in online.net.
Gee, I wonder which One Vexed their Hosting...
They do not have a convenient method of payment for servers. One account for all servers is not convenient for resale, and for themselves too. It's in the head constantly need to keep on what cards what amounts and so on. Ask customers whether they will extend the servers so that there is no such that the people are late payment, and the server is already deleted. Or vice versa, you have extended at your own expense, but the people have not paid and disappeared.
With this kind of work, the hoster that sells the servers of this data center must be a collector from the bank.
For example, that the server was ordered on the 22nd day, and the refusal can be made up to 20 to not get on the money. It's even worse than in Hetzner.
If they had made a payment method like OVH same under the link and for any period, then they would have had an army of resellers with the CIS.
I always wondered did you try becoming an official OVH Reseller?

Seems they support special type of accounts for large-scale ordering and resale.
It appears there are even some wholesale discounts.
They just tweeted this:

yep or though there "deals" are about 1e cheeper then last night on some servers some are the same, they just put up the base price.
I'll be dropping my i3 I have with OneProvider. It served its purpose. Time to move on.
