OVH

In October 2016, it was reported that OVH raised $250 million in order to raise further international expansion.[10] This funding round valued OVH at over US$1 billion. In the fiscal year of 2016, OVH reportedly had €320 million in revenue. In 2018 OVH announced its five-year plans to triple investment starting in 2021. Which represent between 4.6 and $8.1 billion U.S. dollars (4 to 7 billion euros).[11]

As of 2018, OVH has 27 data centers in 19 countries hosting 300,000 servers.[12] The company offers localized services such as customer service offices in many European countries, as well as in North America, Africa, and Singapore.[13] As of 2019, OVH is considered one of the largest cloud computing providers in the world, with over a million customers and one of the largest OpenStack deployments in the world.[14]

OVH is known for its offering of email hosting service,[15] considered one of the largest in the world,[16] in addition to its general Internet hosting services.

OVH is one of the sponsors for Let's Encrypt, a free TLS encryption service,[17][18] and OVH's hardware supplier is Super Micro Computer Inc.[19]

In December 2010, French Gizmodo edition revealed that WikiLeaks selected OVH as its new hosting provider, following Amazon's refusal to host it.[20][21][22] On December 3, the growing controversy prompted Eric Besson, France's Industry Minister, to inquire about legal ways to prohibit this hosting in France. The attempt failed. On December 6, 2010, a judge ruled that there was no need for OVH to cease hosting WikiLeaks.[23] The case was rejected on the grounds that such a case required an adversarial hearing.[24]

In January 2019, the magazine WebsitePlanet uncovered client-side vulnerability in some of the largest hosting companies in the world: Bluehost, DreamHost, HostGator, iPage and OVH.[25]

In late 2019 and early 2020, OVH was listed by The Spamhaus Project among the world's 10 worst Internet service providers for the proliferation of unsolicited bulk E-Mail (spam).[26]
