Open question, folks:

Digital Ocean is getting too expensive to host my servers there. I'm pricing out options for #vps providers to move my stuff to.

I'm considering moving everything to OVH, after speccing out servers and computing monthly prices. However, before I start planning out the migration I wanted to ask if anybody out there used their services. What do you think of them? Do they suck? If so, how much?

If you use their hosted database service, is it a hosted database server (where you can stand up however many databases (groups of tables) you want, and how many users thereof) or is a hosted /database/ (i.e., a group of tables) only?

@drwho I've been using OVH for about 5 years now and I have a number of VPSs with them. the service is good and reliable, even when one of their datacentres burned down they were pretty transparent in communications, "your VPS was in one of the total loss zones", so we'll credit you so you can set up a new one.

never had an issue with support, or the service

@paul Good to know.

Do you know if it's possible to use their public cloud hosted database service with a couple of VPSes? How limited are they?

@drwho I've not used the database services I'm afraid, I just run pretty minimal and lean VPSs and put a database on those if I need one. sorry!
