this sucks, best of luck to them
i wonder how this will affect ovh's reputation and as a result potentially change the distribution of hosting loads among existing hosts 🤔
Not that OVH's reputation was much higher to begin with.
They had another fire in a different datacenter in Germany I believe, going back about 3 years, in which the business I was working for had lost only emails but was also renting a dedicated server with them in a different datacenter.
Looking at how they handled the situation (slow response times, not offering us space in a different datacenter to at least keep receiving emails), plus after constantly experiencing IO slowdowns in their "Performance" web hosting pack (in 2 out of 3 different hosting packs), our business (and me too, personally) changed providers in the coming months for basically everything.
I suppose that was the right choice.
The only thing I didn't care to switch was DNS, but this last event makes me think whether I should also switch DNS providers.
Edit: I just realized that this post is NOT today years old but was actually the event that I had experienced.
Whatever... I guess I'm gonna leave my experience over here anyways.
