IONOS Hosting vs. OVH Dedicated Servers

I run five websites off of 1&1 for different outshoots of the company. For our web needs it works perfectly. We have a midgrade hosting package and it works perfectly. I know if issues arose from traffic or storage space 1&1 would have a solution for us.

I think the only reason not to look at OVH Dedicated Servers is if you need something with higher resilience. It's important to remember that these are a single physical server and thus have the same risks of outage as if you deploy a single physical server anywhere else. Most VPS solutions (whether OVH or elsewhere) have all the failover and HA abstracted from you and so offer less administrative overhead. However in terms of the amount of compute, storage and RAM you can get for your dollar, you can't beat the value proposition of OVH, and coupled with that they will repair the hardware if it fails, your task is simply to ensure you've take appropriate backup steps, and understand your RTO and RPO and architect accordingly. If you can withstand a period of downtime, then a single dedicated server will go a long way!

• Private registration: 1&1 offers free private registration which makes them an automatic favorite.
• Reliable customer service: always someone available when I call in and I have never had my issue not get resolved.
• Easy to use dashboard: domains in one place with DNS settings and other things that can be tweaked. It's easy to add an SSL certificate to domains as well.

• From my experience, customer services does not know how to address issues in an understandable language
• I feel that they arbitrarily overcharge w/o any explanation
• In my opinion it is really pricey

• Security options are pretty basic, we must use SOAR software alongside to secure the servers.

Everything has been thought of - from the initial password secure portal, through to day to day management, you can do everything from the console easily. Remote KVM is on hand for those awful moments (if you have them - and we all have) where the server won't boot for some reason

The email system has not impeded out mail flow in any way, and we do not notice the delays we sometimes see with other systems that include spam/junk mail filtering.

Rackspace I find to be too pricey for the service they offer. Pagely is very much WordPress oriented. I've had downtime with both that I haven't experienced with 1&1.

OVH Dedicated Servers are a different product so a direct comparison is difficult. In simple terms, both provide compute, memory and storage. However the EC2 instances offer significantly more in the way of resiliency in the event of a single hardware failure. However this comes at a price, and there is no way you could get 18TB of RAID5 style storage on HDD from a Public Cloud provider for the price of an OVH Dedicated Server

The scalability of the email solution far exceeds our needs and would be suitable for organizations not looking for an enterprise sized multipurpose solution (O365, Google Workspace, etc).
