I am beyond furious right now. I created 2 OVH accounts a while back. I literally NEVER used them. No resources added, no projects created, nothing. Zero usage. I decided to just close them to keep things clean, but guess what? You CANNOT close your account on OVH. Apparently, OVH automatically assigned random services/projects to my unused accounts (like vRacks and Public Cloud projects) without notifying me, and now their broken system blocks account deletion because of “active services.” I’ve been stuck in support ticket hell for OVER TWO WEEKS trying to get these accounts wiped under GDPR. Here is the circus I’ve been dealing with: Canceling a basic service takes 7 DAYS?? Support told me a vRack service had to be canceled first and that it takes a full week just to delete. What year is this?! Their UI is completely broken. The GDPR deletion page threw errors, and the system kept telling me to manual-delete things that I couldn’t even delete through their manager interface. Their support agents give conflicting advice. One tells me to click links to delete Public Cloud projects, another says they’ll delete it manually, another tells me to wait a couple of weeks for a “specialized team” to step in. THE ULTIMATE JOKE: Today I finally get an automated message saying: “Unfortunately, despite our efforts, we are unable to delete your account at this time. It looks like some actions are still in progress and blocking its deletion…” ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The actual owners and developers of the platform cannot delete an unused account from their OWN system due to “technical issues”?! They literally built the system and claim they are powerless to delete user data! They clearly don’t give a damn about GDPR or basic customer support. I have deleted every possible service, settled $0 invoices, answered every ticket, and I am still stuck in a loop of copy-pasted support templates and automated rejection emails. Has anyone actually managed to force OVH to close an account, or do I need to go straight to a Data Protection Authority (DPA) complaint at this point? submitted by /u/_WhiteAngel_ [link] [comments]

I’m planning to switch web hosting providers after a bad experience with Hostinger. My site gets about 20,000–30,000 visitors a month; the use case is fairly standard – selling digital goods, nothing overly complex. The main issues I want to avoid this time around are: Downtime – there was more of it than I expected for a paid plan. Security – at one point, the site was infected with cryptocurrency mining malware, and the cleanup process turned into a total nightmare. Budget isn’t the deciding factor: I’d rather pay more for a reliable, secure service than save $10 a month only to deal with the aftermath of a hack again. Which web hosting providers have a good track record for this level of traffic and these types of issues? submitted by /u/thmaco14 [link] [comments]
