Hmm. This is what annoys me about forums. Of course OVH have probably 
rented thousands of servers without issue, then one guy (posting with 
the benefit anonymity of course, and also doing something a bit weird 
like partitioning an already cheap, cheap, cheap server using VMware 
etc..) ruins their rep!

Then a big conspiracy theory, they are really French, based in (gosh) 
France! This you could find out by poking around the web site in a few 
minutes. Even worse the French support guy speaks with a French accent 
(horror!).

All this grief is over a server costing less than £60 a month!

The guys renting the server, probably wanted a bit more of a 
"intelligent hands on" host, or even their own colo server in a data 
rack they could access directly (in the UK). Not suprisingly this all 
costs more.

Little tip when you read a review like this. Look up the profile of the 
guy complaining. Also take a look at his sig (if he has one) Many just 
register on these forums for one off "rants" and of course OVH can't 
answer back.

In this case this guy has had issue's with GoDaddy (can't figure out 
their control panel) to H-Sphere (unable to buy a licence).
