Hello,
This increase of + of 100% is scandalous, nothing justifies it except the lure of easy profit!!!
Hello @^FabL ,
I’m happy to try to stay positive, but I remain on guard.
The announcement of the increase references a blog post about support improvements:
https://blog.ovhcloud.com/fr-webhosting-2026/#support
Even though the 100% increase is right around the corner, the blog article is full of lofty wishes… all phrased in the future tense, and, above all, without a due date, so I have to interpret all this conditionally.
So we would have the possibility to request assistance (≠ incident ticket) and also get a 24/7 response? That’s a revolution for your not‑so‑tech‑savvy target audience.
Here are some excerpts.
> you expect clear answers and a quick resolution. We have taken these expectations into account and are strengthening our support to make it more accessible, more responsive and more relevant when you need to be assisted.

> We are adopting a more proactive support approach, which not only resolves incidents but also aims to advise you and help move your projects forward.

> Dedicated offers for partners and agencies (coming soon)

Wouldn’t it have been logical to demonstrate the reality of these announcements before massively raising prices?
Are you putting the cart before the horse?
Well, the shareholders will be happy, that’s how we judge a company’s performance today. Sigh.
Hello @Driver, I completely understand your frustration. Facing an increase of this magnitude is a delicate situation, and your reaction is perfectly understandable. I am sincerely sorry for the impact this development will have on your activity.

Hello @FabL
That's correct. However, you need to perform the operation using this link: https://www.ovh.com/fr/cgi-bin/order/renew.cgi (before June 1st)
Renewal dates:
- Domain: Dec 12, 2031 (Since 2003)
- Hosting: Feb 2029 (Since 2003)
https://www.ovh.com/fr/cgi-bin/order/renew.cgi
Block: One of your domains has reached the maximum allowed renewal (e.g., 10 years for a .com)
Curious: I've had this domain since 2003 (23 years). Why am I blocked?

In my opinion it’s not finished :(
Hello,
Is it possible to migrate to the Starter offer if my personal hosting is less than 1 GB?
I read there that it's impossible: Peut-on migrer de l'offre perso vers starter ? - #2 par janus57_1
But I'd like to have a confirmation.
Do I need to close my account, open a new one, transfer the domain name to perform the migration?
Hello draed,
I recently signed up for a Starter plan (around €14, I think), but quickly upgraded to Perso for about €30 extra.
Then I back‑tracked and cancelled the Perso upgrade… and now I can’t reactivate the Starter. Logically, you’d expect it to be automatic, but apparently OVH didn’t foresee this scenario. So I had to get a refund for the Starter that was broken.
Anyway, even though your situation is a bit different from mine, if I were you I wouldn’t count on being able to easily migrate from a Perso plan back to Starter.
No need to close your account.
It would be possible to purchase a starter hosting plan without a domain name, then attach the current domain to that hosting. (Max 1 domain per starter hosting)
It requires a bit of technical work: copy the contents of the database and FTP to duplicate them on the new hosting, update the passwords (if the site is installed on a CMS). OVH does not make the task easy (I suppose it’s not financially interesting for them).
Thank you very much for your answers, I will try to do as @SophiaZ1 indicates.
Hello everyone,
Has anyone managed to renew their contract at the current rate? I tried today (yet well before 01/06) and the rates applied are already the new rates ...
I did renew my personal hosting contracts about fifteen days ago at the old rates.
I opened a support ticket on Sunday 31/05, specifying the bug with the pricing, and I received a reply the next day telling me to renew and that I would be refunded the difference.
I did what was necessary, but the response is already turning sour, indicating that I renewed after 01/06…!
