it's for resellers %. in UK we will pay more resellers
that in france. the resellers don't work in france. the
french don't want the money. the money is shame. but I
think it will work in UK. and you will get lot of money.

we are working on contrat right now. it's not easy since
we want to propose lot of new things.
but why should normal customers have to pay extra when they have no intrest in reselling
shouldnt resellers pay for the privledge of resellers not the rest of customers that dont want to be a reseller??

The resellers described will be server resellers, but this is not available yet.

I've thought about this before. It's annoying that we constantly get ripped off by pretty much everyone.

It should be made possible to buy from France, however, do not expect an english interface, or an english anything.

OR, stay in the UK, pay for a more expensive server, but enjoy your cheaper beer

Each website is for each country, it's all one company but you cannot order from the french website if you live in the UK.

Can you not let us individuals buy direct from you in France please. I would prefer to pay French prices, French tax and get my server for a lesser price. I rent servers from the US and pay $ and US taxes with no problems.

Just a question.

Thank you.

I actually agree, I can't even figure out how to use the damn points, its not obvious enough. Also its stupid that you can't pay with points and money, you have to pay fully in points or not at all.

Stop these games OVH and make things fair. Bad economy or not you are ripping us off compared to the FR users and other countries using Euro's alike.

At the current exchange rate of 1 GBP = 1.24438 EUR, €333.00 = £267.604. In other words, we're paying £65 more, or 20% extra then our European friends for the same service.

Surely you can concede that this is not fair. Can't you adjust your prices for the UK currency?
I agree 100% the points do not make up for it
