Have you ever checked your server bill and thought, “Why do I pay more than a person in another country for the same server?”. Many US OVH users are starting to ask this same question. They have found that OVH Canada frequently has the same servers for less money. Let’s dig into this.
• Lower Monthly Rate – It may only be a few dollars, but even a few dollars monthly adds up.
• Special Servers – Canada offers “Limited Edition” servers sometimes that the US does not have.
• Same Speed/Quality – The server is still solid and the support is still solid regardless of the location.
It’s similar to shopping out of the country online for a deal.
This may leave users wondering if OVH should be looking into offering a better service to U.S. customers to utilize Canadian plans and pricing – or if OVH simply intends to price and create plans in a way that is meant to be different.

The Billing Issue
