What are the advantages of French hosting?

France offers the best price-to-performance ratio in Western Europe thanks to OVHcloud's large-scale infrastructure. Strong GDPR compliance via CNIL (Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés), excellent connectivity to all of Europe, and competitive energy costs make it ideal for budget-conscious deployments without sacrificing quality.

What is the latency from France to neighboring countries?

From Paris: 10-12ms to UK, Germany, Belgium, and Netherlands. 15-20ms to Spain and Italy. 12-15ms to Switzerland. 70-80ms to US East Coast. Marseille offers even better connectivity to North Africa (20-30ms) and the Middle East (50-60ms).

Paris vs Marseille — which location should I choose?

Paris is the best choice for serving European and North American audiences with excellent peering via France-IX. Marseille is strategically positioned as Europe's southern gateway, with 14+ submarine cable landing points connecting to Africa, Middle East, and Asia. Choose Marseille if your audience is in these regions.

Why are French servers cheaper than German or Dutch ones?

France benefits from OVHcloud's vertically integrated infrastructure — they build their own servers and data centers, passing savings to customers. Combined with lower energy costs and favorable tax incentives for data centers, France consistently offers the most competitive pricing in Western Europe.

Is French hosting suitable for international businesses?

Absolutely. France offers GDPR-compliant hosting with oversight by CNIL, one of Europe's most active data protection authorities. Paris provides excellent latency across all of Europe, while Marseille serves as a bridge to Africa and the Middle East. Most providers offer English-language support.
