OVHcloud vs SiteGround

Protección anti-DDoS y vasta capacidad de red

Cada servicio OVHcloud incluye mitigación anti-DDoS ilimitada, limpiando ataques en capas 3, 4 y 7 sin tarifas por tiempo de inactividad. La red global supera 100 Tbit/s, garantizando baja latencia y alto rendimiento. No hay cargos por tráfico saliente, a diferencia de algunos rivales, lo que ayuda a controlar costes para apps intensivas en datos como streaming o copias de seguridad.

Sostenibilidad con PUE bajo y reutilización de recursos

OVHcloud reporta un power usage effectiveness (PUE) de 1,28 en sus instalaciones, superando promedios del sector. Usa 7 veces menos agua que competidores y funciona con fuentes de energía 100 % bajas en carbono. Los servidores se reutilizan para usos secundarios antes del reciclaje, apuntando a cero residuos en vertederos para 2025. Este enfoque reduce costes operativos trasladados a clientes.

Nube pública OpenStack y reversibilidad

Construida sobre OpenStack, la nube pública soporta precios pay-as-you-go con acceso API para automatización. Las opciones de nube privada evitan lock-in mediante herramientas de exportación de datos y formatos estándar. Los clientes retienen control total, sin minería de datos para anuncios. Funciones como vRack de red privada conectan servicios sin problemas entre regiones.

Customer-chosen Google Cloud data center

You pick a SiteGround location at signup and can relocate later from the Client Area (per site on shared plans, per plan on Cloud). Documented European data-center cities include Madrid, Eemshaven, Frankfurt, Paris, and London. US and APAC locations exist on the same map. The fleet runs on Google Cloud. This is not an EU-only host.

SuperCacher (NGINX, Dynamic Cache, Memcached)

SiteGround's own caching stack: NGINX Direct Delivery for static files, Dynamic Cache in RAM for generated pages, and Memcached for database and API objects. All clients manage it in Site Tools > Speed > Caching. It is a host-level accelerator, not a substitute for application-level cache plugins when you need custom rules.

Site Tools instead of cPanel

The company replaced cPanel with its in-house Site Tools panel for DNS, email, PHP, SSL, Git, backups, and caching. Useful if you want a single vendor UI. Poor fit if your runbooks assume WHM/cPanel, standard cPanel plugin hooks, or reseller WHM.

WordPress staging on mid-tier and Cloud plans

A one-click staging copy, edit, and push-to-live flow is documented for GrowBig, GoGeek, and Cloud. The company says it takes an automatic backup before a staging push. StartUp is not listed as including this tool. Pair with the SiteGround Security plugin if you want the vendor's WP hardening pack.

Daily backups with self-serve restore

Site Tools > Security > Backups lists automatic daily copies: up to 30 on shared plans, up to 7 on Cloud. Restores can be full or files/database only. Academy copy says shared backups are stored in a geographically separate location. Premium Backup is a paid add-on. Destination cloud for those copies is not published as a separate provider list.

Server-level WAF and AI anti-bot

The company describes a custom WAF with rules written by its security team for common CMS exploits, plus an AI anti-bot layer that it says blocks large volumes of brute-force traffic before it hits customer sites. These are vendor-operated controls, not a customer-auditable WAF appliance you can export rules from.
