OVHcloud vs SiteGround

Protection anti-DDoS et vaste capacité réseau

Chaque service OVHcloud inclut mitigation anti-DDoS illimitée, filtrant attaques couches 3, 4 et 7 sans frais downtime. Réseau global dépasse 100 Tbit/s, assurant faible latence et haut débit. Pas de frais trafic sortant, contrairement certains rivaux, aidant contrôler coûts apps gourmandes données comme streaming ou sauvegardes.

Durabilité avec PUE bas et réutilisation ressources

OVHcloud rapporte PUE 1,28 sur installations, battant moyennes industrie. Utilise 7 fois moins d'eau que pairs et tourne sources énergie 100 % bas carbone. Serveurs réaffectés usages secondaires avant recyclage, ciblant zéro déchet décharge 2025. Approche réduit coûts opérationnels répercutés clients.

Cloud public OpenStack et réversibilité

Construit OpenStack, cloud public supporte tarification pay-as-you-go avec accès API automatisation. Options cloud privé évitent lock-in via outils export données et formats standard. Clients gardent contrôle total, pas de data mining pour pubs. Fonctionnalités comme réseau privé vRack connectent services fluidement entre régions.

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.
