OVH is a giant hosting company in Europe, providing dedicated servers to quite a lot of companies. Half the internet here was borked. A translation service, a few developer tools, etc...
Sure, it's less dramatic than AWS going down, but it still hits, and hard.
The Canadian data center is also a very low cost way to serve the US. I'm an OVH fan. They have their quirks, but the pricing is great. You just make sure you compensate for their quirks with backups and DR plans.
My data is with me in Europe and the company that has my data is in Europe with me too. If I was using DO or AWS, then my data may be in Europe but the control over the data is in the US, free for all to the three letter agencies and lacking privacy laws there.
Opened up Age of Empires II....no connection. Go to website for game servers..."Our provider, OVH, is down...."
Go figure.
