Hosting in France
Why France as a server location
France is OVH and Scaleway territory: dedicated metal, ARM, Object Storage and cheap Dedibox, not just another AWS region.
If you want EU hardware without going to Hetzner Germany, Gravelines/Roubaix is the usual answer.
Cities and network

Who this location is for
- French-language sites
- Bare metal and Dedibox
- EU cloud with a non-US vendor
What to watch
- OVH support is ticket-heavy
- Not all ‘France’ SKUs include the same DDoS profile
