Nuremberg. I can tell you from experience: support tickets asking "is this real hardware" get escalated to sales, who send the brochure. The loop is intentional.

OVH Gravelines, oh no. I used to process tickets there. The fire was before my time but the reputation never left. Frankfurt to Gravelines is fine though, I'll admit. Just don't expect support to answer in under 48 hours.

Business travel taught me that front desk staff rarely know their own property's network topology. Most properties contract to a third-party ISP and have escalation paths they never use. Here's what works:

Hi Wilma, thanks for reaching out — and absolutely not a silly question. We see this a lot with small business owners who got tossed onto a random host by a well-meaning relative.

A few things to check on whatever you choose:

I'd rather not name them publicly while I'm still disputing the invoice. Small European registrar, not one of the big five. The kind that resells OpenSRS or Key-Systems and adds their own "value-add" layer on top.
