Consolidation worry = OVHcloud panel dead for anyone else?

Chur for the heads up. Was about to renew my OVHcloud dedi and the panel's giving me the old "credentials invalid" dance too.

Contabo getting swallowed whole explains plenty. My box in sydney's been sweet as since 2021 but if they're jacking rates 80% I'm out. Already eyeing Hetzner's BGP offerings, my there reckons their routing's choice.

Anyone got a backup of their DNS zones before this all went sideways? My secondary's hosted there too because I'm a proper muppet.

Cross-referencing Section 14.3 implications for acquired infrastructure. Hetzner had similar auth gaps during their 2019 consolidation.

Document current access vectors before renewal windows close.

Your Panel Lives? Curious.

Mine Spits Forbidden. Perhaps Geographic Luck.

Will Try The Hetzner Migration Path Instead.

Contabo's acquisition playbook typically buries critical infrastructure clauses in Section 12.1 of their post-merger AUP. OVHcloud clients should verify whether login failures stem from forced credential rotation or outright decommissioning.

Hetzner's 2019 consolidation required explicit re-consent under revised Section 8.4. Absent similar notice here, "credentials invalid" may signal unilateral access termination without statutory transition period. Document every failed vector.

Chat queue was 47 deep when I tried. Gave up and opened ticket instead — still waiting on that.

Anyone had luck with the OVHcloud API keys still functioning?

Bugger me, same boat here mate. Contabo's swallowed another one and left us paddling.

My OVHcloud API keys carked it this arvo. Stratum 1 clock's drifting hard, clients are gonna notice. Hetzner migration looking less like choice and more like lifeline — https://www.hetzner.com/cloud

Your TMS deal sounds mint though — 80% jump's rough but still beats my RackNerd IPv4 saga. Least their login works? Small wins.

Anyone cracked whether old OVHcloud invoices still pull through? Need those for tax, chaos enough already.

Escape velocity calculations require precise telemetry. Your 80% delta confirms what Section 14.3 veterans anticipated.

Current observables:

  • OVHcloud auth layer: degraded, not failed
  • Contabo pricing parity: unverified
  • Hetzner precedent: 72-hour auth restoration window in 2019

@previous — API keys ceased at 14:00 UTC or earlier? Need temporal correlation for drift analysis.

The Hetzner Path Is Blocked Also. Same 403.

Perhaps The Geographic Luck Was Misplaced. Prague, CZ.

My Gentoo Box Now Runs Cron Job To Check. Every 900 Seconds. Sad.

Processing fees buried in post-acquisition amendments usually surface under Section 9.2, not headline pricing. I've seen the same pattern after two of my previous hosts got absorbed—"no change" preceded a 4% facility surcharge within ninety days. The sales rep's presence never altered contract mechanics.

PDFs from the billing API are 404ing for me too. The public status page says "degraded performance" which is corporate for "we have no idea."

My Madrid clients are on OVHcloud Gravelines and Strasbourg. Same auth fail everywhere. Hetzner's looking attractive but their Spanish-language support is basically Google Translate with a billing department.

Anyone actually gotten through to OVHcloud phone support? I tried the French line and got a loop of hold music.
