I actually had similar concerns, in my mind OVH was always one of the lesser regarded providers with cheap hardware and attracted not-so-nice customers judging by the amount of spam I used to get from their network.
I ended up moving my personal projects to OVH as a trial (and due to some some gross incompetence by Singlehop). After a few months of everything looking great, I moved our company's production services and couldn't be happier. I now consider them one of my tier one options when looking for hosting options. The hardware on the higher end models is all enterprise grade - Xeon, ECC, enterprise SSD / NVME drives, etc. You also get full IPMI access with virtual media, so setting up full disk encryption etc is a breeze. Network has been very reliable, their DDoS protection in particular is almost magical - I barely even see the malicious traffic before their network filters it. I only have a handful of servers, but none of them have experienced any hardware or major network issues. Currently have servers in their Vint Hill, Beauharnois and Roubaix datacenters and it all seems to be equally reliable.
The value-add features like FTP backup space haven't been great, speed / reliability problems but I don't care too much for it anyway, I ended up using Hetzner for backup storage as they have a ridiculously good $/GB ratio. I can't speak much for OVH support as I've rarely had to contact them, the few times I did they resolved the problem satisfactorily. With IPMI access and being an unmanaged service, you're probably on your own for anything software related.
Awesome, thanks so much for the info. Glad to hear it's a viable option since the hardware prices always seemed great and the unlimited bandwidth would be key for certain applications too.
