Introductie OVH op de Nederlandse markt niet ongezien gebleven...

Grootste Franse webhoster OVH stuntelt op de Nederlandse markt

Nederlandse webhosters hebben er concurrentie bijgekregen, nu de naar eigen zeggen grootste Franse hoster OVH de Nederlands markt heeft betreden. Uiteraard was ik benieuwd naar de plannen van OVH op de Nederlandse markt. Helaas was er bij OVH niemand bereikbaar voor commentaar. In het persbericht van OVH valt te lezen dat ter gelegenheid van de lokale Nederlands 500 bètatesters gratis een dedicated server mogen uitproberen. De bètatesters moeten OVH een beter inzicht geven in de gewoontes van Nederland, om zo het aanbod van de vestiging af te stemmen op de Nederlandse vraag en de zelfde kwaliteit te leveren als in andere landen waar OVH al actief is.

OVH heeft nog een lange weg te gaan met het zich aanpassen aan de Nederlandse markt, om te beginnen bij de Nederlandse website van het bedrijf. Dit lijkt letterlijk een met Google Translate vertaalde versie van hun Franse website. De hele Nederlandse website van OVH staat bol van de vreemde zinsconstructies en woorden, een paar voorbeelden: “De offerte VPS OVH zijn compatibel met alle de servers van de serie OVH. Om er van profiteren, u moet gewoon een dedicated server bestellen, en er installeren een OVH applicatie dedicated aan het virtualisatie.”, “De offerte adapteren zich aan de klanten in betrekking met hun profiel” of “Als u denkt dat uw initiële webhosting u niet genoeg Pops geeft, dan biet de MX plan u de mogelijkheid om u niet in te schrijven voor een superieure webhosting aanbod.”.

Als OVH niet eens de moeite neemt om een vertaler in te huren om haar website naar het Nederlands te vertalen, hoe serieus neemt OVH haar introductie op de Nederlandse markt dan? OVH dat geen zolderkamer webhoster is, maar in Frankrijk de marktleider, maakt het zich hier wat mij betreft onsterfelijk belachelijk mee. FAIL!

Ik vind de diensten van deze provider prima en ik heb geen enkel probleem gehad met de dedicated server die hier aangeboden wordt maar ik kan niet anders zeggen dan dat ik het eens ben met dit bericht. De site met google translate vertalen en vervolgens de mensen op het forum vragen om het maar te corrigeren is iets om je voor te schamen als professioneel bedrijf. De reacties op het bericht zijn ook niet mals te noemen.

Zeer jammer dat de matige eerste indruk van de site deze negatieve reclame veroorzaakt want verder is alles prima in orde.

Dat zijn andere hosting bedrijven die zich bedreigd voelen, laat die maar praten :)

Hoewel ik zelf dat vertaal gedeelte toch anders aangepakt had. Ga naar iemand die de taal beheerst en geef hem wat gratis servers en je bent klaar.

perfect ! I love it ! :)

It's nice to see that the people talk about Ovh. It's enought
for me: please talk about ovh. Tell how bad are we, how poor
is our service, but please talk about Ovh. I have said it 10
years ago when I created Ovh. I was alone in a small office.
Today we are 180/200 persons.

Hmm ... I'm just thinking: you don't talk well about the free
servers that we propose. It rests 120 servers !! Nobody else
want a dedicated server for free during 1 year ?? Talk about
Ovh, it's the best thing for you and us. We need more feedbacks,
more informations about what is wrong and what is good ...

Well 1st you need to hire a professional translator. (like the article stated) The Dutch on your webpage is far from acceptable. I will try a server out as well. Let's see how it works out.

The french people says the same about ovh.com ;) hahahah :)))
okey okey, we will try to make a better job in the futur.
Anyway, our customers want the servers that work. And we propose
it. The rest is the rest, thr marketing, etc ... :)

As for the translating... Isn't it a good idea to look for someone who studies french, but is native dutch or english? Those persons are the best translators you can get, especially if they're interested in technology.

With some luck they might even make near-perfect translations for free, as they are forced to do an internship ;)

Maybe you can create a somekind of feedback forum. I'm willing to point some errors out and I bet a lot of other customers know also some errors.

There already is a topic for the translations: http://forum.ovh.nl/showthread.php?t=9

That was the only complaint addressed in the article. I'm sure the fellow hosting companies are happy to see some extra competition in the country ;).

Indeed, you are 110% right, "bad-news" can also make people intrested :)

But, I am amazed by OVH her service! ;)

Keep on going!

I think the NL market will be very interesting. that is why we propose
500 servers for test. when we started PT 1 month ago, we proposed only
100. as DE, UK, IT, ES, PL, ...

anyway, Ovh is already n°1 in Europe with the dedicated server. we
host > 53000 dedicated servers and it grows. I think our service
are good for the good price. but your feedback is very important.
we have a direct link with lot of customers in all countries. it
allows us to propose the services that the custormers need. we
can do it, because we talk with the customers on the forums, the
ml and the support. lot of exchange. I hope with 500 serveurs we
will have enought customers to talk with and to make the service
better.

Hey Oles,

If u need an translator, u can ask me, i'll do the complete job if u want.
but then not just an server for one year, but for uhh... my life ? :)

your service is very good, i like it.
the only bad thing is that there are no _good_ free webhosting panels like directadmin.
do u know an good one?
or does ovh have an own one so people can get it to use and give it there own style?

Dutch people want good working software and they like it for free ;)
You just did an great job with this.

I hope you will become one of the greatest hosters in the netherlands also.
and if u ever need people to work for u near Zwolle, Almelo, or what else...
i think u can ask me for it, and also Jesper would be intrested in it i think ;)

I also hope we can help you out here in the netherlands as well in the future anywhere else.

And as i always say, Bad words about an good company is like free promotions :)

I hope to hear anything from you, or from your dutch supporters about whats your answer of everything i asked above ;)
If it's by mail, or by phone or on this forum... it doesnt realy matter me.
but it has to be english or dutch, i cant talk any france :p

Greets,
Mark

[Rub3n]

if you can't talk french, how do you wanna translate the website then?

[MWeulink]

There also is an english version of the website :)
so transranslating will be verry simple....


Or italian :p is there also...
