Frequently asked questions
Where exactly is my data?
In OVHcloud’s data centre in Beauharnois, Quebec. OVHcloud is a French group; TSI, which runs the service, is a Canadian corporation. Each client has its own machine.
Does a US company have access to my files?
Neither the host nor the operator of your files is American. The only US provider in the chain is Stripe, for paying the self-serve subscription; it receives none of your files.
What if TSI disappears?
The whole stack is free software and our installer is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence: another provider, or your IT person, can take it over. Your backups are in an open format (restic), and your data leaves with you: a full export, at no charge.
Do I keep Outlook?
Yes for calendar and contacts, which work with Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Calendar (CalDAV and CardDAV). Email on your own domain is a separate service for now, outside the subscription; if you take it, it works with Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail (IMAP) too. On a phone, the device’s own apps are enough.
How long does the move take?
It depends on the volume. The migration estimator gives you a duration from the number of mailboxes and gigabytes. You keep working in the old system while the copy runs.
Who answers when I have a problem?
A person at TSI, in French or English. We usually answer within one business day.
