Ordering process in OVHcloud
First order
As a new OVHcloud customer, you need to create a nic handle (Customer ID) by filling in the form available via the link:
New customer.
This identfiant client (nic handle), allows you to log in to your OVH account and place orders, so make sure the information you enter is correct. Your postal and email addresses must be kept updated. They are our only means of contacting you.
If you need to change them, log in to the Control Panel, click information then on update in the left-hand menu.
Activation time
As soon as OVHcloud has received your payment, your purchase order will be validated and your order will be immediately processed. You will then receive an email confirming receipt of payment.
