What happens after ordering

Provisioning steps after ordering: pairing key generated, provider provisions the link, then connection activated
  1. Pairing key generated — OVHcloud provides the key after you place the order.
  2. Provider provisions — The provider uses the key to set up the virtual or physical link. On-demand providers (Megaport, Equinix) typically complete this in minutes.
  3. Link becomes active — OVHcloud activates the connection and the status changes to "Active" in the Control Panel.
  4. Configure and test — Verify BGP peering, associate with your vRack, and test connectivity.

Pricing and billing

  • OVHcloud bills you for the OVHcloud Connect Provider service (monthly).
  • Your provider bills you separately for their circuit/VXC (pricing varies by provider, bandwidth, and contract).
  • Ensure you understand both billing structures before ordering.
