OVHcloud scores higher on HostScore (83/100 vs 42/100), reflecting stronger trust signals, profile completeness, and review data. now.cn may still suit users who need its specific location (China) or specialization (pure host). HostScore is an objective algorithmic rating — it does not account for pricing, which can vary significantly between providers.
now.cn has no Google rating, and OVHcloud has 4.5★ on Google (54 reviews). Review volume matters as much as the star rating — a 4.5★ score from 50 reviews is less reliable than a 4.2★ score from 5,000. HostScore weights Google reviews by volume, so providers with more verified customer feedback score higher on the trust component. Check each provider's Trustpilot profile for a second independent signal before deciding.
