OVHcloud begins journey to go public with potential IPO

Image Description

French cloud computing and web hosting company OVHcloud has chosen to list the company on Euronext’s Paris stock exchange, according to Reuters.

Founded in 1999 by Octave Klaba, the company has remained a private company throughout the years.

An earlier report by JDD unveiled that once the Initial Public Offering (IPO) is announced, OVHcloud could be valued at several billion euros. 

TechRadar Pro reached out to OVHcloud to confirm the news, but the cloud company is yet to respond.

In terms of market capitalization, OVHcloud could sit anywhere near GoDaddy, who were valued at around $4.5 billion and 1&1 Ionos, who were valued at $8 billion.

OVHcloud goes public 

In September 2020, OVHcloud’s IPO was revealed with the company planning to make an official announcement at the start of 2021. 

However, the company faced a setback when a fire broke out at its Strasbourg data centre campus in March 2021.

In the same month, OVHcloud had picked three banks to manage its flotation on the French stock market, according to reports.

OVHcloud has not provided the names of its advisers for the IPO, nor have they disclosed official financial figures.

A source told Reuters that Klaba and his family would retain a majority of the company's shares.

Elsewhere, in April this year, OVHcloud announced the availability of two new ranges of bare metal servers

Designed in partnership with multiple hardware manufacturers, OVHcloud Scale and High-Grade servers offer hosting solutions with the ability to automate and scale resource allocation to meet the demands of complex and resource-intensive tasks.

  • Instagram rolls out link stickers for everyone in Stories - here's how to use it

    Instagram has announced that Link Stickers are rolling out to everyone on the Stories feature. Previously available for businesses and influencers, now anyone can create a story and attach a web link, making it much easier for anyone to find their favourite product or brand.

    Instagram Stories enable a user to create a quick snapshot of what they may have seen on their travels, and this Story can last in 24 hours, where it expires. Similar to Snapchat Stories, the feature has been quickly picked up by Instagram users since its debut in 2016.

    With link stickers now rolling out to everyone, it's something that creators can use to provide access to external content, sellers can use to link to goods for sale, and anyone can use to provide a link to a site that that provides additional information or context for their Story.

    Linky linky

    Stickers have long played an important role in numerous messaging apps and social networking platforms, and Instagram is no different in this regard. For the most part, stickers are simply amusing aesthetic additions to an image, but they can also be useful.

    In addition to cartoon-style stickers, users have been able to add location, question and poll stickers to their stories for a while.

    If this sounds a little familiar, it's because link sharing is not a completely new feature. Previously, however, the option to share links via "swipe-up" in Stories was only available to a limited number of people – specifically verified users and those with a certain follower count.

    With the feature now available, you might well be wondering how to use it. In short, it is very simple, and very much the same process as adding other special stickers to your Stories.

    1. Fire up the Instagram app on your device
    2. Start a new Story and capture whatever content you want to include
    3. Tap the Sticker icon at the top of the screen
    4. Tap the Link sticker
    5. Enter the address you would like to link to and tap Done
    6. Reposition, recolor and customize the sticker in whatever you want
    7. Post your Story

    Analysis: wider availability is welcome

    It's good to see that Instagram has seen sense and decided to make this handy option available to everyone. While there is something to be said for limiting certain features to particularly popular or prominent users, any inequality in feature sets create a two-tier userbase.

    The very idea behind social networking platform is to bring people together and by giving everyone access to the same tools, Instagram is helping to level the playing field a little. And as an added bonus, Link Stickers are really quite handy things to have!
