Where are OVH invoices located in the manager?

Inside the OVHcloud Control Panel, click your customer ID in the top-right and pick Bills (or Factures if your language is French). The direct path after login is /dedicated/billing/history on the manager subdomain for your region, typically manager.eu.ovhcloud.com for European subsidiaries and manager.us.ovhcloud.com for the US subsidiary. All product lines for that customer number are listed in one table.

Does OVH send invoices by email automatically?

Yes, each new invoice is emailed as a PDF to the billing contact on the account. You can add extra recipients under My contacts so your bookkeeper receives a copy without logging in. If your billing contact is a shared alias that nobody reads, fix that first, because a lot of missing OVH invoices are not actually missing. They just went to an unwatched inbox.

Why do I have separate invoices for my OVH dedicated server and my Public Cloud project?

OVH bills each product line on its own schedule. Dedicated servers, VPS, and domains are prepaid monthly or yearly in advance. Public Cloud is postpaid, billed at the end of the month based on metered consumption. Hosted Private Cloud runs on its own contract terms. If you mix these, you will get two to four separate invoices per month under the same customer number, each with its own PDF and its own number.

How do I add my EU VAT number to OVH invoices for reverse-charge?

Log in to the manager, open your account settings, and add your VAT ID in the company profile. Once OVH validates it through VIES (usually within a day), future invoices from any EU subsidiary outside your own country will be issued with reverse-charge (zero VAT, with the legal mention). Past invoices are not retroactively corrected, but OVH support can reissue very recent ones in the same tax year if needed.

Which OVH legal entity appears on my invoice?

OVH runs separate subsidiaries for each major country. OVH SAS (France) is the historical parent, with OVH GmbH (Germany), OVH Limited (UK), OVH Hispano (Spain), OVH Inc (United States), OVH Canada, and others. The subsidiary on your invoice depends on which OVH site you signed up through. This matters for tax residency, VAT treatment, and which payment terms apply. Keep each subsidiary filed separately in your accounting.

Can I download all my OVH invoices at once?

Not from the UI directly. The Bills page lets you filter by period and download PDFs one at a time. OVH does expose a public API (api.ovh.com) with billing endpoints, so a developer can script a bulk export using an OAuth consumer key. For finance teams without that option, connecting the OVH billing email forwarding to Inbox Ledger is usually faster than building the API script.

What is the difference between Kimsufi, SoYouStart, and OVH invoices?

Kimsufi and SoYouStart are sub-brands of OVH for low-cost and mid-range dedicated servers. Commercially they look separate, but the invoice is typically issued by the same OVH legal entity (OVH SAS or its local equivalent) with the sub-brand name referenced as the product. In your accounting, all three roll up to the same vendor, but the line items and the sub-brand name should match what you see in the manager.

Why did my OVH invoice number skip or restart?

OVH uses sequential numbering per subsidiary, not a single global sequence. If you switched from ordering through OVH France to ordering through OVH Germany, your invoice numbers restart on the German sequence. Similarly, OVH periodically resets sequences at the start of a fiscal year. Neither is a billing error, but it does mean your accounting software will see what looks like gaps unless you file by subsidiary.

Public Cloud shows a higher consumption than I expected. Where do I see the breakdown before the invoice?

Open the Public Cloud project, go to the Consumption tab, and you will see current-month usage by resource (instances, object storage, load balancers, outbound transfer). This view updates through the month, so you can catch a runaway resource before it lands on the invoice. The invoice itself only shows totals per service, so the Consumption view is the audit trail.

Can my bookkeeper access OVH billing without being able to reboot servers?

Yes. OVH has a role-based permissions model. Invite the bookkeeper as a contact with the Billing role (often labeled Admin of billing contact or Accounting) and they will see bills, orders, and payment methods but not the server management actions. Permissions are per subsidiary, so if you operate in France and Germany you need to repeat the invite on each side.

What happens to OVH invoices if I close my account?

Once the account is closed, access to the manager ends and with it your ability to download PDFs. OVH's retention policy keeps invoices in their own systems for the legally required period (typically 10 years in France), but retrieving them after closure goes through a support request and is not instant. Download and archive everything before you close anything. This applies per subsidiary, meaning closing OVH France does not affect OVH Germany and vice versa.

Does OVH support monthly and yearly prepaid billing?

Dedicated servers can be paid monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly, with discounts for longer commitments. VPS offers similar options. Public Cloud is always monthly postpaid on usage. Domains are yearly. Each cadence generates its own invoice on its own schedule, so a mixed setup (yearly dedicated server plus monthly Public Cloud plus yearly domains) produces a staggered invoice stream across the year, not a single clean monthly pile.

Step-by-step: download invoices from OVH

1
Sign in to the right OVHcloud Control Panel
OVH splits its control panel by region. Go to ovh.com and click Log in, then pick the subsidiary that matches your account (OVH France, OVH Germany, OVH UK, OVH Canada, OVH US, etc.). Each subsidiary runs its own billing entity, so your OVH France customer number does not work on the US site and vice versa. The manager URL redirects to the regional host (for example manager.eu.ovhcloud.com for Europe) once you log in.
2
Open the Billing section in the manager
In the top navigation, click your customer ID or account name in the top-right corner, then choose Bills (sometimes labeled Invoices or Factures depending on language). Direct path in the URL is /dedicated/billing/history after login. This is the same billing history whether you run a dedicated server, a Public Cloud project, a VPS, or a domain through OVH, and everything invoiced by that subsidiary appears here under one roof.
3
Filter by the product or date range you need
The bills table has filters for period, status (paid, unpaid, refunded), and product type. Dedicated servers and VPS are billed monthly in advance, Public Cloud is billed monthly in arrears based on metered usage, and Hosted Private Cloud has its own contract cadence. If you run several products you will see several invoices per month, each with its own number and PDF. Use the filter to avoid missing one.
4
Download the PDF and the VAT-compliant version if required
Click the download icon on the invoice row to get the PDF. For EU customers, OVH issues a legally compliant electronic invoice with sequential numbering, the OVH subsidiary as the seller, and your company details as the buyer. If you added a VAT ID and qualify for reverse-charge, the invoice shows zero VAT with the appropriate legal mention. For non-EU subsidiaries (OVH Inc in the US, OVH Canada), sales tax rules depend on your state or province of record.
5
Keep a copy outside the manager
OVH retains invoices in the manager for the lifetime of the account, but closed or migrated accounts lose access quickly. Download every month into your own archive, or forward the billing emails (OVH sends each new invoice to the billing contact by email) into Inbox Ledger so the PDFs land in your own storage automatically.

About OVH billing

OVH is the largest cloud provider in Europe and one of the oldest (the company has been renting servers since 1999). Its billing reflects that scale and that age: solid, formal, legally careful, and spread across a dozen subsidiaries that each run their own invoice sequence.

If you have ever opened the OVH manager and wondered why your French dedicated server invoice does not appear next to your German VPS invoice, the answer is that they are on different customer numbers under different legal entities, and OVH has no global view of you as a customer.

OVH has separate subsidiaries for each country (OVH SAS in France, OVH GmbH in Germany, OVH Limited in the UK, OVH Inc in the US, OVH Canada, OVH Hispano, and others). Each subsidiary is a separate billing entity with its own customer numbers, its own invoice sequence, and its own manager login. Multinationals with EU and North American entities typically end up with two or three parallel OVH accounts and two or three parallel invoice trails every month.

About OVH

OVH was founded in Roubaix, France in 1999 and is now headquartered there as a publicly listed company under the OVHcloud brand (the 2019 rebrand that is still in transition on some invoices and product pages). The group operates more than 30 data centers across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific, and sells dedicated servers, VPS, Public Cloud (OpenStack-based), Hosted Private Cloud (VMware), web hosting, and domains. Sub-brands Kimsufi (budget dedicated) and SoYouStart (mid-range dedicated) share the same infrastructure and billing backbone. OVH is the default European alternative to AWS for teams that want EU data residency and a price point closer to Hetzner or Scaleway than to the hyperscalers.

Why people stop doing this by hand

One OVH subsidiary, one dedicated server, one card: the manager is fine, and the monthly email does most of the work. The pain kicks in with multi-entity setups and multi-product accounts.

A European scale-up with a French entity on OVH SAS and a German entity on OVH GmbH, both running dedicated servers plus Public Cloud projects, closes the month with at least four to six OVH PDFs coming from two different legal entities at two different times. Domain renewals land on their own yearly rhythm and are small enough to vanish into the noise. Kimsufi and SoYouStart show as different product brands inside the same invoice. Finance teams that match vendor invoices to bank statements end up with reconciliation rows that do not line up until someone explains that dedicated is prepaid and Public Cloud is postpaid.

OVH's API does expose billing endpoints, so a developer can script exports, but the OAuth consumer key setup and the per-subsidiary looping put it out of reach of most finance teams. The practical route is the billing email: OVH emails every PDF to the billing contact, and forwarding that stream into Inbox Ledger captures every subsidiary in one place.

OVH does not yet have native Chrome Extension support in Inbox Ledger, but the email forwarding path works cleanly. Add a forwarding address in Inbox Ledger, point OVH's billing contact (or a redirect rule in your email provider) at it, and every new PDF from every OVH subsidiary is captured as soon as it is issued.

Next step

One subsidiary, one product line, one person reading the billing email: you probably do not need more than the manager. Multiple OVH entities, dedicated plus Public Cloud, or a finance team reconciling EU VAT across several countries: forward OVH's billing emails to Inbox Ledger and stop piecing it together by legal entity every month.

Before you start — quick checklist

The OVH subsidiary on the invoice (OVH SAS, OVH GmbH, OVH Limited, OVH Inc, OVH Hispano, etc.) matches the country where you contracted
Your company legal name, address, and VAT or tax ID appear correctly in the Bill to block
EU VAT ID holders outside France see reverse-charge applied with zero VAT and the correct legal note
Dedicated server, Public Cloud, VPS, and domain charges are each present if you use those products (often separate invoices or separate lines)
Setup fees on new dedicated servers are shown as one-off line items, not bundled into the recurring fee
The PDF is the finalized invoice with a sequential number, not a pro forma or a quote

Pro tips

OVH is a multi-brand group. OVH is the flagship, Kimsufi is the low-cost dedicated line, and SoYouStart is the mid-range line. Each brand may issue invoices under a slightly different commercial name but the same OVH legal entity. Do not assume Kimsufi and OVH invoices sit in separate accounts, because they usually do not.
Dedicated servers and VPS are prepaid monthly in advance. Public Cloud is postpaid based on metered usage. That means your Public Cloud invoice for March arrives in early April, but your dedicated server invoice for March was already paid in late February. Reconciliation across both on the same month needs a cross-period view.
OVHcloud rebranded from OVH in 2019 and the brand is still in transition. Invoices may say OVH or OVHcloud depending on the product line and the year. Treat both as the same vendor in your accounting, but keep the exact name from the PDF for audit trails.
If you operate across several OVH subsidiaries (a common pattern for multinationals with separate French and German entities), each subsidiary is a separate customer on a separate contract. You have to log in to each one. There is no global consolidated billing view.
OVH offers payment by SEPA direct debit, credit card, and bank transfer. If you pay by SEPA the invoice is issued first and the debit follows a few days later, so you have time to download before the charge actually hits your bank.
The manager language defaults to the subsidiary's language (French for OVH France, German for OVH GmbH). Switch the language in your profile settings before triggering new invoices if you want them in English. Past invoices keep their original language and cannot be reissued.
