Last month, OVH, the number one hosting provider in Europe and fourth globally, announced that it raised $181M <\/a>to fuel its North American expansion. Now comes the news that they’re integrating Mailjet<\/a> into their new OVH Marketplace<\/a>. \u00a0Mailjet, who are a key competitor of MailChimp and define their offering as a “the email service for developers”, will now be the\u00a0only email service present on OVH’s marketplace\u00a0and will be recommended by OVH to their clients.<\/p>\n As OVH has over 140k servers and hosts more than 18 million web applications, this is obviously a big win for Mailjet. The biggest challenge will clearly be ‘selling’ those OVH customers who’d be a good fit for Mailjet’s services on the proposition. However, the fact that Mailjet’s ‘robust and flexible’ APIs easily enable email management across all applications and that OVH hosting is 100% compatible with Mailjet, making this transition should be a lot easier and more compelling for potential customers. In speaking about the announced deal, OVH adds:<\/p>\n \u201cMailjet has used the OVH.com infrastructures for a long time, to develop its email services in the Cloud. Mailjet is also a client with whom we are very often in contact, in order to improve our products and services. It is thus completely natural that we are offering Mailjet to be a part of the first players in our marketplace, which will allow Mailjet to be promoted to our clients.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n This deal looks to be a win-win for both companies. OVH’s focus at the moment is pushing heavily into North America. As Mailjet does 30% of their business there, this deal should help them gain even stronger foothold there and will enable OVH to offer the N American market a more comprehensive hosting \/ value-added services solution. A big question is whether once OVH ramps up in N America, whether Mailjet will try to compete head-on with MailChimp. As Mailjet can essentially leverage OVH’s N American infrastructure and resources when them come online to scale-up rapidly, they may surprise MailChimp and encroach on their territory more quickly than anticipated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last month, OVH, the number one hosting provider in Europe and fourth globally, announced that it raised $181M to fuel its North American expansion.
