OVH Hosting are a huge cloud computing host.
Apparently the largest in Europe, and 3rd largest in the World (based on a quick google search)

The are NOT an ISP so there is limited human trafric.
It's highly likely that the visits are non-human, probably spammer or scraper bots.

Due to some backdoors in the French criminal law, OVH hosting already a decade ago was a good opportunity for sharing warez, hacking tools and other stuff like this.

They never replied to any abuse emails.

Until today traffic from this group is as shady and or dangerous as from Hetzner or Leaseweb.
