# Adding an OVH Provider

OVH is an international French-based cloud computing company ([[http://ovh.com|www.ovh.com]] ) that offers a range of hosted services including [[cloudproviders/openstack|Open Stack Swift]] compatible object storage.

## Create an OpenStack User Account

To connect to this provider you will first need to create an OVH OpenStack user account. This account is different from the one you used to log into the OVH administrator account at https://www.ovh.com/manager/cloud/.

To create a user account see the OVH guide [[https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/public-cloud/configure_user_access_to_horizon/|Configure User Access to Horizon]].

## Look up Project Number

The project number is used as the OpenStack Swift Tenant Name. To look it up, log into the Horizon interface. This is the administrative interface for OpenStack.  The project number is shown at the top left of the page:
