Is OVHcloud's l40s-1-gpu the best deal?

AI Notebooks / Training / Deploy · $1233.7/mo (80 GB RAM, 13 vCPU, 1536 GB)

Better deals exist

DigitalOcean offers a $87.60/month saving (7.1%) with comparable GPU performance and simpler pricing, though with less RAM and disk. Vultr is slightly more expensive but provides significantly more CPU and RAM if you need that headroom. Both avoid OVHcloud's regional egress-fee cliff in 2026.

GPU Droplets NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada

$1146.1/mosave 7.1%

Lowest sticker price with transparent bandwidth pooling, strong 99.99% SLA, and no regional egress surprises after 2026.

Caveat: 64GB RAM and 500GB NVMe are both smaller than OVHcloud; RTX 6000 Ada is consumer-grade vs L40S datacenter-grade, so verify workload fit.

Cloud GPU NVIDIA A40 (1x)

$1249.76/mo

120GB RAM and 24 vCPU offer 50% more compute headroom than OVHcloud for only $16 more, plus 100% network uptime SLA.

Caveat: A40 is older architecture than L40S; Windows license cost not included; bandwidth overage rates vary by location and must be confirmed.

Before you switch

Verify DigitalOcean RTX 6000 Ada vs OVHcloud L40S performance for your specific ML workload (consumer vs datacenter GPU).
Confirm Vultr A40 meets your inference/training requirements; it is a generation older than L40S.
Check OVHcloud's exact APAC egress-fee start date for your region (India, Singapore, Australia differ) and calculate 2026+ cost impact.
Factor in OVHcloud Windows license surcharge ($0.039/vCore/hour = ~$28.80/mo for 13 vCPU) if running Windows.
Verify DigitalOcean and Vultr bandwidth overage rates for your expected egress volume; OVHcloud's free egress may be valuable if you transfer heavily today.
