Block Storage · $0.1/mo
OVHcloud's High Speed Gen2 block storage is competitively priced at $0.1/GB/mo, but several providers offer lower headline rates for object storage ($0.01/GB/mo) if your workload tolerates retrieval fees and minimum retention periods. For true block storage with comparable performance, OVHcloud is solid, though IONOS and Kamatera undercut on price if you accept lower IOPS/throughput guarantees.
Half the per-GB cost of OVHcloud with 20,000 IOPS included and no IOPS surcharge, making it excellent value for high-throughput workloads.
Caveat: Windows/SQL licensing surcharges are hidden until checkout; powered-off servers continue to accrue charges; billed by the minute, so verify your actual usage pattern.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Azure | Blob Storage · Cool tier | $0.01/mo | Per GB/month, LRS. Lower storage cost, retrieval and early-deletion fees apply for objects deleted before 30 days. | Visit |
| Google Cloud | Cloud Storage · Nearline storage | $0.01/mo | $0.010/GB/month, 30-day minimum storage duration, $0.01/GB retrieval fee | Visit |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Object Storage · Infrequent Access | $0.01/mo |
50% cheaper per GB than OVHcloud with 1,100 static IOPS and 200 MB/s throughput, suitable for sequential/non-latency-critical workloads.
Caveat: HDD tier is much slower than OVHcloud's NVMe; renewal pricing after promo period can be 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each.
Dramatically cheaper at ~$0.0185/GB/mo (capacity + default performance tier combined) with balanced performance suitable for most workloads.
Caveat: Performance (VPU) is billed separately and charged regardless of actual I/O used; SLA is 99.95% vs OVHcloud's implicit higher tier; verify performance tier matches your IOPS/throughput needs.
90% cheaper if your use case tolerates object storage with 30-day minimum retention and per-GB retrieval fees.
Caveat: Not true block storage; retrieval fees ($0.01/GB) and early-deletion penalties apply; egress billed above 200 GiB/month free tier; sustained-use discounts require separate enrollment.
90% cheaper per GB for object storage with LRS redundancy and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Object storage, not block; 30-day minimum retention and early-deletion penalties; retrieval and transaction fees apply; 128 KiB minimum per object.
