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 ($0.01/GB/mo) for object storage tiers. However, those cheaper options carry retrieval fees, minimum storage durations, and early-deletion penalties that may offset savings depending on your access patterns. For high-performance block storage with consistent throughput and IOPS, OVHcloud is solid, but watch for APAC egress cost changes after mid-2026.
Combines $0.01/GB base capacity with ~$0.0085/GB performance tier for a total of ~$0.0185/GB/mo, significantly cheaper than OVHcloud's $0.1/GB/mo for equivalent block performance.
Caveat: VPU performance tier is billed regardless of actual I/O used, so you pay for the tier even during idle periods; SLA is 99.95% vs OVHcloud's implicit high availability.
NVMe SSD block storage at $0.05/GB/mo with up to 20,000 IOPS included, half OVHcloud's price with no separate IOPS surcharge.
Caveat: Windows/SQL Server licensing adds undisclosed per-server surcharges only revealed at checkout; bandwidth overage at $0.01/GB past pooled allowance; powered-off servers may still accrue charges.
HDD block storage at $0.05/GB/mo with 200 MB/s throughput and 1,100 IOPS, half OVHcloud's price for lower-performance workloads.
Caveat: HDD throughput (200 MB/s) is significantly lower than OVHcloud's up-to-512 MB/s; intro pricing traps on some plans renew at 2-6x higher rates; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/30 days each.
Snapshot storage at $0.04/GB/mo is cheaper than OVHcloud's base rate and includes 75 GB/mo free egress before EUR 0.01/GB overage kicks in.
Caveat: This is snapshot storage, not primary block storage; pricing is per GB-hour equivalent; Windows licensing adds a 2.5x surcharge on certain instance types.
Object storage at $0.01/GB/mo is 90% cheaper than OVHcloud's block storage if your workload tolerates 30-day minimum retention and retrieval fees.
Caveat: Retrieval fee of $0.01/GB applies; 30-day minimum storage duration enforced; egress billed per-GB above 200 GiB/month free tier; sustained-use discounts are separate and easy to miss.
