Is OVHcloud's Business DB1-15 the best deal?

Managed Database - MySQL · $654.23/mo (15 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's Business DB1-15 at $654.23/mo is significantly overpriced for a managed MySQL database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (8GB RAM, 2-4 vCPU) at 80-90% lower cost, with transparent pricing and no region-based egress cliffs. Unless you specifically need OVHcloud's 15GB RAM and 320-960GB storage, switching will save $500+ monthly.

DB-PRO2-XXS (non-HA)

$80/mosave 87.8%

8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 20GB SSD at just $80/mo with transparent egress pricing (75GB free, then EUR 0.01/GB) and no region-based surcharges.

Caveat: Non-HA (single node); if you need redundancy, upgrade to HA variant or accept lower availability than OVHcloud's 2-node setup.

Managed Databases OpenSearch Basic 8GB

$76.25/mosave 88.3%

8GB RAM, 4 vCPU at $76.25/mo with 99.99% SLA and straightforward bandwidth overage pricing ($0.01/GB).

Caveat: Product is OpenSearch (Elasticsearch-compatible), not MySQL; verify workload compatibility before switching.

Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server D2s

$95/mosave 85.5%

8GB RAM, 2 vCPU at $95/mo (compute only) with 99.99% SLA; 1-year reserved instances drop to ~$59/mo (90% savings).

Caveat: Price excludes storage; storage, IOPS, and throughput billed separately; requires careful cost modeling for full TCO.

Render Postgres Pro-8gb

$100/mosave 84.7%

8GB RAM, 2 vCPU at $100/mo with 99.95% SLA and included backups; simple per-second billing avoids surprise partial-month charges.

Caveat: Storage and bandwidth overages billed separately ($0.25-0.30/GB); verify your storage needs and egress patterns.

Managed Databases 8GB Standard

$115/mosave 82.4%

8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 240GB disk, 200GB transfer at $115/mo with 99.9% SLA and encrypted data.

Caveat: Data transfer overage rates vary by region ($0.09-0.132/GB); confirm your region's egress pricing.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; verify your region and plan for future cost increases.
Confirm whether you actually need 15GB RAM and 320-960GB storage; most alternatives offer 8GB/20-160GB at 1/8th the price.
If you require true HA (2+ nodes), Scaleway non-HA and some alternatives may need tier upgrades; recalculate total cost.
Azure and Render require separate storage billing; model your actual storage footprint before committing.
DigitalOcean's OpenSearch is not MySQL; if you need MySQL specifically, Scaleway or Render are better matches.
Check egress patterns and regional pricing for AWS Lightsail and Azure; per-GB overages can add up quickly.
