Is OVHcloud's Business DB1-30 the best deal?

Managed Database - MySQL · $1310.93/mo (30 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's Business DB1-30 is significantly overpriced for the managed database market. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs at 12-19% of the cost, with transparent pricing and better SLAs. Unless you have specific OVHcloud ecosystem lock-in, switching will yield substantial savings.

DB-PRO2-XS

$158/mosave 88%

Half the RAM (16GB vs 30GB) but 88% cheaper; suitable for most production MySQL workloads under moderate load with transparent egress pricing.

Caveat: Storage capped at 50GB SSD vs OVHcloud's 640GB-1.92TB; if you need >50GB, you'll need to tier up significantly.

MySQL CC-Reg 6vCPU/16GB

$240/mosave 82%

16GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 320GB disk for 82% less; strong SLA (100% network uptime) and no per-node billing complexity.

Caveat: Storage is 320GB vs OVHcloud's 640GB minimum; bandwidth overages vary by data center and are not pre-disclosed.

Managed Databases 16GB Standard

$245/mosave 81%

16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 480GB disk, 300GB monthly transfer included; AWS ecosystem integration and data encryption standard.

Caveat: Data transfer overages are steep ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region); 99.9% SLA is lower than some competitors.

Shared 16 GB - Standalone

$250/mosave 81%

16GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 320GB SSD, standalone node; 99.99% SLA and transparent per-GB bandwidth pricing ($0.005/GB overage).

Caveat: Spec is ESTIMATED from linear pricing, not directly confirmed; HA clustering costs 2-3x the single-node price if you need redundancy.

Managed Databases OpenSearch General Purpose 16GB

$197/mosave 85%

16GB RAM, 4 vCPU for 85% less; 99.99% SLA and simple, predictable bandwidth overage model ($0.01/GB).

Caveat: Product is OpenSearch (not MySQL); verify compatibility with your application before migrating.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's per-node billing ($0.8979/hr x2) and separate IPv4 charges are not standard in the managed database market; confirm total TCO including all add-ons.
APAC region egress loses free status after mid-2026; if you are in India/Singapore/Australia, factor in future egress costs or plan a migration.
Linode's spec is ESTIMATED and not directly confirmed; contact Linode to verify exact HA/standalone pricing before committing.
Most alternatives cap storage at 50-480GB; if you genuinely need 640GB-1.92TB, verify the next tier up at each provider and recalculate savings.
Confirm your workload is compatible with the alternative database engine (e.g., DigitalOcean offers OpenSearch, not MySQL) before switching.
