Managed Database - MySQL · $163.52/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Business DB1-4 at $163.52/mo is significantly overpriced for a managed database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (4GB RAM, 2 vCPU) at 30-60% lower cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas. Even accounting for hidden costs, you can save $80-120/month by switching.
Matches your 4GB RAM and 64GB storage at one-third the price, includes HA and 120 max connections, with published 99.5%+ SLA.
Caveat: Heroku Postgres Essential tier (cheaper) has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; Standard tier requires established billing history; Advanced tier pricing requires sales contact.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-DEV-S | $11/mo | 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 10 GB SSD | Visit |
| Microsoft Azure | Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · Burstable B1ms | $12.41/mo | 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU | Visit |
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch Basic 2GB |
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB SSD at 40% of OVHcloud price with 99.99% SLA; outbound bandwidth overages are modest at $0.005/GB.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (~$13-16/mo).
2GB RAM, 2 vCPU with built-in HA, backups, and connection pooling at 44% of OVHcloud; storage billed separately at $0.28/GB.
Caveat: Only 2GB RAM (half your tier); no published platform SLA; regional pricing varies; stopped machines still incur storage charges; cross-region traffic can be expensive.
2GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB disk at one-third OVHcloud's price with 100% network uptime SLA.
Caveat: Only 2GB RAM (half your tier); bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows licensing not included in base price.
4GB RAM, 1 vCPU at one-third OVHcloud's price with 99.95% SLA; includes persistent disk and scales to 128 vCPU/512GB at higher tiers.
Caveat: Only 1 vCPU (half your tier); persistent disk storage billed separately at $0.25/GB/month; bandwidth overage at ~$0.15/GB; instances billed by the second.
