Is OVHcloud's Business DB1-60 the best deal?

Managed Database - MySQL · $2624.5/mo (60 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's Business DB1-60 is significantly overpriced for the specs offered. Multiple providers deliver comparable or superior database performance at 15-30% of the cost, with clearer pricing and better SLAs. The OVHcloud plan's per-node hourly billing and hidden regional egress changes make it a poor value proposition.

MySQL CC-Reg 8vCPU/32GB (0 rep)

$480/mosave 81.7%

Delivers 8 vCPU and 32GB RAM at 18% of OVHcloud's price with a 100% network uptime SLA and no per-node hourly billing complexity.

Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows licensing not included if needed.

Shared 32 GB - Standalone

$480/mosave 81.7%

Matches Vultr's specs at the same price with 99.99% SLA and transparent bandwidth billing ($0.005/GB overage).

Caveat: Pricing is estimated from linear node patterns and not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more if high availability is required.

Managed Databases 32GB Standard

$490/mosave 81.3%

32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 960GB disk at 18.6% of OVHcloud cost with 400GB included transfer and data encryption standard.

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

Managed Databases PostgreSQL Basic Premium AMD 32GB

$397.1/mosave 84.9%

Cheapest option at 15% of OVHcloud's price with 99.99% SLA and straightforward bandwidth overage at $0.01/GB.

Caveat: PostgreSQL only, not MySQL; 32GB RAM vs OVHcloud's 60GB, so not a perfect spec match but vastly better value.

Managed Postgres Performance-8x

$1922/mosave 26.8%

Larger spec (64GB RAM, 8 vCPU) with included HA, backups, and connection pooling; still 27% cheaper than OVHcloud.

Caveat: PostgreSQL only; storage billed separately at $0.28/GB; regional pricing premiums apply; no published platform SLA.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's per-node hourly billing ($1.7976/hr x2) creates renewal-price lock-in; verify the exact monthly commitment terms.
APAC region outbound traffic loses free egress after mid-2026; if you use India/Singapore/Australia, factor in future egress costs.
All alternatives offer 8 vCPU/32GB as a baseline; OVHcloud's 60GB RAM is overkill for most workloads—confirm your actual memory needs before upgrading.
DigitalOcean and Fly.io are PostgreSQL-only; if MySQL is mandatory, Vultr or Linode are the best MySQL alternatives.
Linode's HA cluster pricing (2-3x single-node) and Fly.io's regional premiums can erode savings if high availability is required.
