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

Managed Database - MySQL · $1966.4/mo (30 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's Enterprise DB1-30 at $1966.40/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 16GB RAM managed databases at $158-$250/mo with comparable or better performance, though none match the 30GB RAM tier exactly. If you can work with 16GB, you'll save 85-92% monthly.

DB-PRO2-XS

$158/mosave 92%

Cheapest managed database option with 16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50GB SSD; supports both MySQL and PostgreSQL with 99.9-99.99% SLA.

Caveat: Only 50GB storage vs OVHcloud's 640GB-1.92TB; Object Storage cold-tier retrieval fees apply; egress beyond 75GB/mo costs EUR 0.01/GB.

Managed Databases OpenSearch General Purpose 16GB

$197.35/mosave 90%

16GB RAM, 4 vCPU at $197/mo with 99.99% SLA and included bandwidth pooling; straightforward pricing with minimal hidden costs.

Caveat: Product is OpenSearch (not MySQL); bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB; storage capacity not clearly specified in tier name.

MySQL CC-Reg 6vCPU/16GB

$240/mosave 88%

16GB RAM, 6 vCPU (better CPU than OVHcloud per GB), 320GB disk at $240/mo; 100% network uptime SLA.

Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows licensing not included; storage is 320GB vs OVHcloud's 640GB-1.92TB.

Managed Databases 16GB Standard

$245/mosave 88%

16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 480GB disk, 300GB monthly transfer included at $245/mo; data encrypted by default with 99.9% SLA.

Caveat: Data transfer overages are expensive ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region); 480GB storage still well below OVHcloud's range.

Shared 16GB Standalone

$250/mosave 87%

16GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 320GB SSD at $250/mo with 99.99% SLA; outbound bandwidth at $0.005/GB after pooled allowance.

Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (20-25% surcharge).

Before you switch

OVHcloud's 30GB RAM tier is genuinely larger than all alternatives listed; if you need that capacity, compare 3-node HA clusters on Linode or Fly.io instead of single-node 16GB tiers.
Verify whether OVHcloud's 640GB-1.92TB usable storage is a hard requirement; most competitors offer 50-480GB, which may not suit large databases.
Check OVHcloud's APAC region egress-billing cliff (free until mid-2026, then paid); if you're in India/Singapore/Australia, factor in future egress costs.
Scaleway and Vultr have lower storage but much lower egress costs than AWS Lightsail; model your actual bandwidth usage before switching.
Linode's HA (3-node) pricing is estimated at 2-3x single-node; confirm exact pricing if high availability is mandatory.
