Managed Database - MySQL · $255.72/mo (15 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Essential DB1-15 at $255.72/mo is significantly overpriced for a managed MySQL database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (8GB RAM, 2-4 vCPU, managed MySQL/PostgreSQL) at less than half the cost, with transparent pricing and better SLAs. The OVHcloud plan's hidden costs (IPv4 billing, APAC egress changes post-2026) and premium positioning make it a poor value.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch Basic 8GB | $76.25/mo | 8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU | Visit |
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XXS (non-HA) | $80/mo | 8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 20 GB SSD | Visit |
| Microsoft Azure | Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · General Purpose D2s |
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU managed Postgres at $100/mo with 99.95% SLA and included storage, beating OVHcloud by 60%+ on price.
Caveat: Storage overage billed at $0.30/GB/month; persistent disk storage charged separately at $0.25/GB/month beyond included allocation.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU managed database at $115/mo with 200GB transfer included, 99.9% SLA, and encrypted data at rest.
Caveat: Data transfer overage varies by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); pricing is compute-only and does not include storage beyond the 240GB disk.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU (matching OVHcloud's vCPU count) managed MySQL at $120/mo with 160GB disk and 100% network uptime SLA.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows license cost not included in base price if applicable.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU managed database at $130/mo with 160GB SSD, 99.99% SLA, and transparent $0.005/GB overage billing.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on.
