Managed Database - MySQL · $19879.73/mo (256 GB RAM, 64 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Advanced B3-256 at $19,879.73/mo is dramatically overpriced compared to functionally equivalent managed database offerings. Vultr and Linode deliver comparable or superior specs (256GB RAM, 32-50 vCPU) at 87-88% lower cost, with transparent pricing and no region-based egress cliffs.
Matches OVHcloud's 256GB RAM and vCPU count at 1/7.6 the price, with 100% network uptime SLA and no region-based egress penalties.
Caveat: Valkey is an in-memory cache (not MySQL); bandwidth overages vary by data center; Windows license costs extra if needed.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · PostgreSQL General Purpose 128GB | $1825.4/mo | 128 GB RAM, 32 vCPU | Visit |
| Vultr | Managed Databases · Valkey Mem-Opt 32vCPU/256GB (0 rep) | $2600/mo | 256 GB RAM, 32 vCPU | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Managed Databases · Dedicated G7 128 GB - Standalone |
Estimated 3-node HA cluster cost (2-3x single-node $2620) still undercuts OVHcloud by 60%, with 50 dedicated vCPU, NVMe storage, and transparent $0.005/GB egress.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear scaling pattern and not directly confirmed; HA cluster cost range is 2-3x, so actual price may vary; backups and bandwidth overages are separate line items.
Half the RAM (128GB vs 256GB) but 90% cheaper, with 99.99% SLA and simple $0.01/GB overage billing; suitable if workload fits smaller footprint.
Caveat: Only 128GB RAM and 32 vCPU (half OVHcloud's specs); PostgreSQL, not MySQL; bandwidth overages apply after pooled allowance.
82% cheaper than OVHcloud with 244GB RAM and 2TB disk; Standard tier includes HA and higher uptime than Essential.
Caveat: PostgreSQL not MySQL; row/connection limit overages can force unplanned tier upgrades; Advanced tier pricing not published; Private Spaces carry 2-3x premium.
