Managed Database - MySQL · $2484.99/mo (32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Advanced B3-32 is significantly overpriced for a managed database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs at 6-10x lower cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas. Even accounting for the 3-node cluster setup, alternatives deliver far better value.
Half the RAM but 1/16th the price; suitable for smaller workloads and includes 99.9-99.99% SLA with minimal hidden costs.
Caveat: Only 50GB storage vs OVHcloud's 640GB minimum; egress beyond 75GB/mo charged at EUR 0.01/GB.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XS | $158/mo | 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50 GB SSD | Visit |
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch General Purpose 16GB | $197.35/mo | 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU | Visit |
| Vultr | Managed Databases · MySQL CC-Reg 6vCPU/16GB (0 rep) | $240/mo |
16GB RAM at 1/12th the OVHcloud price with 99.99% SLA and transparent bandwidth billing ($0.01/GB overage).
Caveat: OpenSearch is a search/analytics engine, not a general-purpose SQL database; verify workload fit.
16GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 320GB disk at 1/10th the price; 100% network uptime SLA and straightforward pricing.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows licensing not included if needed.
16GB RAM, 480GB disk, 300GB transfer included, encrypted by default at 1/10th the OVHcloud cost.
Caveat: Data transfer overage is steep ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region); Windows bundles cost 70-90% more.
16GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 320GB SSD at 1/10th the price with 99.99% SLA; HA clusters available at 2-3x cost if needed.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA and backups are paid add-ons (20-25% surcharge each).
