Managed Database - MySQL · $621.3/mo (8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Advanced B3-8 at $621.30/mo is significantly overpriced for a managed database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (8GB RAM, 2 vCPU) at 10-20% of the cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas. Even accounting for OVHcloud's 3-node setup, per-node costs are still 3-5x higher than single-node alternatives.
Matches OVHcloud's 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU at 1/8th the price with 99.9-99.99% SLA and no per-node billing model.
Caveat: Non-HA by default (HA available at higher tier); egress from Object Storage charged after 75GB free tier.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 99.99% SLA, with 1-year reserved pricing discounts available (38% off).
Caveat: Price is compute-only estimate excluding storage; outbound bandwidth charged above 100GB/month; Premium SSD IOPS billed separately.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, includes HA, backups, and connection pooling out of the box; storage billed separately at $0.28/GB.
Caveat: No published platform SLA; regional pricing varies; extra RAM and cross-region traffic incur per-GB overage fees; stopped machines still charge for rootfs storage.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU at 1/10th the price with industry-leading 99.999% SLA; single-node but highly reliable.
Caveat: Only 50GB disk (vs OVHcloud's 160-800GB range); backups are a percentage surcharge (10-60% depending on frequency); data transfer overages possible despite free-egress marketing.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB disk at 1/10th the price with 100% network uptime SLA.
Caveat: Only 4GB RAM vs OVHcloud's 8GB; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows license surcharge not included in base price.
