Managed Database - MySQL · $5406.38/mo (256 GB RAM, 64 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-256 is significantly overpriced at $5406/mo compared to direct competitors offering similar or better specs at 48-52% lower cost. Vultr and Linode both deliver 256GB RAM with comparable performance for under $2700/mo, making them substantially better value.
Matches OVHcloud's 256GB RAM and storage tier at less than half the price, with 100% network uptime SLA.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows licensing not included 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 |
Half the RAM (128GB vs 256GB) but 50 dedicated vCPUs, NVMe storage, and 99.99% SLA at 52% savings; scales to 256GB for roughly 2-3x this price if needed.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x single-node; backups are a separate add-on (20-25% of instance price).
Cheapest option at 66% savings; 128GB RAM with 32 vCPU, 99.99% SLA, and straightforward bandwidth overage model.
Caveat: Half the RAM of OVHcloud tier; bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB; PostgreSQL instead of MySQL if that matters for your workload.
35% cheaper than OVHcloud with 244GB RAM, 2TB disk, and higher connection limits (500 max); managed simplicity appeals to some teams.
Caveat: Postgres only (not MySQL); Essential tier has 99.5% SLA and no HA; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades; Advanced tier pricing requires sales contact.
