Managed Database - MySQL · $675.83/mo (32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-32 is significantly overpriced for a single-node managed database. Multiple providers offer comparable or better specs at 23-71% lower cost, with stronger SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas. Unless you need OVHcloud's specific region or feature set, switching will save hundreds monthly.
Cheapest option at $158/mo with 16GB RAM and 4 vCPU; covers most small-to-medium workloads and includes 99.9-99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Half the RAM and storage of OVHcloud; storage is 50GB SSD vs 640GB-3.2TB, so only suitable if you don't need large datasets.
| 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 |
Strong 99.99% SLA, transparent bandwidth billing ($0.01/GB overage), and straightforward pricing with no region-based egress cliffs.
Caveat: Also 16GB/4vCPU; if you need 32GB RAM and 8 vCPU, you would need to step up to a higher tier.
6 vCPU and 320GB disk at $240/mo; 100% network uptime SLA and no region-based egress surprises like OVHcloud's APAC cutoff.
Caveat: Still 16GB RAM vs OVHcloud's 32GB; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center, so verify your region's rates.
Includes 300GB monthly transfer allowance, 480GB disk, and 99.9% SLA; good for workloads with predictable egress.
Caveat: 16GB RAM only; data transfer overages are steep at $0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region, and can exceed the base price quickly.
6 vCPU, 320GB SSD, 99.99% SLA, and transparent $0.005/GB overage rate; no region-based egress cliffs.
Caveat: Pricing is estimated from linear node patterns and not directly confirmed; 16GB RAM vs 32GB; HA clusters cost 2-3x more if you need redundancy.
