Is OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-64 the best deal?

Managed Database - MySQL · $1351.6/mo (64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-64 is significantly overpriced for a single-node managed database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs at 65-75% lower cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas. Unless you need OVHcloud's specific region or compliance posture, switching will save $800-900/month.

MySQL CC-Reg 8vCPU/32GB (0 rep)

$480/mosave 64.5%

Half the price of OVHcloud with 8 vCPU and 32GB RAM; MySQL native; 100% network uptime SLA beats OVHcloud's implicit terms.

Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows licensing not included (but you are running MySQL, so irrelevant).

Shared 32 GB - Standalone

$480/mosave 64.5%

Matches Vultr pricing with 32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 640GB SSD; 99.99% SLA; outbound bandwidth at $0.005/GB is competitive.

Caveat: Spec is ESTIMATED from linear pricing pattern and not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more if you need redundancy later.

Managed Databases 32GB Standard

$490/mosave 63.8%

32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 960GB disk at $490/mo; includes 400GB monthly transfer; 99.9% SLA; AWS ecosystem integration.

Caveat: Data transfer overage is steep at $0.09-0.132/GB depending on region; OVHcloud's 4 Gbps public bandwidth may be more generous for sustained traffic.

PostgreSQL Basic Premium AMD 32GB

$397.1/mosave 70.6%

Cheapest option at $397/mo for 32GB RAM, 8 vCPU; 99.99% SLA; simple, predictable pricing with minimal hidden fees.

Caveat: Database is PostgreSQL, not MySQL, so requires schema/application migration; bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB after pooled allowance.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's per-node hourly rate ($1.8515/hr) suggests you may be paying for a larger instance than needed; verify actual resource utilization before committing.
APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026 on OVHcloud; if you are in India/Singapore/Australia, factor in future egress costs.
Linode's spec is ESTIMATED and not directly confirmed; contact Linode to verify exact MySQL managed database pricing and HA cluster costs.
All alternatives offer lower per-GB storage costs; OVHcloud's 1.28-6.4TB range is wide and pricing tier unclear.
If you need true HA (3-node cluster), Linode and Vultr pricing will increase; verify their HA cluster costs before final decision.
