Managed Database - MySQL · $1351.6/mo (64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-64 is significantly overpriced compared to smaller-spec managed databases from DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, and AWS Lightsail, all of which cost 60-70% less. However, if you genuinely need 64GB RAM and 16 vCPU, OVHcloud's per-node pricing is competitive; the real issue is that most workloads can run on half the resources at a fraction of the cost.
Cheapest option by far at 397/mo with 32GB RAM and 8 vCPU; includes 99.99% SLA and transparent bandwidth overage pricing.
Caveat: Half the RAM and vCPU of OVHcloud; PostgreSQL not MySQL; assess whether your workload fits the smaller tier.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · PostgreSQL Basic Premium AMD 32GB | $397.1/mo | 32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU | Visit |
| Vultr | Managed Databases · MySQL CC-Reg 8vCPU/32GB (0 rep) | $480/mo | 32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 640 GB | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Managed Databases · Shared 32 GB - Standalone |
MySQL match at 480/mo with 32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, and 640GB disk; claims 100% network uptime SLA.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows license cost not included if needed.
490/mo for 32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 960GB disk, and 400GB transfer included; data encrypted by default.
Caveat: Data transfer overage is expensive (0.09-0.132/GB depending on region); 99.9% SLA is lower than competitors.
480/mo for 32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 640GB SSD; 99.99% SLA and transparent bandwidth overage at 0.005/GB.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on.
Closest spec match at 64GB RAM and 8 vCPU; includes HA, backups, and connection pooling; Amsterdam base rate.
Caveat: 42% more expensive than OVHcloud; Postgres not MySQL; storage billed separately at 0.28/GB; regional pricing premiums apply; no published platform SLA.
