Managed Database - MySQL · $169/mo (8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-8 at $169/mo is significantly overpriced for a managed MySQL database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (4-8GB RAM, 2 vCPU) at 35-65% lower cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas. The best value lies in the $55-80/mo tier.
Matches OVHcloud's vCPU/RAM at 2.8x lower cost with 100% network uptime SLA and no egress billing surprises.
Caveat: 80GB disk is smaller than OVHcloud's 160-800GB range; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 120GB disk at 2.8x lower cost; includes 100GB monthly transfer and encryption.
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates are region-dependent ($0.09-$0.132/GB); 99.9% SLA is lower than OVHcloud's implied tier.
Identical vCPU/RAM specs at 2.8x lower cost with industry-leading 99.999% SLA and transparent pricing.
Caveat: 50GB disk is significantly smaller; backup add-ons (10-60% surcharge) and data transfer overages can add hidden costs.
Matches OVHcloud's 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU at 2.1x lower cost; includes 20GB SSD and 99.9-99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Non-HA single-node only; 20GB disk is much smaller; egress from Object Storage charged after 75GB free tier.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB SSD at 2.6x lower cost with 99.99% SLA and no egress charges within pooled allowance.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on.
