OVHcloud Production B3-32: Better Deal Comparison

Comparing prices across every provider we track...

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's Production B3-32 is significantly overpriced for a managed database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs at 10-16% of the cost, with transparent pricing and no region-based egress cliffs. Even accounting for hidden costs, alternatives deliver substantially better value.

DB-PRO2-XS

$158/mosave 89.7%

Half the RAM and vCPU but 89% cheaper; suitable for non-production or read-replica workloads, with transparent egress pricing (75GB free, then EUR 0.01/GB).

Caveat: Specs are half OVHcloud's; best for smaller databases or development environments, not direct production replacement.

Managed Databases OpenSearch General Purpose 16GB

$197.35/mosave 87.2%

16GB RAM at 87% discount with 99.99% SLA; bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB are predictable and lower than OVHcloud's regional egress penalties.

Caveat: OpenSearch is not MySQL; verify workload compatibility before switching.

MySQL CC-Reg 6vCPU/16GB

$240/mosave 84.4%

16GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 320GB disk at 84% savings; native MySQL with 100% network uptime SLA and no region-based egress cliffs.

Caveat: Single-node (0 replicas); HA/replication will require additional cost or manual setup.

Managed Databases 16GB Standard

$245/mosave 84.1%

16GB RAM, 480GB disk, 300GB monthly transfer included at 84% savings; data encryption standard; 99.9% SLA.

Caveat: Data transfer overages are region-dependent ($0.09-$0.132/GB); verify your region's egress costs before committing.

Shared 16 GB - Standalone

$250/mosave 83.7%

16GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 320GB SSD at 84% savings; 99.99% SLA; outbound bandwidth at $0.005/GB is transparent and low.

Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA (3-node) clusters cost 2-3x more and would negate savings.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026; factor in future $0.01-0.05/GB egress costs if you are in India, Singapore, or Australia.
All alternatives offer 16GB RAM vs OVHcloud's 32GB; verify your actual memory footprint before downgrading.
Linode's price is estimated, not confirmed; contact sales for exact 16GB managed database pricing.
DigitalOcean's product is OpenSearch (search/analytics), not MySQL; confirm workload compatibility.
AWS Lightsail egress costs vary by region; check your specific region's overage rate ($0.09-$0.132/GB) before migrating.
