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

Managed Database - MySQL · $3074.18/mo (64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's Production B3-64 is significantly overpriced for a managed database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs at 13-32x lower cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas. The OVHcloud tier appears to be a high-end HA cluster (2 nodes), but even accounting for that, alternatives deliver far better value.

Managed Databases MySQL CC-Reg 8vCPU/32GB

$480/mosave 84%

Half the vCPU and RAM of OVHcloud but 84% cheaper; MySQL native; 100% network uptime SLA; no per-node hourly billing trap.

Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; storage capped at 640GB vs OVHcloud's 1.28-6.4TB range.

Managed Databases Shared 32GB Standalone

$480/mosave 84%

Matches Vultr pricing and specs; 99.99% SLA; transparent bandwidth billing at $0.005/GB after pooled allowance.

Caveat: Spec is ESTIMATED from pricing patterns, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on.

Managed Databases 32GB Standard

$490/mosave 84%

32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 960GB disk for $490/mo; includes 400GB monthly transfer; encrypted by default; 99.9% SLA.

Caveat: Data transfer overage is steep ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region); regional pricing variation not fully transparent.

Managed Databases PostgreSQL Basic Premium AMD 32GB

$397/mosave 87%

Cheapest option at $397/mo for 32GB/8vCPU; 99.99% SLA; simple bandwidth overage model ($0.01/GB).

Caveat: PostgreSQL, not MySQL; half the storage and vCPU of OVHcloud's tier; smallest absolute specs in this list.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's per-node hourly billing ($2.1056/hr x2) suggests a 2-node HA cluster; verify whether you actually need HA or if a single-node managed DB suffices.
OVHcloud's APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; factor in $0.01-0.05/GB egress costs if you're in India, Singapore, or Australia.
All cheaper alternatives have lower specs (32GB RAM, 8 vCPU vs 64GB/16 vCPU); confirm your workload doesn't require the larger tier.
Linode and Fly.io specs are marked ESTIMATED or not directly confirmed; request current pricing before committing.
Heroku options (Standard-5 at $1400, Premium-12 Redis at $6500) are also vastly overpriced; avoid unless you need tight Heroku platform integration.
