Managed Database - MySQL · $384.27/mo (8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Production B3-8 at $384.27/mo is significantly overpriced for a managed database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (8GB RAM, 2 vCPU) at 20-80% lower cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas. Even accounting for hidden costs, you can save $200-300/month by switching.
Matches your 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU spec at just $80/mo with 99.9-99.99% SLA and minimal hidden costs.
Caveat: Non-HA single node; Object Storage egress charged after 75GB free tier; pricing shown in EUR so conversion rates apply.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 99.99% SLA; 1-year reserved instances cut this to ~$59/mo (62% savings), and 3-year to ~$43/mo (89% savings).
Caveat: Compute-only estimate excludes storage; outbound bandwidth billed above 100GB/month; Premium SSD IOPS charged separately.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU with HA, backups, and connection pooling included; strong feature set for production workloads.
Caveat: Storage billed separately at $0.28/GB; pricing varies by region; extra RAM and cross-region traffic carry per-GB overages; no published platform SLA.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU at $60/mo with exceptional 99.999% SLA; single-node but rock-solid uptime guarantee.
Caveat: Only 50GB storage vs OVHcloud's 160-800GB; backups add 10-60% surcharge; data transfer overages possible despite free-egress marketing.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB disk at $60/mo with 100% network uptime SLA; straightforward pricing and no Windows license surprises.
Caveat: Half the RAM of OVHcloud tier; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; storage is smaller.
