Is OVHcloud's Business DB1-30 the best deal?

Managed Database - PostgreSQL · $1310.93/mo (30 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's Business DB1-30 is significantly overpriced for its specs. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior PostgreSQL managed databases at 12-76% lower cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas. The OVHcloud plan's 2-node setup and higher per-vCPU cost make it a poor value proposition.

DB-PRO2-XS

$158/mosave 88%

Entry-level PostgreSQL at 1/8 the OVHcloud price with 16GB RAM and 4 vCPU; scales up affordably if you need more capacity later.

Caveat: Only 50GB storage vs OVHcloud's 640GB-1.92TB; single-node by default, so lower HA than OVHcloud's 2-node setup.

Managed Databases OpenSearch General Purpose 16GB

$197/mosave 85%

Strong 99.99% SLA, 16GB RAM, 4 vCPU at 1/6 the OVHcloud cost; transparent bandwidth billing ($0.01/GB overage) with no region-based egress cliffs.

Caveat: Product name suggests OpenSearch focus; verify PostgreSQL is equally supported and performant.

MySQL CC-Reg 6vCPU/16GB

$240/mosave 82%

6 vCPU and 16GB RAM at 1/5 the OVHcloud price; 320GB disk and 100% network uptime SLA; no region-based egress surprises.

Caveat: MySQL-branded tier; confirm PostgreSQL variant exists at same price; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center.

Managed Databases 16GB Standard

$245/mosave 81%

16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 480GB disk, 300GB free transfer, built-in encryption at 1/5 the OVHcloud cost; 99.9% SLA.

Caveat: Data transfer overages are steep ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region); APAC regions may hit overage charges faster than OVHcloud's current free-egress window.

Managed Postgres Scale

$962/mosave 27%

32GB RAM (vs OVHcloud's 30GB), 4 vCPU, includes HA, backups, and connection pooling; only 27% cheaper but more feature-complete.

Caveat: Storage billed separately at $0.28/GB; regional pricing varies; no published platform SLA; cross-region traffic can be expensive ($0.12/GB in some regions).

Before you switch

OVHcloud's APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026; factor in $0.01-0.02/GB overage costs if you're in India, Singapore, or Australia.
Scaleway and DigitalOcean are best for low-to-medium storage; if you need OVHcloud's 640GB-1.92TB, compare total cost including storage add-ons.
Verify PostgreSQL support and feature parity (replication, backups, failover) on Vultr and DigitalOcean before migrating; some tiers may have different capabilities.
AWS Lightsail's 300GB free transfer is generous, but APAC regions and sustained high egress can trigger steep per-GB overages; calculate your actual egress needs.
Fly.io's per-region pricing and snapshot/volume costs can add up; request a detailed cost breakdown for your workload before committing.
