Managed Database - PostgreSQL · $127.17/mo (7 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Essential DB1-7 is significantly overpriced for PostgreSQL. Multiple providers offer 4GB RAM / 2 vCPU managed PostgreSQL at $50-70/mo with better or comparable specs, storage, and SLAs. You can save 50-70% by switching to UpCloud, Heroku, or Render.
Half the price of OVHcloud with 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, and industry-leading 99.999% SLA; storage is smaller (50GB vs 160-480GB) but sufficient for most workloads.
Caveat: Simple Backups add-on surcharges (10-60% depending on frequency) and data transfer overages despite free-egress marketing can add hidden costs.
Cheapest option at $50/mo for 4GB RAM, 64GB disk, with 99.5% SLA and no separate IPv4 charges; includes connection pooling and managed backups.
Caveat: Postgres Essential tier (cheaper) has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; add-on overages can force unplanned tier upgrades; Advanced tier pricing requires sales contact.
$55/mo for 4GB RAM with 99.95% SLA and second-level billing granularity; includes managed backups and no separate IPv4 fees.
Caveat: Storage overages billed at ~$0.30/GB/month; persistent disk storage billed separately; bandwidth overage rate (~$0.15/GB) not officially published.
$60/mo for 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 120GB disk with 99.9% SLA and 100GB monthly transfer included; data encrypted by default.
Caveat: Data transfer overage varies sharply by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); Windows bundles cost 70-90% more; no PostgreSQL explicitly listed in candidate tier name.
$60/mo for 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB disk with 100% network uptime SLA; no separate IPv4 charges mentioned.
Caveat: Candidate tier is MySQL, not PostgreSQL; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows license surcharge applies if needed.
