Managed Database - PostgreSQL · $169/mo (8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-8 at $169/mo is significantly overpriced for a single-node PostgreSQL database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (8GB RAM, 2 vCPU) at 50-65% lower cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas. The OVHcloud plan's main advantage is storage capacity (160-800GB), but that flexibility doesn't justify the premium.
Matches your 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU spec at less than half the price, with 99.9-99.99% SLA and European data residency.
Caveat: Only 20GB SSD included (vs 160-800GB on OVHcloud); storage expansion pricing not clearly published; non-HA means single point of failure.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 99.99% SLA, and significant discounts available (38% off 1-yr, 55% off 3-yr reserved instances).
Caveat: Storage billed separately (not included in $95 estimate); outbound bandwidth charged above 100GB/month; Premium SSD IOPS billed separately.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU with built-in HA, automated backups, and connection pooling included; no single-node limitation.
Caveat: 67% more expensive than OVHcloud; storage billed separately at $0.28/GB; regional pricing varies; no published platform SLA.
Industry-leading 99.999% SLA, 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU at 60% discount; simple pricing with no Windows license surprises.
Caveat: Only 50GB storage (vs 160-800GB on OVHcloud); backups are a percentage surcharge (10-60% depending on frequency); data transfer overages possible despite 'free egress' marketing.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB SSD, 99.99% SLA at 62% savings; straightforward managed database with no regional egress cliffs.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; outbound bandwidth charged at $0.005/GB after allowance; backups are a separate add-on (~$13-16/mo).
