Metal Instances · $397.85/mo (32 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
OVHcloud's bm-s1 at $397.85/mo is a bare-metal instance with enterprise-grade specs, but it sits in a different category than the VPS/cloud alternatives listed. If you need true bare-metal performance, this is reasonable; if you can work with virtualized cloud servers, you'll find 10-50x cheaper options with comparable or better specs and lower renewal-price shock.
24GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 450GB NVMe, unlimited traffic at 1/12th the OVHcloud price with no per-IPv4 surcharge or region-based egress penalties.
Caveat: Quoted price is for 24-month prepaid term; 1 or 12-month terms cost more per month, and fair-usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 160GB SSD, 20TB transfer included, significantly cheaper and no Windows license or IPv4 surcharges.
Caveat: Specs are lower (16GB vs 32GB RAM, 160GB vs 1.92TB storage); traffic overages billed per GB in non-EU regions; VAT not included in listed price.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 480GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s, and 99.99% SLA at 1/18th the cost.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 1-year promotional rate; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 260GB NVMe, unlimited transfer, DDoS protection, and 99.9% SLA at 1/20th the OVHcloud price.
Caveat: Renewal price is 2-4x higher (intro is 3-year contract rate); lowest intro prices require 24-36 month prepay.
4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 250GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, full root access, Docker/KVM support, and 100% SLA.
Caveat: Only 4 vCPU vs OVHcloud's 4 vCPU (specs match), but renewal price jumps significantly after intro term; no hourly billing option.
