Is OVHcloud's Cold Archive the best deal?

Object Storage · $0/mo

Best in class

OVHcloud's Cold Archive tier offers zero base monthly cost, making it unbeatable for pure storage pricing in the archive segment. However, the $0.011/GiB retrieval fee, 180-day minimum lock-in, and early-deletion penalties mean total cost-of-ownership depends heavily on your access patterns and retention strategy.

Before you switch

Verify your actual data retrieval frequency: at $0.011/GiB, a single full restore of 10 TiB costs $110+, which may exceed competitor all-in pricing if you retrieve often
Confirm the 180-day minimum storage duration and early-deletion penalty formula in your contract; exiting early could be expensive
Note that France (Paris) region lock limits you to EU data residency; check if you need multi-region redundancy or failover
After 2026-06-01/2026-12-31, outbound traffic from APAC regions loses free-egress status; budget for egress costs if you plan to serve data globally
Compare against AWS Glacier Deep Archive ($0.0036/GiB retrieval, 180-day minimum) and Azure Archive ($0.002/GiB retrieval, 180-day minimum) if you have flexibility on region or can tolerate longer retrieval times
