Public Cloud Compute Instances · $170.24/mo (15 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100 GB SSD)
OVHcloud's c2-15 at $170.24/mo is significantly overpriced for a 4vCPU/15GB instance. Multiple providers offer 4vCPU/8GB configurations for $5.94-$11.50/mo with comparable or better specs, though most carry renewal-price traps and contract lock-ins. Even accounting for hidden costs, you're paying 15-28x more than necessary.
4vCPU, 8GB RAM, 100GB SSD, unlimited traffic at 1/28th the OVHcloud price with no per-IPv4 surcharges.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepay; 1-12 month terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth; ticket-only support on base tier.
4vCPU, 8GB RAM, 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer included, no Windows license surcharges, and strong 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overages billed per GB outside included pool; recent large price increases on other product lines suggest future hikes possible.
4vCPU, 8GB RAM, 240GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s, and 99.99% SLA matching enterprise standards.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 1-year promotional rate; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each; outbound data beyond 2TB free pool is metered.
4vCPU, 8GB DDR5 RAM, 200GB NVMe (larger than OVHcloud), unmetered bandwidth, and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Requires 36-month prepay for advertised price; renewal jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo; domain and privacy are free only year one; aggressive add-on upsells during checkout.
4vCPU, 8GB RAM, 160GB NVMe, 5TB transfer, 1 Gbps port, and built-in DDoS protection.
Caveat: Renewal pricing is 2-4x higher than intro rate; lowest prices require 24-36 month upfront commitment; free domain only year one.
