Public Cloud Compute Instances · $343.25/mo (30 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 200 GB SSD)
OVHcloud's c2-30 at $343.25/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 8 vCPU / 16-24GB RAM configurations at $15-35/mo with better or comparable storage and no hidden Windows license surcharges. Even accounting for renewal-price traps and contract terms, the alternatives deliver 10-20x better value.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 160GB SSD, 20TB transfer included; no per-vCPU license surcharges like OVHcloud Windows tax.
Caveat: Price excludes VAT; traffic overages billed per GB outside included pool; recent large price increases on CPX/CCX lines suggest future hikes possible.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 480GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s; 99.99% SLA matches or beats OVHcloud.
Caveat: Renewal pricing 2-6x higher after 1-year contract; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each; outbound traffic beyond 2TB pooled allowance metered.
8 vCPU, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 450GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth; includes $75 Amazon gift card promo.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-4x after intro term; requires 36-month contract for lowest advertised rate; domain/privacy add-ons billed after year one.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 260GB NVMe, unlimited transfer, DDoS protection; 3-year intro rate locks in value.
Caveat: Renewal price 2-4x higher after intro period; lowest intro prices require 24-36 month upfront payment; domain credit only first year.
