Public Cloud Compute Instances · $39.42/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 50 GB NVMe)
OVHcloud's c3-4 at $39.42/mo is significantly more expensive than comparable alternatives, even after accounting for hidden costs and renewal traps. Multiple providers offer 2-4 vCPU / 2-8GB RAM plans at $5-10/mo with similar or better specs, though most require longer contract terms to hit advertised pricing.
Delivers 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 100GB SSD for $5.94/mo - double the RAM and vCPU of OVHcloud at 1/7th the price, with unlimited traffic and 200 Mbit/s port.
Caveat: Requires 24-month prepaid contract; shorter terms cost significantly more per month; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic may throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
Offers 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 40GB SSD, 20TB transfer for $6.49/mo - matches OVHcloud's RAM and vCPU count at 1/6th the price with far more generous bandwidth.
Caveat: Price excludes VAT; traffic overage charged per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; recent price increases on other product lines suggest potential future adjustments.
Provides 1 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 50GB NVMe, 4TB transfer for $6.49/mo intro rate - matches OVHcloud's storage and exceeds RAM at 1/6th the price.
Caveat: Intro price requires 12-24 month prepay; renewal jumps to $11.99/mo (2x higher); weekly (not daily) backups on base plan; free domain only year one.
Delivers 2 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 80GB NVMe for $4.33/mo - closest spec match to OVHcloud at 1/9th the price with unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s.
Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional (3-month or 1-year term); renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance charged at $0.036/GB; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each.
Offers 2 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 90GB NVMe for $5/mo intro - slightly better storage than OVHcloud's 50GB at 1/8th the price with unlimited traffic.
Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional (3-month or 1-year term); renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance charged at $0.036/GB; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each.
