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. Multiple providers offer 2-4 vCPU with 2-8GB RAM for $5-10/mo, making OVHcloud roughly 4-8x pricier for similar specs. The main trade-off is that OVHcloud targets enterprise/production workloads with higher reliability, while cheaper alternatives are better suited for development or small projects.
Offers 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.
Caveat: Requires 24-month prepaid contract to hit this rate; 1-month terms are significantly higher. SLA is 99.90% vs OVHcloud's implied enterprise SLA.
Delivers 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 40GB SSD, 20TB transfer for $6.49/mo - matches OVHcloud's RAM/vCPU at 1/6th the cost.
Caveat: Price excludes VAT; traffic overage charges apply beyond 20TB EU pool. Recent price increases (June 2026) on other lines suggest potential future hikes.
Provides 1 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 50GB NVMe, 4TB transfer for $6.49/mo intro - matches OVHcloud's storage and RAM at 1/6th the price.
Caveat: Intro price requires 12-24 month prepay; renewal jumps to $11.99/mo (still 3x cheaper than OVHcloud). Weekly backups only on base plan.
Offers 2 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 80GB NVMe, unlimited traffic for $4.33/mo - closest spec match at 1/9th the OVHcloud price.
Caveat: Intro pricing on 1-year contract; renewal can be 2-6x higher. Additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each. Data transfer beyond 2TB pooled allowance is metered.
Provides 1 OCPU (ARM), 6GB RAM with per-second billing and always-free tier eligibility for $8.76/mo - good for variable workloads.
Caveat: ARM architecture may require app recompilation. Block Volume performance and storage billed separately. Archive storage has 90-day minimum retention.
