OVHcloud d2-2: Better Deal Comparison

Comparing prices across every provider we track...

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's d2-2 at $8.98/mo is significantly overpriced compared to stronger-spec alternatives in the $2-6/mo range. Multiple providers offer 2GB RAM with better storage or more vCPUs at a fraction of the cost, though you'll need to watch for renewal traps and hidden fees.

VPS Hosting NVMe 2

$2.09/mosave 77%

Matches OVHcloud's 2GB RAM and adds 50GB NVMe (vs 25GB local disk) plus unmetered bandwidth, all at 77% lower cost.

Caveat: Intro pricing only; renewal jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo after contract term, and domain/privacy freebies expire after year one.

VPS Hosting VPS S+

$5/mosave 44%

Doubles your vCPU (2 cores) and RAM (2GB) with 90GB NVMe storage and unlimited traffic for 44% less than OVHcloud.

Caveat: Intro pricing; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher after contract period; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each.

Cloud VPS XS

$2/mosave 78%

Cheapest option with 1GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 10GB NVMe, and unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s; saves 78% vs OVHcloud.

Caveat: Intro pricing on 1-year contract; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each.

Cloud Servers Starter STARTER-1xCPU-1GB

$3.5/mosave 61%

1GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 10GB SSD at 61% savings, with industry-leading 99.999% SLA and no region-based egress restrictions.

Caveat: Backups are a separate add-on (10-60% surcharge); data transfer overages may apply despite fair-use policy marketing.

Droplets Basic 1GB

$6/mosave 33%

1GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 25GB SSD, 1TB transfer at 33% savings with transparent pricing and 99.99% SLA.

Caveat: Bandwidth overages charged at $0.01/GB; no 2GB RAM option at this price tier.

Before you switch

OVHcloud charges IPv4 addresses separately per instance and will lose free egress in APAC regions after mid-2026; verify your region and egress needs.
Most cheaper alternatives (IONOS, Bluehost) use aggressive intro pricing with 2-6x renewal increases; calculate true 24-month cost before committing.
Bluehost and Namecheap require longer contract terms (36 months) to hit advertised low prices; shorter terms cost significantly more.
If you need 2GB RAM specifically, IONOS VPS S+ ($5/mo) and Bluehost NVMe 2 ($2.09/mo intro) both beat OVHcloud but verify renewal rates.
OVHcloud's Windows license surcharge ($0.039/vCore/hour) adds ~$28/mo if running Windows; confirm your OS choice before comparing.
