Public Cloud Compute Instances · $17.81/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 50 GB local disk)
OVHcloud's d2-4 at $17.81/mo is significantly more expensive than comparable alternatives, even after accounting for hidden costs and renewal traps. Multiple providers offer 2-4GB RAM with 2 vCPU for $2-6/mo, though most require longer contract terms or have steep renewal pricing.
Delivers 8GB RAM and 4 vCPU (double OVHcloud's specs) for $5.94/mo with unlimited traffic and 200 Mbit/s port, making it exceptional value per core.
Caveat: Price requires 24-month prepaid contract; shorter terms cost significantly more, and fair usage policy may throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
Offers 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 40GB SSD, and 20TB monthly transfer for $6.49/mo with no per-IPv4 surcharge and transparent pricing.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overage charged per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; recent price increases on other lines suggest future hikes possible.
Matches OVHcloud's 2 vCPU and 2GB RAM for $4.33/mo with 80GB NVMe and 1 Gbit/s unlimited traffic, undercutting on both specs and price.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo on 1-year contract; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each.
Lowest sticker price at $2.09/mo for 2GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 50GB NVMe SSD with unmetered bandwidth and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Requires 36-month prepaid term to achieve this price; renewal jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo; domain and privacy are free only year one, then billed separately.
Upgrades to 90GB NVMe storage versus IONOS Cloud VPS S for only $0.67 more, with identical 2 vCPU/2GB RAM and unlimited traffic.
Caveat: Same renewal trap as Cloud VPS S (2-6x higher after promo); additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each.
