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. Several providers offer 2-4GB RAM with 2 vCPU for $5-7/mo, though most require longer contract terms to hit advertised pricing.
Delivers 8GB RAM and 4 vCPU for $5.94/mo - double OVHcloud's specs at one-third the price, with unlimited traffic and 200 Mbit/s port.
Caveat: Requires 24-month prepaid contract; shorter terms cost significantly more per month, and fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
Matches OVHcloud's 2 vCPU and 2GB RAM for $4.33/mo with 80GB NVMe and unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo on 1-year contract; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher, and outbound data beyond 2TB free allowance is metered at $0.036/GB.
Offers 2 vCPU, 2GB RAM, and 90GB NVMe for $5/mo with unlimited traffic, slightly better storage than OVHcloud.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo on 1-year contract; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher, and outbound data beyond 2TB free allowance is metered.
Provides 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM (exceeds OVHcloud), 40GB SSD, and 20TB monthly transfer for $6.49/mo with strong uptime.
Caveat: VAT excluded from listed price; traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; recent price increases on other lines suggest potential future adjustments.
Delivers 1 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 50GB NVMe, and 4TB transfer for $6.49/mo on AMD EPYC with weekly backups.
Caveat: Intro price requires 12/24/48-month prepay; renewal jumps to $11.99/mo (85% increase), and monthly billing is significantly higher than multi-month terms.
