Is OVHcloud's b2-30 the best deal?

Public Cloud Compute Instances · $233.89/mo (30 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 200 GB SSD)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's b2-30 at $233.89/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 8 vCPU / 16-24GB RAM configurations at $15-35/mo with better or comparable storage and no hidden Windows license surcharges. Even accounting for renewal-price traps and contract terms, you'll save 75-90% in year one.

Cloud VPS 8

$15.12/mosave 93.5%

8 vCPU, 24GB RAM, 300GB SSD, unlimited traffic at 1/15th the OVHcloud price; 24-month contract locks in rate.

Caveat: Shorter 1 or 12-month terms cost more per month; ticket-only support on base tier; fair-usage policy on unlimited traffic.

CX43

$18.49/mosave 92.1%

8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 160GB SSD, 20TB transfer included; no per-vCore license surcharges like OVHcloud's Windows tax.

Caveat: Traffic overages billed per GB outside EU; VAT not included in listed price; recent large price increases on other CX lines suggest future hikes possible.

NVMe 16

$17.67/mosave 92.4%

8 vCPU, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 450GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth; includes $75 Amazon gift card bonus; 99.99% SLA beats OVHcloud's 99.9%.

Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-4x after intro term; requires 36-month prepay for lowest advertised rate; domain and add-ons upsold aggressively.

Cloud VPS XL

$22/mosave 90.6%

8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 480GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s; 99.99% SLA; no per-vCore license surcharges.

Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional (3-month or 1-year contract); renewal pricing 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance is metered at $0.036/GB.

VPS 8 vCPU

$19.99/mosave 91.4%

8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 260GB NVMe, unlimited transfer, DDoS protection; 3-year intro rate locks in low cost.

Caveat: Renewal price 2-4x higher after intro term; requires 24-36 month prepay for lowest rate; free domain only first year.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's $233.89/mo is a monthly on-demand rate; verify if you need hourly/pay-as-you-go flexibility or can commit to a longer term for a discount.
All five alternatives require multi-month prepay (12-36 months) to hit advertised intro prices; renewal rates are typically 2-4x higher, so budget accordingly after year one.
Contabo and Hetzner quote prices excluding VAT in some regions; confirm final tax-inclusive cost for your location.
OVHcloud charges separately for IPv4 addresses and Windows licenses ($0.039/vCore/hour); verify whether competitors' pricing includes these or if they're add-ons too.
APAC outbound traffic on OVHcloud loses free-egress status after mid-2026; if you're in India/Singapore/Australia, confirm egress costs before committing to OVHcloud.
