Public Cloud Compute Instances · $61.1/mo (7 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 50 GB SSD)
OVHcloud's b2-7 at $61.1/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs offered. Multiple providers deliver equal or superior compute, RAM, and storage at 10-20% of the cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas. The main trade-off is that most cheaper alternatives use intro pricing with steep renewal rates, so long-term cost depends heavily on contract length.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100GB SSD, unlimited traffic at 1/10th the price; 24-month contract locks in rate and avoids renewal shock.
Caveat: Price is effective only on 24-month prepaid term; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 40GB SSD, 20TB transfer included; no long-term contract required, stable month-to-month pricing, 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Traffic overage charged per GB beyond 20TB in EU (as low as 0.5-1TB in USA/Singapore); VAT excluded from listed price; recent large price increases on CPX/CCX lines (2.4-2.75x) suggest future hikes possible.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 120GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s; 99.99% SLA matches OVHcloud's reliability.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a promotional rate on 1-year contract; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance is metered.
6GB RAM, 1 OCPU (ARM Ampere), per-second billing with no minimum commitment; always-free tier available for light workloads.
Caveat: ARM-based CPU (not x86) may require app recompilation; Block Volume performance (VPU) billed separately; Archive Storage has 90-day minimum retention and retrieval fees.
6GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 120GB SSD, 3TB transfer; unmanaged by default but includes user-responsible support.
Caveat: Renewal pricing substantially higher than intro rate; unmanaged by default (add $10-25/mo for managed options); SLA undefined; no NVMe storage.
