Public Cloud Compute Instances · $88.18/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100 GB NVMe)
OVHcloud's b3-16 at $88.18/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM configurations at $5.94–$24.88/mo with comparable or better storage and bandwidth. Even accounting for hidden costs and renewal traps, you're paying 3–15x more for only a modest RAM upgrade (16GB vs 8GB).
Identical 4 vCPU, 100GB NVMe, and unlimited traffic for 1/15th the price; 24-month prepay locks in the rate.
Caveat: Shorter contract terms (1–12 months) cost significantly more per month; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth abuse; ticket-only support on base tier.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 200GB NVMe (more storage than OVH), unmetered bandwidth, and $60 gift card promo for 1/10th the price.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2–4x after intro term (e.g. $9.99–$15.99/mo); 36-month prepay required for lowest advertised rate; domain and add-ons carry hidden upsells.
2 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 100GB NVMe with 8TB transfer and weekly backups for 1/10th the price; AMD EPYC processor.
Caveat: Renewal price is 2–4x higher ($14.99/mo); intro rate requires 12–48 month prepay; only 2 vCPU vs OVH's 4, so less compute power.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 160GB NVMe, 5TB transfer, and DDoS protection for 1/9th the price on 3-year contract.
Caveat: Renewal price is 2–4x higher (~$11.99/mo); lowest intro prices require 24–36 month upfront payment; 1-year promo variant ($5.99/mo) pricing not fully reconciled.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer for 1/9th the price; no long-term contract lock-in required.
Caveat: Traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB in EU (as low as 0.5–1TB in USA/Singapore); CX line saw ~1.3–1.4x price increase in June 2026; VAT excluded from listed prices.
