Public Cloud Compute Instances · $176.3/mo (32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 200 GB NVMe)
OVHcloud's b3-32 at $176.30/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 8 vCPU / 16-24GB RAM configurations at $15-35/mo with comparable or better storage and network performance. Even accounting for renewal-price traps and hidden costs, the savings are substantial.
8 vCPU, 24GB RAM, 300GB SSD, unlimited traffic at 1/11th the OVHcloud price; 24-month contract locks in rate.
Caveat: Shorter contract terms (1-12 months) cost significantly more per month; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 160GB SSD, 20TB transfer included; German data center with strong reputation; 90% cheaper than OVHcloud.
Caveat: Traffic overages billed per GB beyond 20TB pool in EU (much lower in USA/Singapore); VAT not included; recent large price increases on CPX/CCX lines suggest future hikes possible.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 480GB NVMe, unlimited traffic (1 Gbit/s); 99.99% SLA matches or beats OVHcloud; 87% cheaper.
Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional (3-month to 1-year contract); renewal pricing 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each; outbound traffic beyond 2TB pooled allowance is metered.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 260GB NVMe, unlimited transfer, DDoS protection; 3-year intro rate locks in savings.
Caveat: Renewal price 2-4x higher (likely $40-80/mo); requires 24-36 month prepay for lowest intro rate; free domain only first year.
8 vCPU, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 450GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth; includes $75 Amazon gift card; 90% cheaper than OVHcloud.
Caveat: Steep renewal increases after intro term; requires 36-month contract for lowest advertised price; aggressive upsell prompts during checkout; free domain only first year.
