Is OVHcloud's b3-512 the best deal?

Public Cloud Compute Instances · $2820.72/mo (512 GB RAM, 128 vCPU, 400 GB NVMe)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's b3-512 is significantly overpriced for its specs. Multiple providers offer 256GB RAM / 64 vCPU configurations at less than half the cost, and even comparable 512GB options exist at lower monthly rates. The OVHcloud plan's high per-vCore Windows licensing, regional egress restrictions post-2026, and separate IPv4 billing add hidden friction.

Managed cPanel 256GB

$916.25/mosave 67.5%

Delivers 256GB RAM and 64 vCPU for one-third the OVHcloud price, with nearly 2TB NVMe and 8TB bandwidth included.

Caveat: Renewal rates reported at 2-3x introductory; requires 12/24/36-month prepay for best pricing; medium confidence sourcing.

GEX131

$989/mosave 65%

256GB RAM, 1920GB NVMe RAID1, and an RTX PRO 6000 GPU for under 1000 USD, saving 1830 USD monthly versus OVHcloud.

Caveat: VAT excluded from listed price; traffic overages charged per GB in non-EU regions; recent large price increases on other product lines signal potential future hikes.

VX1 GP 64vCPU/256GB

$1401.6/mosave 50.4%

256GB RAM and 64 vCPU at half OVHcloud's price with 10TB transfer and 100% network uptime SLA.

Caveat: Windows licensing not included; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center location.

GP 256GB (Linux, IPv6)

$1760/mosave 37.6%

256GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 1280GB SSD, and 10TB transfer at 62% less than OVHcloud, with 99.9% SLA.

Caveat: Data transfer overage varies by AWS region (0.09-0.132 USD/GB); Windows bundles cost 70-90% more.

PREMIUM-80xCPU-512GB

$2772.26/mosave 1.7%

Matches OVHcloud's 512GB RAM and exceeds vCPU count (80 vs 128), with 99.999% SLA and MaxIOPS SSD.

Caveat: Backup add-ons range 10-60% surcharge; Fair Transfer Policy overages can apply despite free-egress marketing.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's 128 vCPU spec is duplicated in the tier description; verify actual provisioned vCPU count before purchase.
Confirm whether OVHcloud's APAC free-egress cutoff (June-December 2026) affects your region and workload.
IPv4 address billing on OVHcloud is separate; factor in per-instance costs if you need multiple addresses.
A2 Hosting renewal rates spike 2-3x after intro period; lock in a 36-month term if committing.
Hetzner's recent CCX/CPX price increases (2.1-2.75x in June 2026) suggest monitoring for further adjustments.
Vultr and AWS Lightsail bandwidth overages can escalate quickly; confirm your typical egress volume.
