Public Cloud Compute Instances · $3525.17/mo (640 GB RAM, 160 vCPU, 400 GB NVMe)
OVHcloud's b3-640 is significantly overpriced for its specs. UpCloud and Vultr offer substantially better value at lower monthly costs with comparable or superior performance, though you'll need to verify exact vCPU/RAM matching and hidden cost exposure for your workload.
512GB RAM (vs 640GB) and 80 vCPU (vs 160 vCPU) at 21% lower cost with 99.999% SLA and MaxIOPS SSD storage, ideal if you don't need the full 160 vCPU.
Caveat: Backup add-ons (10-60% surcharge) and data transfer overages beyond Fair Transfer Policy can erode savings; verify your actual vCPU/RAM requirements match this tier.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vultr | VX1 · GP 96vCPU/384GB (Block Storage) | $2102.4/mo | 384 GB RAM, 96 vCPU | Visit |
| UpCloud | Cloud Servers - Premium · PREMIUM-80xCPU-512GB | $2772.26/mo | 512 GB RAM, 80 vCPU, 500 GB MaxIOPS SSD | Visit |
| Microsoft Azure | Virtual Machines · D96s_v5 | $3363.84/mo | 384 GB RAM, 96 vCPU |
Lowest sticker price at 40% savings with 96 vCPU and 384GB RAM; includes 10TB transfer and 100% network uptime SLA.
Caveat: Significantly lower vCPU (96 vs 160) and RAM (384GB vs 640GB) means this is only viable if your workload doesn't require the full OVHcloud spec; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center and Windows licensing is separate.
Closest spec match at 96 vCPU/384GB RAM with only 4.6% savings and 99.99% SLA; good if you're already in Azure ecosystem.
Caveat: Outbound bandwidth billed above 100GB/month; Premium SSD IOPS/throughput charged separately; Windows license surcharge on top; total cost of ownership likely higher than sticker price suggests.
Only option with higher specs (512GB RAM, 128 vCPU, 7200GB NVMe) if you need more capacity, though it costs 42% more.
Caveat: Significantly more expensive; bandwidth overages at $0.005-0.015/GB; backups are a separate 20-25% add-on; only justified if you genuinely need the extra resources.
