Is OVHcloud's b3-640 the best deal?

Public Cloud Compute Instances · $3525.17/mo (640 GB RAM, 160 vCPU, 400 GB NVMe)

Better deals exist

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.

Cloud Servers - Premium PREMIUM-80xCPU-512GB

$2772.26/mosave 21.4%

512GB RAM (vs OVH's 640GB) at 21% lower cost, with 99.999% SLA and current-gen AMD EPYC, plus MaxIOPS SSD storage is faster than OVH's NVMe for most workloads.

Caveat: Backup add-ons (10-60% surcharge) and data transfer overages beyond Fair Policy can add hidden costs; MaxIOPS SSD pricing model differs from standard tiers.

VX1 GP 96vCPU/384GB (Block Storage)

$2102.4/mosave 40.3%

40% cheaper than OVHcloud with 384GB RAM and 96 vCPU; includes 10TB monthly transfer and 100% network uptime SLA.

Caveat: Significantly fewer vCPUs (96 vs 160) and less RAM (384GB vs 640GB); bandwidth overage rates vary by data center and Windows licensing not included.

Virtual Machines D96s_v5

$3363.84/mosave 4.6%

Nearly identical price to OVHcloud but with 99.99% SLA, 384GB RAM, and 96 vCPU on current-gen hardware; better for hybrid/enterprise workloads.

Caveat: Fewer vCPUs (96 vs 160) and less RAM (384GB vs 640GB); Windows license surcharge, egress billing above 100GB/month, and Premium SSD/Ultra Disk IOPS billed separately.

Dedicated CPU Compute G8 Dedicated 512x128

$4993.2/mo

Highest specs (512GB RAM, 128 vCPU, 7.2TB NVMe) with dedicated CPU and 12TB monthly transfer; best for performance-critical workloads.

Caveat: 41% more expensive than OVHcloud; bandwidth overages at $0.005-0.015/GB and backup add-ons (20-25% surcharge) can significantly increase total cost.

Before you switch

Verify exact vCPU and RAM requirements: OVH's 160 vCPU/640GB is substantially larger than most alternatives; downsize may not be viable for your workload.
Confirm Windows licensing costs upfront: OVH charges $0.039/vCore/hour; Vultr and Azure also add surcharges on top of base price.
Check APAC region impact: OVH loses free egress in APAC after mid-2026; if you're in India/Singapore/Australia, factor in future egress costs.
Review bandwidth allowances and overage rates: Vultr, UpCloud, and Linode all have per-GB overages once free tier exhausted; model your actual egress.
Validate backup and add-on costs: UpCloud backups add 10-60%, Linode backups add 20-25%; these can quickly erode headline savings.
Confirm SLA requirements: UpCloud offers 99.999% vs OVH's implied lower SLA; verify if this justifies the cost difference for your use case.
