Public Cloud Compute Instances · $44.17/mo (8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 50 GB NVMe)
OVHcloud's b3-8 at $44.17/mo is significantly more expensive than comparable alternatives. Several providers offer 8GB RAM + 2 vCPU configurations for $5.94-$13.68/mo, though most carry renewal-price traps and contract lock-ins. The best value depends on whether you prioritize lowest intro pricing or long-term stability.
Matches 8GB RAM and 4 vCPU (exceeds OVHcloud's 2 vCPU) with unlimited traffic for $5.94/mo on a 24-month term, representing massive savings.
Caveat: Quoted price requires 24-month prepay; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month, and fair-usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
Delivers 8GB RAM + 2 vCPU + 120GB NVMe (vs OVHcloud's 50GB) with 99.99% SLA for $13.68/mo, a 69% discount.
Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional; renewal rates are 2-6x higher after the contract period, and additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each.
Offers 4GB RAM + 2 vCPU + 120GB NVMe with unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbps for $6.67/mo, a strong value for light-to-moderate workloads.
Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional on a 1-year contract; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher, and outbound traffic beyond 2TB free allowance is metered at $0.036/GB.
Provides 4GB RAM + 2 vCPU + 40GB SSD with 20TB transfer for $6.49/mo and a 99.9% SLA, with no long-term contract required.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overage is billed per GB beyond the 20TB pool (as little as 0.5-1TB in non-EU regions), and recent price increases on CPX/CCX lines suggest future hikes are possible.
Upgrades to 8GB RAM + 4 vCPU + 150GB NVMe with unlimited traffic for $12.39/mo on a 24-month term, ideal if you need more CPU headroom.
Caveat: Requires 24-month prepay; shorter terms cost more per month, and support is ticket-only on lower tiers.
