Is OVHcloud's r3-1024 the best deal?

Public Cloud Compute Instances · $3649.27/mo (1024 GB RAM, 128 vCPU, 400 GB NVMe)

Better deals exist

The OVHcloud r3-1024 is significantly overpriced for its specs. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior configurations at 50-65% lower cost, with better SLAs and more transparent pricing. Even accounting for hidden costs, switching would save $1,500-2,000/month.

VX1 Mem 64vCPU/512GB

$1868.8/mosave 49%

Half the price of OVHcloud with 512GB RAM and 64 vCPU; includes 10TB transfer and 100% network uptime SLA.

Caveat: Half the vCPU and RAM compared to r3-1024; Windows licensing and bandwidth overages not included in base price.

Virtual Servers Mem 512GB Linux

$2340/mosave 36%

36% cheaper than OVHcloud with 512GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 1280GB SSD storage, and 10TB transfer included.

Caveat: 99.9% SLA vs OVHcloud's implicit higher tier; data transfer overage rates vary by region and can add up quickly.

PREMIUM-80xCPU-512GB

$2772.26/mosave 24%

24% cheaper with 512GB RAM, 80 vCPU, MaxIOPS SSD, and industry-leading 99.999% SLA; current-gen AMD EPYC.

Caveat: Backup add-ons (10-60% surcharge) and Fair Transfer Policy overages can erode savings; still half the RAM of r3-1024.

BM.Standard.E4.128 Bare Metal

$2803.2/mosave 23%

23% cheaper with 2x the RAM (2048GB), 2x the vCPU (256), and bare metal dedicated hardware; 99.95% SLA.

Caveat: Block Volume performance (VPU) billed separately; Archive Storage has 90-day minimum retention and high retrieval fees.

Virtual Machines E64s_v5

$2943.36/mosave 19%

19% cheaper with 512GB RAM, 64 vCPU, and 99.99% SLA; Premium SSD/Ultra Disk options available.

Caveat: Windows Server license surcharge; outbound bandwidth billed above 100GB/month; storage tiers carry early-deletion penalties.

Before you switch

OVHcloud r3-1024 specs show duplicate vCPU/RAM/storage fields; verify actual configuration before purchase.
Confirm whether you need 1024GB RAM and 128 vCPU or if 512GB/64-80 vCPU alternatives meet your workload.
Factor in Windows licensing ($0.039/vCore/hour on OVHcloud = ~$287/mo for 128 vCPU) if required; most alternatives also charge separately.
OVHcloud APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; verify your region and plan for egress costs.
Compare total cost of ownership including backups, snapshots, and data transfer overages for your actual usage pattern.
