Is OVHcloud's r3-128 the best deal?

Public Cloud Compute Instances · $456.98/mo (128 GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 400 GB NVMe)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's r3-128 at $456.98/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 64GB RAM with 16 vCPU for $40-$150/mo, and even 128GB RAM options exist at lower cost. The OVHcloud plan's hidden costs (IPv4 billing, Windows license surcharges, future egress changes) make it even less attractive.

Cloud VPS 16

$39.96/mosave 91%

Delivers 16 vCPU and 64GB RAM for $39.96/mo with unlimited traffic, a 91% savings versus OVHcloud's $456.98.

Caveat: Price locks in only on 24-month prepay; 1-12 month terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy may throttle sustained high bandwidth.

AX42 Dedicated

$49/mosave 89%

Dedicated server with 8 vCPU, 64GB DDR5 ECC RAM, and 1.92TB NVMe for $49/mo, plus 20TB included traffic in EU.

Caveat: Setup fee rising to 79 EUR in 2026; fewer vCPU cores than OVHcloud (8 vs 16); prices exclude VAT; traffic overages charged per GB outside EU.

Cloud VPS Plus 16

$72.52/mosave 84%

16 vCPU, 64GB RAM, 750GB NVMe, and unlimited traffic for $72.52/mo on 24-month term, saving 84% versus OVHcloud.

Caveat: 24-month prepay required for this rate; shorter terms cost more; fair usage policy applies to unlimited traffic.

Memory Cube XL

$90/mosave 80%

16 vCPU, 64GB RAM, 960GB NVMe for $90/mo with 99.99% SLA and 2TB free outbound data per month.

Caveat: Additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each; Windows/RHEL licensing adds per-vCPU surcharges; outbound data beyond 2TB tiered at $0.036-0.018/GB.

Dell R740XD Dedicated

$166.7/mosave 63%

128GB RAM (matching OVHcloud), 12 vCPU, 1.92TB SSD, and 99.9% SLA for $166.70/mo promo price, saving 63%.

Caveat: Promo price (regular EUR 192.94/mo); only 12 vCPU vs OVHcloud's 16; prices exclude VAT; delivery 1-5 days depending on stock.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's 128GB tier is a poor value; most competitors offer comparable or better specs at 60-80% lower cost.
Contabo's lowest prices require 24-month prepay; verify the 1 or 12-month renewal cost before committing.
Hetzner and Leaseweb prices exclude VAT; add 19-21% for final EU pricing.
Check whether you need 16 vCPU or if 8-12 cores suffice; many cheaper options have fewer cores but still outperform on price-to-performance.
Confirm OVHcloud's future egress billing in APAC regions (free status ends 2026-06-01 to 2026-12-31) if you use that region.
Factor in Windows licensing surcharges on OVHcloud ($0.039/vCore/hour) and IONOS if you plan to run Windows Server.
