Is OVHcloud's r3-256 the best deal?

Public Cloud Compute Instances · $912.5/mo (256 GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 400 GB NVMe)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's r3-256 at $912.50/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple dedicated server and cloud alternatives offer 128GB RAM, 24-32 vCPU, and comparable or superior storage at less than half the cost, with clearer pricing and no surprise Windows license surcharges.

AX102 Dedicated Root Server

$99/mosave 89%

128GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 3840GB NVMe for $99/mo - nearly 10x cheaper than OVHcloud with more storage and no per-vCore license fees.

Caveat: Setup fee rising to 79 EUR in 2026; price flagged as not confirmed - verify current pricing before committing.

AMD Genoa 24 Cores Dedicated

$215/mosave 76%

128GB RAM, 24 vCPU, 2TB SSD, unlimited traffic for $214.92/mo - 4x cheaper with no hidden Windows surcharges and transparent unlimited bandwidth.

Dell R7525 Dedicated

$276/mosave 70%

128GB RAM, 24 vCPU, 1920GB SSD for $276.33/mo - 3.3x cheaper with dual EPYC 7413 processors and 99.9% SLA.

Premium NVMe 128 Dedicated

$312/mosave 66%

32 vCPU, 128GB DDR5 RAM, 3000GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth for $312.19/mo - matches OVHcloud's vCPU count at 3x lower cost with 99.99% SLA.

High-Performance Cloud Dedicated (Linux)

$532/mosave 42%

32 vCPU, 128GB RAM, 3.2TB SSD RAID-10, 10TB transfer for $532/mo - still 41% cheaper than OVHcloud with managed support and 100% uptime SLA.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's $912.50/mo price appears to be for a much higher-tier instance than the 256GB/32vCPU specs suggest - verify the exact instance type and region to confirm you need this tier.
Hetzner AX102 price ($99/mo) is flagged as unconfirmed - check live pricing and confirm setup fees before ordering.
Contabo's $214.92/mo is the 24-month prepaid rate; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month.
Bluehost's $312.19/mo is an intro rate; renewal pricing after 36 months will be substantially higher.
Liquid Web's $532/mo is promotional (often 50% off first 2 months); renewal rates are meaningfully higher.
All dedicated server alternatives require setup time (1 hour to 5 days); OVHcloud cloud instances provision faster.
If you need Windows Server, add $0.039/vCore/hour to OVHcloud or verify Windows licensing costs on alternatives.
