Public Cloud Compute Instances · $1825/mo (512 GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 400 GB NVMe)
OVHcloud's r3-512 is expensive for its specs and region. Several providers offer 256GB RAM instances at 50-65% lower cost with comparable or better performance, though you'll sacrifice some vCPU count (32-56 vs 64). If you truly need 512GB RAM and 64 vCPU, OVHcloud remains competitive, but most workloads can scale down.
Lowest sticker price with 256GB RAM, 64 vCPU, and 2TB NVMe (2x OVHcloud's storage), plus cPanel/WHM included.
Caveat: MEDIUM confidence sourcing; renewal rates jump 2-3x; requires sales call for dedicated server quotes; introductory pricing requires 12-36 month prepay.
Half the vCPU but 256GB RAM at 49% savings; 100% network uptime SLA and transparent pricing with no setup fees.
Caveat: 32 vCPU vs 64; bandwidth overage rates vary by region; Windows license not included.
256GB RAM with GPU (RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell) at 46% savings; includes 2TB NVMe RAID1 and strong specs for compute-heavy workloads.
Caveat: 32 vCPU vs 64; setup fees increased in 2026; traffic overage charges apply outside EU; VAT excluded from listed price.
256GB RAM at 36% savings with AWS ecosystem integration and 99.9% SLA; 9TB transfer included.
Caveat: 32 vCPU vs 64; data transfer overage varies by region (0.09-0.132/GB); Windows bundles cost 70-90% more.
256GB RAM with 99.99% SLA and transparent 0.01/GB overage pricing; 10TB transfer and NVMe SSD.
Caveat: 32 vCPU vs 64; smaller storage (800GB vs 400GB NVMe, but still adequate).
