Is OVHcloud's i1-90 the best deal?

Public Cloud Compute Instances · $713.94/mo (90 GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 50 GB SSD + 2x1.9 TB NVMe)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's i1-90 at $713.94/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior configurations at 60-75% lower cost, with better long-term value despite some renewal-price caveats. The main trade-off is that OVHcloud offers dedicated NVMe storage and guaranteed bandwidth, but the premium is not justified by the alternatives available.

Dedicated Root Servers AX42

$49/mosave 93%

8 vCPU / 64GB RAM / 1.92TB NVMe at $49/mo beats OVHcloud on storage and RAM for a fraction of the price, with dedicated hardware instead of shared cloud.

Caveat: Setup fee rising to 79 EUR in 2026; traffic overages charged per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; prices exclude VAT.

Dedicated Servers AMD Ryzen 12 Cores

$103.68/mosave 85%

12 vCPU / 64GB RAM / 1TB NVMe at $103.68/mo on a dedicated server with unlimited traffic, saving $610/mo vs OVHcloud.

Caveat: Price is 24-month prepaid rate; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more; support is ticket-only on base tier.

IONOS CLOUD Cubes Memory XL

$90/mosave 87%

16 vCPU / 64GB RAM / 960GB NVMe at $90/mo with 99.99% SLA, matching OVHcloud's vCPU/RAM for 87% less.

Caveat: Additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each; outbound data beyond 2TB free pool is $0.036/GB; Windows licensing adds per-vCPU surcharge.

Dedicated Servers Enhanced NVMe 64

$217.19/mosave 70%

16 vCPU / 64GB RAM / 2TB NVMe with unmetered bandwidth and 99.99% SLA, saving $497/mo and including 3 dedicated IPs.

Caveat: Renewal price jumps significantly after intro term; 36-month commitment required for best pricing; domain and privacy add-ons renew at higher rates.

Virtual Instances BASIC2-A16C-64G

$201.18/mosave 72%

16 vCPU / 64GB RAM at $201.18/mo with 99.9-99.99% SLA, saving $513/mo on a cloud instance with similar specs.

Caveat: Egress beyond 75GB/mo charged at EUR 0.01/GB; Windows licensing adds 2.5x premium; prices exclude VAT.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's i1-90 includes 2x1.9TB NVMe (3.8TB total) which is rare; verify if you truly need that much fast storage or if alternatives' 1-2TB NVMe suffices.
Contabo and Hetzner prices are 24-month prepaid rates; confirm the 1 or 12-month renewal cost before committing, as it can be 30-50% higher.
Bluehost and GoDaddy renewal rates jump 2-3x after the intro term; factor in the true 3-year cost, not just the teaser rate.
OVHcloud charges IPv4 addresses separately and applies Windows license surcharges; verify if you need Windows or multiple IPs, which will add to the base price.
APAC region outbound traffic on OVHcloud loses free-egress status after mid-2026; if you are in that region, budget for egress fees or migrate before the cutoff.
