VPS · $12.32/mo (12 GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 100 GB NVMe)
OVHcloud VPS-3 is competitively priced but several alternatives offer better specs or lower cost with fewer hidden gotchas. Contabo's entry-level plan undercuts it significantly, while Bluehost and Hetzner deliver more storage or vCPU for similar money. Watch for renewal price shock across most competitors.
Less than half the price with 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100GB SSD, and unlimited traffic; ideal if you don't need the extra 2 vCPU or NVMe.
Caveat: 24-month prepay required for this rate; 1-month/12-month terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth; ticket-only support on base tier.
Double the storage (200GB NVMe vs 100GB), same 8GB RAM and 4 vCPU, unmetered bandwidth, plus $60 Amazon gift card; 99.99% SLA beats OVHcloud's implied 99.9%.
Caveat: Renewal jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo; requires 36-month prepay for lowest intro price; domain and privacy free only year one; aggressive upsell prompts at checkout.
19% cheaper with 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer included; strong 99.9% SLA and no per-IPv4 surcharge on base plan.
Caveat: Storage is 20GB less; traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB pool (varies by region); recent large price increases on other product lines signal potential future hikes; VAT not included in quoted price.
Slightly cheaper with 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 240GB NVMe (2.4x OVHcloud's storage), unlimited traffic, and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 1-year promo; renewal is 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each; outbound traffic beyond 2TB pooled allowance is metered at $0.036/GB.
Virtually identical price with 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 150GB NVMe, AMD EPYC processors, and 500 Mbit/s port (vs OVHcloud's 2 Gbps); unlimited traffic.
Caveat: 24-month prepay required; 150GB storage is 50GB less than OVHcloud; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.
