Is Vultr's MySQL GP 96vCPU/256GB (0 rep) the best deal?

Managed Databases · $11520/mo (256 GB RAM, 96 vCPU, 1280 GB)

Better deals exist

Vultr's MySQL GP 96vCPU/256GB plan at $11,520/mo is significantly overpriced compared to OVHcloud's managed database offerings with identical specs (256GB RAM) at roughly half the cost. OVHcloud's MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB options all deliver better value, though you'll trade 96 vCPU for 64 vCPU and accept regional limitations (Milan/Paris).

Managed Database - MySQL Discovery-B3-256

$5406/mosave 53%

Same 256GB RAM, MySQL engine, 99.99% SLA, and 5.12TB-25.6TB storage at less than half Vultr's price.

Caveat: 64 vCPU instead of 96; single node (no HA by default); limited to Milan or Paris regions; IPv4 and potential APAC egress charges apply after mid-2026.

Managed Database - PostgreSQL Discovery-B3-256

$5406/mosave 53%

Identical specs and pricing to MySQL option; PostgreSQL alternative if you prefer that engine.

Caveat: 64 vCPU instead of 96; single node; Milan/Paris only; IPv4 and APAC egress caveats apply.

Managed Database - MongoDB Production B3-256

$7958/mosave 31%

256GB RAM with 3-node HA cluster (higher availability than single-node alternatives) and 99.99% SLA at 31% savings.

Caveat: MongoDB engine, not MySQL; 64 vCPU per node; Milan/Paris regions only; IPv4 and APAC egress charges apply.

Analytics - ClickHouse Discovery-B3-256

$4546/mosave 61%

Largest savings at 61% off; 256GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 99.99% SLA, though ClickHouse is an analytics engine, not a transactional database.

Caveat: ClickHouse is not a MySQL replacement; single node; Milan/Paris only; IPv4 and APAC egress charges apply.

Before you switch

Vultr's 96 vCPU vs OVHcloud's 64 vCPU: verify your workload actually needs 96 cores; most managed DB workloads are I/O-bound, not CPU-bound.
OVHcloud options are region-locked to Milan or Paris; confirm your data residency and latency requirements allow this.
OVHcloud's single-node MySQL/PostgreSQL plans lack built-in HA; if you need 3-node HA, costs rise significantly (check their HA pricing).
OVHcloud's APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; if you serve APAC regions, factor in future bandwidth costs.
Vultr's hidden bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; request explicit overage pricing before committing to either provider.
Confirm whether Vultr's '0 rep' designation means zero replicas (single node) or a different replication model; if you need HA, costs may rise on both sides.
