What is OVHcloud?

OVHcloud is a European infrastructure provider headquartered in Roubaix, France, that designs and assembles its own servers in two in-house production sites and runs its own data centers and network (46 data centers, 44 points of presence, 100 Tbps of capacity) instead of reselling hyperscaler capacity. Its catalog covers four layers: VPS for single virtual servers, Bare Metal dedicated servers (Advance, Game, Scale and High Grade ranges, with Advance from $189/month), Public Cloud for pay-as-you-go instances, managed Kubernetes, managed databases, AI services and object, block and file storage, and Hosted Private Cloud on VMware or Nutanix, including SecNumCloud-qualified environments for regulated French and EU workloads. Anti-DDoS protection and a daily backup are included on every VPS, and services are run from a web control panel, an API, Terraform and a CLI. OVHcloud raised prices on April 1, 2026, citing RAM and disk costs (9-11% on average for recent cloud hardware and roughly 45% on the VPS 2026 range), then launched a smaller, cheaper VPS 2027 range in June 2026.

OVHcloud is a French cloud provider that builds its own servers and runs 46 data centers on 4 continents, selling VPS, bare metal servers, Public Cloud (instances, managed Kubernetes, databases, object and block storage) and hosted private cloud on VMware or Nutanix to 1.6 million customers. The VPS 2027 range starts at $4.54/month for VPS-1 (2 vCores, 4GB RAM, 40GB NVMe) with a 12-month prepayment, or $5.35/month without commitment, and tops out at VPS-4 (8 vCores, 24GB RAM) for $23.37/month prepaid. Public Cloud bills per second, for example $0.0605/hour for a b3-8 instance, and a first project gets US$200 of free credit for one month. Prices rose on April 1, 2026, when OVHcloud passed on part of a jump in RAM and disk costs. Trustpilot rates OVHcloud 3.8/5 from 9,019 reviews, split between 50% five-star and 36% one-star.

Standout feature: Vertical integration: OVHcloud assembles its own servers and runs its own 46 data centers and network, which keeps list prices low (VPS from $4.54/month with anti-DDoS included) and lets it offer SecNumCloud-qualified private cloud for regulated EU workloads.

Biggest weakness: OVHcloud's weak points are support and price stability: support is the most common complaint in one- and two-star Trustpilot reviews, where the 3.8/5 score from 9,019 reviews splits into 50% five-star and 36% one-star, and OVHcloud raised prices on April 1, 2026 (roughly 45% on its VPS 2026 plans) while warning that market visibility rarely lasts longer than one to two weeks.

OVHcloud: pros and cons

Pros

  • Published, self-serve pricing across VPS, bare metal and Public Cloud, with VPS from $4.54/month prepaid or $5.35/month without commitment.
  • Anti-DDoS protection and a daily backup are included on every VPS rather than sold as add-ons.
  • 46 data centers on 4 continents, and OVHcloud states that services hosted in Europe are not subject to the US CLOUD Act.
  • SecNumCloud-qualified private cloud on VMware or Nutanix for regulated French and EU workloads.
  • A first Public Cloud project gets US$200 of free credit to test instances, Kubernetes and storage.

Cons

  • No permanent free tier; the only free offer is US$200 of Public Cloud credit that expires one month after activation.
  • Prices rose on April 1, 2026: about 9-11% on average for recent cloud hardware and roughly 45% on the VPS 2026 range (VPS-1 went from 4.49 to 6.49 euros a month).
  • Support is the most common complaint in negative Trustpilot reviews, and the 3.8/5 score hides a 36% share of one-star reviews.
  • Smaller ecosystem and third-party integration base than AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
