*📜 Plan description

Entry VPS in OVHcloud’s 2026 range with 4 vCores, 8 GB RAM, and 75 GB NVMe. Unlimited traffic is included and public bandwidth is up to 400 Mbps; 1 dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 compatibility are standard. Daily automatic backup of the last 24 hours is included at no extra cost and you can add Premium backups (7-day rolling) or on-demand snapshots. Install any Linux distro and manage via the OVHcloud Control Panel/API; an integrated browser KVM console allows access even if SSH isn’t reachable. Projects: starter web stacks, staging, VPN, bots, light game servers, or small databases where I/O speed matters.

Common to all current OVHcloud VPS plans: ultra-fast NVMe storage, one-click scaling to higher plans without data migration, unlimited traffic, anti-DDoS network protection, dedicated IPv4 + native IPv6, optional additional IPs and Load Balancer (not in Local Zones), and global locations for low latency. You get guides, community, and phone/email assistance. Local Zone VPS variants exist in many cities for very low latency; they support Linux only and exclude some options like Windows, additional IPs, and Load Balancer. Installation fees are free, pricing is monthly in USD and typically excludes VAT, which depends on your billing country.

📄 Editorial Review

OVHCloud is a large, vertically integrated provider founded in 1999 that serves ~1.5M customers with a very broad catalog spanning Shared Hosting, VPS, Dedicated Servers, Public/Hosted Private Cloud, domains, email, and SSL. They operate on an in-house global backbone (quoted ~20 Tbit/s capacity) and run infrastructure across dozens of locations on four continents. The overall value proposition blends scale, price/performance, and control: anti-DDoS is standard, bandwidth is generous (often unmetered in EU/US/CA), and many products include backups and automation while keeping costs predictable.
Product lineup at a glance

  • Shared Web Hosting – PHP hosting with anti-DDoS, daily backups, databases, 1-click CMS installers, and a free domain for the first year on many plans. They advertise 99.99% availability on the platform (no formal SLA on shared).
  • VPS – NVMe-backed instances with daily automatic backups, 1-click scaling, integrated KVM console, IPv4/IPv6, optional managed databases, 99.9% SLA, and optional cPanel/Plesk images.
  • Dedicated Servers (Bare Metal Cloud) – multiple ranges:
    • Rise (best price/performance; 1 Gbps guaranteed public bandwidth in EU/US/CA; 500 GB backup space).
    • Advance (versatile AMD EPYC, 3 Gbps guaranteed public + 25 Gbps private, 99.95% SLA, rich storage/backup options, Network Security Dashboard, Carbon Calculator).
    • Storage (SAS/NVMe, hot-swap, HA-NAS and file-storage add-ons).
    • Game (high-freq AMD EPYC, Game DDoS protection, NVMe/DDR5).
    • Scale (up to 256 cores, 4×25 Gbps NICs, 50 Gbps vRack).
    • High Grade (Xeon Gold/EPYC 9004, dual PSUs, hot-swap SSDs, 99.99% SLA, up to 100–200 Gbps internal with OLA).
    • Wholesale/white-label rack options and the budget Kimsufi line for low-resource projects.
  • Public Cloud – OpenStack/Kubernetes-based compute, storage, networks, managed databases, analytics, AI/ML, and a growing Local Zones footprint; API calls and egress are included in many price points to keep costs predictable.
  • Hosted Private Cloud – VMware SDDC in dedicated environments (Essential/Premier).
  • Email/Exchange, CDN (Basic/Security/Advanced), and SSL (Sectigo DV/EV) round out the web stack.

Security and compliance are a core theme (built-in anti-DDoS; certifications; SecNumCloud for sensitive EU workloads). The manufacturing/supply chain is unusually integrated (servers built in France/Canada, custom water-cooling, component reuse), supporting both sustainability and cost control.
