*📜 Plan description

Enterprise bare-metal with Intel Xeon Gold 6442Y for strong per-core and multi-core performance. Configurable DDR5 ECC memory from 128 GB up to 1 TB to match database, virtualization, or high-concurrency web stacks. Local NVMe storage starts from 2 x 1.92 TB (soft RAID possible) and can scale to larger multi-drive layouts for both throughput and resilience. Public bandwidth is guaranteed and presented as a fixed-capacity link rather than metered transfer, and the private vRack network is 50 Gbps guaranteed for east-west traffic and clustering. Out-of-band management and automated OS deploys streamline rebuilds; you can attach additional IPv4s for HA pairs or migration while an IPv6 range is standard. Always-on anti-DDoS shields ingress traffic at the edge.

The Scale range is designed for intensive workloads with up to 256 cores per server, four 25-Gbps ports, DDR5 ECC up to 1 TB, and a 99.99% high-availability network. It fits large CMS farms, CI/CD runners, cache tiers, microservices and data pipelines that need predictable I/O and networking. Management is self-service with API and control panel; commercial panels or Windows are optional add-ons depending on your stack.

📄 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.
