OVHcloud Pricing in May 2026

OVHcloud's standard pricing starts at €3.50/month for the cheapest VPS, €6.50/month for production-tier Public Cloud instances, dedicated servers from €60/month. Bare-metal pricing is consistently 30-50% below AWS for equivalent specifications, with strong European data residency under European law (no CLOUD Act exposure). A typical European startup running on OVHcloud lands in the €100-500/month range for pre-revenue infrastructure, scaling to €2-15K/month for mid-stage growth.

The €5,000 startup credit through OVHcloud Startup Program is one of the largest European cloud credits available and effectively covers 12-30 months for most early-stage products. Eligibility focuses on European-headquartered startups, accelerator companies, or non-European startups with verified European customers. The credits apply to all OVHcloud services including Public Cloud, Bare Metal, Managed Databases, and managed Kubernetes. The practical European-startup case: OVHcloud pricing is already 30-50% below AWS, so a €5K credit buys 1.5-2x the equivalent AWS credit's worth of infrastructure. For startups with European customers requiring data residency under European law, OVHcloud removes a sales-cycle objection (sovereignty) that AWS cannot match — the credit lets you prove the architecture works before committing to ongoing OVHcloud infrastructure costs. Many EU startups run a hybrid: OVHcloud for sovereignty-sensitive customer data, AWS or GCP for specific managed services that lack EU sovereign equivalents.
