OVHcloudCloud Providers & HostingPublic cloud, dedicated servers and hosting from a European provider
Key capabilities
- Public Cloud: Self-service instances, managed Kubernetes, databases and AI tooling billed by usage.
- Dedicated servers: Bare-metal hardware with monthly billing.
- Storage and hosting: Object/block storage plus traditional web hosting and domain registration.
Where OVHcloud fits
Core areas span self-managed public cloud infrastructure, dedicated hardware, and traditional web hosting; customers retain OS-level and application administration responsibilities on both cloud and dedicated products.
Positioning and limitations
Shortlist OVHcloud for workloads that benefit from European-owned infrastructure and self-serve, pay-as-you-go pricing without a sales conversation to get started. Compare instance and bare-metal pricing, region availability and support tiers against the workload's actual requirements.
OVHcloud's self-serve pricing makes it easy to start without a contract negotiation, but full production cost (bandwidth, support tier, backups) should be modeled from the current pricing pages rather than headline instance rates.
