Best for cheap VPS with unlimited traffic
OVHcloud sells VPS from $4.54 a month with unlimited traffic, plus public cloud and AI services. The page doesn't state a billing term, some Asia-Pacific locations have a monthly traffic quota, and backups and control panels are paid extras.
Who OVHcloud is for
- Fits if you want inexpensive VPS and unlimited traffic
- Works for people who want cloud storage and Kubernetes from a European provider
Who OVHcloud is not for
- Skip it if you don't want to administer a server
- Watch out: VPSs in Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney have a monthly traffic quota (1 TB on VPS-1), then 10 Mbps
- Watch out: Plesk, cPanel and advanced backup cost extra
- Watch out: the dollar prices are 'starting at' figures from the US site and other regions differ
- Not for you if you want a free plan

Keep OVHcloud, or make your own?
Keep it
Nothing OVHcloud does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company.
It costs $54.48 a year.
What you could not
- Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- An API that other software can build on.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. OVHcloud’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
