OVHcloud pricing starts at $8.50 per month for its entry-level VPSLZ-2 virtual server, with pay-as-you-go billing for Public Cloud and limited-time free offers on select services.
OVHcloud sells infrastructure by product line rather than one fixed bundle, so here's how each main option is priced and who it suits.
VPSLZ-2 (Local Zone VPS)
Price: Starting at $8.50/month
Best For: Anyone who wants fast, low-latency hosting close to their visitors
Other Features:
- Available in 15 Local Zones and counting
- Daily backups included
- Unlimited traffic
- Data hosted near you and your customers
This is the clearest price on OVHcloud's site, and it's a friendly place to start. Hosting in a Local Zone keeps your data physically close to users, which helps sites and apps feel snappy. Developers running always-on tools will like the control without the big bill.
VPS 2027 Range
Best For: Developers, growing sites, and modern workloads that need more power
Other Features:
- Up to 8 vCores and 24GB RAM
- 4 configurations to match different projects
- Daily backups and Anti-DDoS protection included
- Unlimited bandwidth up to 1.5Gbps
The 2027 VPS line adds headroom when a starter plan feels tight. It suits multi-site hosting, resellers, and anyone running self-hosted AI assistants like OpenClaw or Hermes. Daily backups and Anti-DDoS protection come included, so you're not paying extra for the basics.
Public Cloud (Pay-As-You-Go)
Price: Billed on a pay-as-you-go basis
Best For: Teams running AI, Kubernetes, and web apps that scale
Other Features:
- $200 in free credit for your first project
- Extra $100 credit for your first Managed Database service
- Free Tier available for MongoDB
- Instances, storage, load balancers, and managed databases in the catalog
You only pay for the resources you actually use, which keeps costs down while you experiment. New customers can test instances, storage, and AI tools with up to $300 in total credits. As your usage grows, you simply scale up without switching plans.
Public VCF as-a-Service (VMware)
Best For: New OVHcloud customers moving VMware workloads to the cloud
Other Features:
- Limited to the first 50 customers or until September 30, 2026
- Standard Starter Pack only
- Auto-renews at standard pricing unless cancelled before the promo ends
- Fully managed VMware on shared infrastructure
This offer is a low-risk way to try managed VMware in the cloud. One caution: standard pricing kicks in automatically after the free month, so cancel during the trial if it's not a fit.
Eco Dedicated Servers
Best For: Startups and small businesses that want a full server on a budget
Other Features:
- 99.9% SLA and Anti-DDoS protection
- Flexible configurations
- 6 global locations
- Three ranges: Kimsufi, So you Start, and Rise
Eco servers give you a whole machine without the premium price tag. Kimsufi targets the lowest budgets, So you Start fits very small businesses, and Rise pairs proven Intel and AMD hardware with competitive pricing. It's the middle ground when shared hosting is too small but enterprise hardware is overkill.
Bare Metal Dedicated Servers
Best For: Companies that need raw power and full control
Other Features:
- Unlimited traffic on all servers
- Anti-DDoS protection included
- vRack physical private network
- Locations across the US, Canada, APAC, and Europe
Ranges like Advance, Game, Scale, and High Grade cover everything from versatile SMB servers to machines built for critical loads. Prices depend on the hardware you pick, so build your configuration and review the total before ordering.
If you'd rather try before you buy, OVHcloud gives you free ways in. New Public Cloud customers get $200 in credit for a first project, plus another $100 for a first Managed Database service, and MongoDB has a free tier.
