Ovhcloud Pricing & Developer Hub
Everything you need to know about Ovhcloud pricing in 2026: platform fees, serverless quotas, compute instance rates, and bill optimization strategies.
Sovereignty & Economics: European Cloud Infrastructure Without Egress Rents
OVHcloud is Europe's largest cloud hyperscaler, operating over 450,000 physical servers across 43 enterprise datacenters worldwide. Unlike American hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) that levy steep financial penalties on public data transfer ($0.08–$0.12/GB), OVHcloud has built its corporate reputation on zero public egress bandwidth fees across its entire Public Cloud and Bare-Metal server portfolio.
For organizations operating under European regulatory mandates (GDPR, NIS 2, DORA), OVHcloud guarantees complete legal immunity from the US CLOUD Act, ensuring enterprise data is stored, processed, and maintained strictly within sovereign European borders.
GPU & Public Cloud Instance Pricing
| Instance Model | Hardware Specs | Hourly Rate | Monthly Price | Egress Bandwidth Fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B2-7 (General Purpose) | 2 vCPU, 7GB RAM | €0.038 / hr | €23.20 / mo | €0.00 (Unlimited 1 Gbps) |
| GPU L4 | 24GB GDDR6, 8 vCPU, 30GB RAM | €0.750 / hr | €450.00 / mo | €0.00 (Unlimited 1 Gbps) |
| GPU A100 (80GB) | 80GB HBM2e, 16 vCPU, 120GB RAM | €2.450 / hr | €1,470.00 / mo | €0.00 (Unlimited 1 Gbps) |
| GPU H100 (PCIe 80GB) | 80GB HBM3, 24 vCPU, 180GB RAM | €2.950 / hr | €1,770.00 / mo | €0.00 (Unlimited 2 Gbps) |
Why Video Streaming & AI Clusters Choose OVHcloud
A machine learning deployment streaming 100 Terabytes of video or vector embeddings per month incurs approximately $9,000 in egress fees on AWS. On OVHcloud, that identical 100 Terabytes of transfer is completely free, making OVHcloud the premier European choice for high-bandwidth web applications.

OVHcloud Bare-Metal Architecture: Unmetered Bandwidth & Anti-DDoS Economics
OVHcloud is Europe's largest hyperscale hosting provider, operating 44 datacenters worldwide. OVHcloud's primary competitive advantage is its unmetered network bandwidth guarantee. While AWS and Google Cloud bill $0.08 to $0.09 per GB of outbound data (costing $9,000 for 100TB), OVHcloud bundles unlimited 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps unmetered public bandwidth with zero egress fees. Combined with proprietary VAC Anti-DDoS hardware mitigation, OVHcloud is the premier choice for high-bandwidth media streaming, VPN relays, and large AI dataset distribution.

| Data Egress Bandwidth (100 TB) | $9,000.00 ($0.09/GB) | $0.00 (1 Gbps Unmetered) | Save $9,000.00 (100%) |
| DDoS Mitigation | $3,000.00 (AWS Shield Advanced) | $0.00 (Included Anti-DDoS) | Save $3,000.00 |
| Total Monthly Invoice | $12,292.00 / mo | $145.00 / mo | Save $12,147.00 / mo (98.8%) |
OVHcloud Production Guardrails
- Hardware RAID Configuration: Bare-metal instances require manual disk array setup during initial OS provisioning. Always configure hardware RAID-1 or software ZFS mirrors across NVMe drives to prevent catastrophic data loss during disk hardware degradation.
- vRack Private Interconnect: Use OVHcloud vRack (free multi-datacenter L2 private network) to connect database nodes in Gravelines (France) to application servers in Beauharnois (Canada) over private fiber with zero public exposure.
Engineering Q&A: OVHcloud Architecture
How does OVHcloud provide unmetered bandwidth with zero egress fees?
OVHcloud owns and operates its own global dark fiber optic backbone spanning over 43 Tbps of redundant capacity. By owning the physical network switches and terrestrial fiber routes, OVHcloud avoids paying transit transit markups to telecom carriers.
Does OVHcloud offer managed Kubernetes clusters?
Yes. Managed Kubernetes (MKS) provides free control planes ($0/month). You pay only for the underlying worker nodes (bare metal or cloud compute instances), making it one of the most cost-effective Kubernetes hosting solutions in Europe.
Global Dark Fiber Architecture & VAC Anti-DDoS Packet Scrubbing
OVHcloud protects customer workloads against massive volumetric distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks through its proprietary **VAC technology**. Unlike software-based scrubbers that introduce 100ms+ latency penalties during attack mitigation, VAC operates dedicated hardware filtering centers directly at the network peering edge. Attacks exceeding 1.5 Tbps are scrubbed in hardware across 44 global points of presence with zero impact on legitimate application traffic and zero surprise DDoS billing penalties.
OVHcloud Bare-Metal SRE Best Practices
- IP Failover & Anycast Blocks: Provision an OVHcloud IP Failover block (/28 or /24). If a bare-metal server requires physical component maintenance, the public IP block can be reassigned to a warm backup server within 15 seconds.
- Secondary DNS Automation: Use OVHcloud automated DNS API to synchronize zone files with Cloudflare or Route 53, guaranteeing external DNS resolution even during regional registrar maintenance.
Does OVHcloud charge extra for inbound or outbound bandwidth?
No. OVHcloud includes unmetered 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps public bandwidth with zero egress fees across European and North American datacenters, making it the most cost-effective provider for media and backup streaming.
What operating systems can be deployed automatically on OVHcloud?
OVHcloud supports 1-click automated installation of Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, and Windows Server, with custom iPXE boot configurations supported for custom kernels.
OVHcloud Public Cloud OpenStack API & Terraform Automation
OVHcloud Public Cloud is architected on standard open-source OpenStack APIs. Engineering teams can leverage standard Terraform `openstack` provider blocks to declaratively manage virtual servers, private network subnets, floating IPs, and Ceph block storage volumes across European, North American, and Asia-Pacific datacenters. Because the infrastructure uses native OpenStack standards, existing enterprise CI/CD pipelines can migrate workloads from AWS or Google Cloud to OVHcloud with zero proprietary API rewriting.
Sovereign Infrastructure Note: OVHcloud datacenters operate under strict European jurisdiction, providing full compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and SecNumCloud requirements, ensuring complete legal protection against extraterritorial cloud data subpoenas.
