- udkl 10y agoovh is a cheaper (& better?) alternative : https://www.ovh.com/us/vps/vps-ssd.xml https://www.ovh.com/us/vps/vps-ssd.xml OpenStack KVM 1 vCore 2.4 GHz 2 GB RAM 10 GB SSD Local RAID 10 $3.49/month
- no1youknowz 10y agoUpvoted. Thank you for reminding me again about OVH. I was considering DO, but at these prices. I can spin something up and not even think about the cost.
- Normal_gaussian 10y agoI'm currently running some OVH boxes and my largest gripe is the low storage space. That's the only thing that would draw me to another provider
- ar0 10y agoScaleway (scaleway.com) offers similar pricing to OVH but with more storage. They only have a datacenter in France, though, so if you use the OVH data center in Québec it will not be of much use. I personally haven't tried them, but they are part of Iliad, the large French telecom / Internet business, so I would expect them to be reliable and to stick around.
- Normal_gaussian 10y agoWow those look like an amazing deal! Storage really is my bottleneck on a couple of projects... I'm in the UK so France is perfect. Thanks
- udkl 10y agoIf feasible development wise, you could also try 'outsourcing' your storage to S3 or something similar.
- Normal_gaussian 10y agoS3 actually works out more expensive for the majority of my use cases
- tmikaeld 10y agoBe warned, they do NOT use ECC memory.

- Sami_Lehtinen 10y agoCan't really go into details, but I've got plenty of servers at OVH. It's cheap and works, when it works. When it doesn't it doesn't. Don't expect issues to be resolved swiftly or them reacting to your trouble at all. Latest ticket opened today. Average disk I/O is under 1 MB/s for sequential disk read and disk I/O flat lines for tens of seconds every now and then. If you find this acceptable, no problem. But for some use cases this just won't do. - Disk I/O IOPS & latency really does make difference between many vendors. UpCloud got free trial, try it. You might like it or not. You won't lose anything. - I've gotta be honest. Some of the OVH instances are performing great for the price. But others are as described above.
- tadaskay 10y agoThanks for introducing time4vps: I was very surprised I can get a box for $1/month. Going through their website I found that in fact it is being run by IV (a major and reliable long-time local player in VPS/VDS/hosting market), so I wouldn't worry about the quality. Their network and infrastructure is superb.
