incidentally, i found that ovh offers a kvm vps with 2gb ram and unlimited traffic for a bit over $3.
2gb ram at digital ocean is $20, with limited traffic (3tb seems like a decent amount, though). a ri on aws runs slightly over $10, but traffic costs are an absurd tragedy.
i was pretty hyped when i found this, but sadly ovh didn't offer private/internal networking for their vps last i checked. so if i want a web vps to talk to a db vps, i have to give the db an internet-facing ip; this increases risks and possibly latency if there isn't some router config preventing public-ip packets from leaving the datacenter.
- nik736 9y agoThey have their vRack available for those instances. Have them running in production just fine.
- AlphaSite 9y agoOVHs networks are pretty terrible.
- dx034 9y agoWhy? I always found them to be quite reliable. Both latency and bandwidth is pretty good to almost anywhere in the world, considering data centre locations.
- seanp2k2 9y agoterrible or oversold? Also, benchmarks? For how cheap some of their stuff is, it seems like a decent trade-off even if it is some level of bad.
- shimon_e 9y agoYou can get the VPS range as cloud servers for the exact same price. Then you get all the cloud features including private network. I guess they are keeping the old VPS range as it seems many people find cloud hosting too advance.
- jake_morrison 9y agoTheir dedicated servers are good, but I have found their VPS service to be unreliable, and their support people clueless. We had an outage every month for a while, and the support people said that it was "normal" to take 30 minutes to reboot an instance. So I think it's a different tech stack and team within OVH.
