Some of those pricing seems strange, for example, OVH listed its Dedicated server Rise-2 [1] as US$ 80.92 ex. GST/month with 12 month commitment. Which is the same spec as their socket frontend listed as $110. There are other places like YoloDB and Insight with only 12 Threads. The same E-2136 Intel CPU with 64GB Memory is listed as $173 per month in the spreadsheet, while it is US$ 143.14 ex. GST/month 12 month commitment.

But yes generally speaking OVH is a rather strange breast. Much prefer Hetzner. A Zen 2 64 Thread, 192 GB Memory and 3.8TB SSD DB Primary listed as $464.00 in the spreadsheet only cost about $210 on Hetzner.

If it's French (as people have suggested elsewhere), the VAT rate is 20%.

$143.14 x 1.2 = $172

Assuming it applies, some of those numbers more or less work out.


OVH has unmetered bandwidth, which is kinda important considering how many games they are showing you at any one time.

Hetzner has 20TB which can be easily done in a day. Can't find their pricing, but everyone usually charges $0.01/GB, which can add up quick.


Not for their dedicated servers. For dedicated servers bandwidth is unmetered

Also for their shared servers or servers with 10GBs nics they charge $1/TB when metered that is $0.001/GB you are off by a order of magnitude

Hetzner is much smaller and have really few locations... They basically host everyting in germany or finland.

OVH also has way better anti DDoS. https://www.ovh.com/ca/en/anti-ddos/
