OVHcloud's rule: the base server renews at the new-order price; installed options renew at their pre-July price plus 20% for RAM and 10% for storage on Gen 2024, or 40% and 15% on Gen 2026. Pre-filled with the ADVANCE-2 Gen 2026 base configuration. Source: OVHcloud.
Match the spec before you compare
| What to match | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| CPU and core count | Same generation and cores, or the comparison is not like for like. |
| RAM size and ECC | OVHcloud lists Advance RAM as DDR5 with on-die ECC, which is not the same as full ECC. Match whichever your workload needs. |
| Disks and class | Datacenter-class NVMe in RAID 1 versus consumer drives changes write endurance. |
| Public bandwidth and port | Included traffic, port speed, and the overage price per TB. |
| DDoS protection and private network | Included at OVHcloud; often extra elsewhere. |
| Location | Latency to your users, and data-residency rules. |
Alternatives, priced over 36 months
Alternatives for this exact configuration are priced on live bids, not estimates. Send your invoice or spec and the desk returns 3+ normalized counter-quotes for the same hardware, term and region within one business day.
When to stay, when to switch
Stay when your servers depend on each other over OVHcloud's private network (vRack) and moving one means moving all of them; when you rely on a certification or the included DDoS protection that an alternative would charge for; or when the extra cost over the term is smaller than the engineering time a migration would take.
Switch when the server is a self-contained workload (an app node, a game server, a build box), when the renewal is weeks away and the increase is large, or when you are adding servers anyway and the new ones would be priced at the new rates.
Either way, price the move before your renewal date, not after.

Which OVHcloud servers are not affected?
OVHcloud says Kimsufi, So you Start, Rise, and generations before Gen 2024 keep their prices.
Can I keep my current OVHcloud price?
OVHcloud says nothing changes while a commitment is running, and that a prepaid subscription (the full period paid upfront) locks in the current rate. Check the terms on offer for your server before your renewal date.
