VPS comparison

To pick out the VPS that best suits your needs, it is important to consider the following factors:
- the quantity of resources required (processor, memory, disk space, bandwidth, etc.)
- the operating system required (Linux or Windows)
- the technical requirements that are essential for the application to work properly (e.g. a database needs high read/write speed)

This will help you make the right choice from our VPS solutions.
- Starter VPS: An entry-level server range, to test out our solution (with a Linux distribution only, and no web hosting control panel).
- Value, Essential and Comfort VPS: Perfect for hosting websites, e-commerce services, and monitoring systems.
- Elite VPS: Specially adapted for e-commerce websites and applications that require more CPU and memory resources.

Our VPS ranges are not compatible with the vRack private network. If you would like to use this service, our Public Cloud instances may be a better option for you.

All of our operating systems are listed on our website. This list is updated in real time, depending on the distributions tested on our VPS.

Web hosting control panels are used to simplify the way you manage multiple websites and services hosted on a single server. Administration actions are managed by these applications. You just need knowledge of how to use and configure the web hosting control panel.
We offer licences for these web hosting control panels when you purchase an OVHcloud VPS.

This is our system to protect against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The aim of these attacks is to compromise a number of servers, and force them to saturate others with requests. The targeted infrastructure is then overwhelmed with several thousands of connection requests per second, making it unavailable as a result.

DDoS attacks are becoming more widely used by malicious parties, but OVHcloud is working hard to stop them from having an impact on services.

OVHcloud Anti-DDoS protection is not optional — it's included with all of our servers.

Our servers are hosted in our own datacentres. For each range, we offer eight sites spread across several continents.
- Europe: France (Roubaix and Strasbourg), Germany (Frankfurt), the UK (London), Poland (Warsaw)
- North America: Canada (Beauharnois)
- Asia-Pacific: Australia (Sydney) and Singapore

OVHcloud offers two backup services as options: Snapshot backup and Automatic Backup. Please note that these options do not constitute a guarantee against data loss. For this reason, we recommend setting up a business continuity or disaster recovery plan in order to back up data in different locations.
