Summary
European cloud infrastructure provider OVHcloud has announced substantial price increases across its product lineup, with Virtual Private Server (VPS) pricing rising by approximately 50% and dedicated server pricing increasing by around 10%. The price adjustments affect the company's entire VPS range, with entry-level VPS-1 plans jumping from $4.90 to $7.60 monthly, while higher-tier offerings like VPS-6 will increase from $53.40 to $86.00.
The dramatic price hikes represent one of the most significant pricing adjustments in OVHcloud's recent history. Mid-tier VPS plans are experiencing the steepest increases, with VPS-4 pricing rising from $26.00 to $43.50 — a 67% increase. Even the company's low-zone VPS offering (VPSLZ-1) will see prices rise from $6.00 to $8.50, representing a more modest but still substantial 42% increase.
The pricing changes come amid broader industry pressures including rising energy costs, increased demand for AI infrastructure, and general inflationary pressures affecting data center operations. OVHcloud, which operates data centers across Europe and globally, has been investing heavily in infrastructure expansion and AI capabilities. These price increases may reflect the company's need to maintain margins while competing with hyperscale cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure in an increasingly competitive market.
