Why Choose OVH for Dedicated Servers and Private Cloud?
If you’re looking for cost-effective, high-performance cloud hosting without the unpredictable costs of AWS or Azure, OVH’s dedicated and private cloud solutions are worth considering. Here’s why:

OVH offers fixed pricing with no surprise charges for data transfer or API calls. Unlike AWS or Azure, you won’t have to worry about unexpected cloud bills.
2. High-Performance Dedicated Servers
With OVH, you get bare metal servers, meaning:
- Full access to CPU, RAM, and storage
- No performance drops due to shared resources
- Ideal for virtualization (VMware, Proxmox), databases, and demanding applications
3. Compliance & Data Sovereignty
If your business needs to follow GDPR, ISO 27001, or other regulations, OVH’s data centers across Europe, North America, and Asia help keep your data in check. You decide where your data is stored.
4. Enterprise-Grade Security
- Dedicated resources no shared environment risks
- Free anti-DDoS protection
