OVHcloud vs Hetzner
Compare monthly cost, included bandwidth, and EU sovereignty for the same vCPU/RAM workload.
Prices & hardware specs verified 2026-09-02
Editorial Verdict
Both are EU-sovereign giants. Hetzner is cheaper per vCPU and simpler to operate. OVHcloud offers broader dedicated server heritage, anti-DDoS, and Canadian/US legal fallback.
⚠ Class context: both vendors are compared on fair-share (shared vCPU) plans here — specs are burst ceilings (“up to”), not guaranteed minimums. For measurable, guaranteed capacity, compare dedicated-class plans on the main comparison.
