OVH prices and specs from ovhcloud.com/de and OVH's public order catalog as of August 5, 2026, showing the 12-month commitment rates displayed there; VAT treatment may differ by checkout country. OVH's 17 Tbit/s is filtering capacity; the largest single attack they report mitigating is 1.3 Tbit/s. OVH's VPS page lists one daily automated backup as included, and its catalog prices the 7-day-retention Premium option at €1.84/mo net on VPS-2. Luxvps prices are final: the price shown is the price you pay, with no setup fee and no required add-ons, billed monthly with no minimum term.
Why Switch
Specs you'll actually feel: memory, disk redundancy, recovery options.
Every Luxvps plan runs NVMe in RAID-1, mirrored across two drives, so a single failed disk does not take your data with it. OVH publishes no RAID level and no local disk redundancy for its VPS range.
KVM Rootserver Mega gives you 16 GB RAM for €11.45/mo. OVH's VPS-3 gives you 12 GB for €12.38. Less money, a third more memory, on NVMe RAID-1.
OVH's VPS page lists one daily automated backup as included; its order catalog prices the 7-day-retention Premium option at €1.84/mo net on VPS-2. Luxvps takes 4 automatic snapshots per day with one-click restore, included free on every plan.
OVH's advertised rates require a 12-month commitment. Luxvps is billed monthly: cancel anytime, with a 48-hour money-back guarantee.
