Looking for an OVH alternative?
Luxvps is a KVM VPS provider hosted in Equinix Frankfurt (FR5/FR7/FR8), with plans starting at €4.50/mo, NVMe RAID-1 storage on every plan, more RAM per euro than OVH's equivalent tiers, and free 4x daily backups. Billing is monthly, with no 12-month commitment required to get the price.
Why Switch
The reasons come down to a handful of specifics in OVH's own advertised pricing and specs.
OVH's advertised VPS rates are 12-month commitment prices. Luxvps is billed monthly with no minimum term, no setup fee, and a 48-hour money-back guarantee.
OVH publishes no RAID level and no local disk redundancy for its VPS range. Every Luxvps plan stores your data on NVMe in RAID-1, mirrored across two drives, and we publish that on the spec sheet.
OVH's VPS page lists one daily automated backup as included; its order catalog prices the 7-day-retention Premium backup 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 VPS-2 gives you 8 GB RAM for €8.58/mo. Luxvps KVM Rootserver Small gives you the same 8 GB for €7.45/mo, on NVMe RAID-1 with free 4x daily backups.
What LuxVPS Offers
All plans include free 4x daily backups, IPv4 + /64 IPv6, 3.2 Tbit/s Premium DDoS Protection, NVMe storage, full KVM virtualisation, and 24/7 support.
