Contabo vs OVHcloud

Contabo and OVHcloud are both European infrastructure companies, but their platforms are built at different depths. Contabo focuses heavily on VPS and server capacity. OVHcloud connects public cloud, VPS and bare metal through a much broader networking and infrastructure portfolio.

Server-centric simplicity

Contabo keeps the buying model server-centric. You can choose among Core VPS, storage-focused VPS, higher-performance virtual-server products and dedicated servers, select SSD or NVMe where available, and deploy across regions in Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and India.

Integrated infrastructure sacrificed

OVHcloud gives you infrastructure features that become more important in multi-tier environments. vRack can privately connect compatible services, including Public Cloud and dedicated servers, and OVHcloud operates a much broader bare-metal, public-cloud and network-services catalog.

Integrated infrastructure

OVHcloud is the stronger platform when the VPS needs to live inside a larger private network or hybrid architecture. vRack provides a private networking layer across compatible OVHcloud services, and the same vendor can supply public cloud, dedicated servers and other infrastructure products.

Server-centric simplicity sacrificed

Contabo is more straightforward when the goal is simply to buy a large amount of VPS/server capacity and manage it yourself. OVHcloud's broader product surface and networking model create more options but also more infrastructure concepts to configure.
