Quick pick
→ Kamatera fits if non-standard resource profiles, granular hourly billing, or locations outside OVHcloud's EU footprint are the operational requirements.
→ OVHcloud fits if EU data sovereignty, vRack private networking, or bare metal alongside cloud VPS are requirements -- and your team has the infrastructure familiarity to configure the stack.
Kamatera and OVHcloud are both unmanaged infrastructure platforms -- but built for different priorities. Kamatera optimizes around provisioning flexibility: custom resource configurations, hourly billing, and 18 global locations. OVHcloud optimizes around EU infrastructure ownership: data sovereignty, vRack private networking, and bare metal alongside cloud VPS.
If you choose Kamatera
What you get that OVHcloud doesn't offer
Custom resource combinations -- CPU, RAM, and SSD set independently. Hourly billing at the resource level. 18 global locations including Middle East, Africa, and Asian markets outside OVHcloud's EU-concentrated footprint. A provisioning model suited to non-standard resource profiles.
What you give up
OVHcloud's EU data sovereignty -- infrastructure legally bound within EU jurisdiction. vRack private networking across VPS, bare metal, and dedicated servers. CLOUDA certification for EU cloud compliance. Bare metal availability under the same account. Higher compute density per euro for EU-located workloads.
