Free tier	no free tier; VPS-1 is the entry rung of the 2027 range at USD 4.54 a month on 12-month upfront unit none; metered on none
Price	none stated
Limits	volume-quota (binding) 500 GB a month in Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney, then capped at 10 Mbps; unlimited elsewhere source
Binding	volume-quota unlimited in the EU and US, so the traffic term only binds if the box is placed in APAC.
Identity	card the order goes through a configurator that requires an OVHcloud account with billing details; a card is the standard rail. No ID document is stated on the pricing page. Card hold not stated: unverified rather than none.
Egress	quoted: 'Unlimited traffic' with a '500 Mbps public bandwidth' port on VPS-1. The footnote carves out the Asia-Pacific regions: '500 GB for VPS-1 ... Beyond this, the bandwidth is capped at 10 Mbps' free allowance: unlimited outside APAC; 500 GB a month in Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney
Retention	the disk persists while the plan is paid; a daily backup of the previous 24 hours is included and replicated three times in the same datacentre
Interface	ssh, rest root SSH, the OVHcloud control panel, and the OVHcloud API
Tooling	any SSH client; OVHcloud API and CLI
Composes with	a 4 GiB box with genuinely unmetered EU traffic, which makes it the one row here that can serve bytes rather than only compute
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	CHANGED in shape, not in price. USD 4.54 a month is confirmed and it is the 12-month-upfront rate. But VPS-1 is 4 GB of RAM and 2 vCPU, not 8 GiB: it is under the line on price and under the beefy bar on memory, so it does not compete with the 8 GiB rows. It is listed because the incumbent row put it in this band and the shape is what disqualifies it. The next rung up, VPS-2 at USD 8.50, is 8 GB and 4 vCPU and over the line. Two things were not settled: the renewal after the 12-month term (the configurator that would show it refused to load), and whether VAT is added (the page prints no VAT line at all, and the 'World [$]' locale implies no EU VAT for a non-EU buyer). Worst case exposure is not computable without the renewal.
Evidence note	documented price, shape, port and the APAC quota carve-out are quoted from the vendor's own pricing page read.
Parsed numbers	price USD 4.54 / month price USD 4.54 / month volume-quota 500 GB / month

2026-10-24	www.ovhcloud.com/en/vps/	the page's own language map: 'en' maps to {"currencyCode":"USD","country":"World"}, so the '$' figures are USD for a rest-of-world visitor
