Sibling records disagree:

verdict: compute/kimsufi says paid-only, compute/kimsufi-windows says qualifies-with-caveat

Free tier	no free tier; KS-3 is USD 30.00 a month for 4 cores and 8 threads, 32 GB of DDR4 ECC RAM and 2 x 480 GB of SSD, and the configure screen sells a Windows Server 2016 Standard 4-core licence as a priced option at USD 34.00 a month, so a Windows-ready box is USD 64.00 a month unit none; metered on none
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	the disks persist while the server is rented; the page states no deletion clock
Egress	500 Mbps unmetered on the configure page, against 'Public 300 Mbps' on the KS range table; no byte quota and no overage price is printed on either free_allowance: unmetered
Identity	card an account and a payment method at order; OVHcloud accounts are region-scoped, and the range table shows this plan orderable from a subset of regions
Limits	per-ip-shaping 500 Mbps unmetered per the configure page; 300 Mbps per the range table source the two pages disagree on the port: the KS range table says 'Public 300 Mbps' and the configure screen says 500 Mbps unmetered. The configure page is the one that charges the money and is the newer, so it is carried, with the table figure recorded beside it. RAM can be raised to 64 GB for USD 8.90 and the disk comes as 2 x 480 GB SSD or 2 x 2 TB HDD at the same price.
Binding	per-ip-shaping the public port is the only published limit and it is the one that bites for a serving workload: 300 to 500 Mbps is between a third and a half of what a 1 Gbps VPS row offers, and the licence adds USD 34.00 before the port matters.
Interface	rest, cli a rented dedicated server with a public IPv4 on the machine and a rescue or install path from the OVHcloud manager; RDP once Windows is installed from the licence option
Tooling	any RDP client; the OVHcloud manager for install, rescue and billing
Composes with	the only row in the sweep with a published licence line item sold apart from the machine, which makes USD 34.00 a month the yardstick every licence-included claim is measured against; the machine is 32 GB of dedicated RAM for USD 30.00, so a workload that needs real memory rather than a vCPU share has no cheaper row.
Reliability	no reliability event observed the same plan is priced differently on the range table and the configure screen, and the range table shows availability by region rather than everywhere.
Notes	The USD 34.00 licence is the number that makes this record useful: it is the only published licence price any lane in the sweep found, and every licence-included claim elsewhere can be read against it. Two disagreements are left standing rather than smoothed. The first is internal: the range table says 300 Mbps public and the configure screen says 500 Mbps unmetered. The second is across records: kimsufi.json carries USD 21.10 for KS-3 from the range page on 2026-10-22 and this record carries USD 30.00 from the configure screen today, so a reader comparing the two should treat the range page as a starting point that moves by region. The all-in figure is USD 64.00, which is 7.89 times the USD 8.11 floor used by the surrounding sweep.
Evidence rung	documented the shape, the USD 30.00 base and the USD 34.00 Windows licence option are read from the KS-3 configure screen on 2026-10-26, and the licence is a printed line item rather than a sentence, which is why this record is the anchor for licence cost. Two things are weaker: the port figure contradicts the range table, and the existing catalogue record kimsufi.json prices KS-3 at USD 21.10 from the range page read on 2026-10-22. The higher of the two prices is carried here, per the corpus rule on disagreeing figures.

Notes	This is the USD 20 row's ceiling: no VPS at that price reaches 32 GB of RAM, and only a dedicated box reaches 8 threads with 4 TB of local disk. Availability is the gate: 3 of 9 regions for KS-5 and 1 of 9 for KS-3, so the price is not orderable from every country.
