Server Room vs OVH

The OVH alternative with no setup fees

OVH charges a setup fee equal to a full month's rent unless you lock into a 12-month commitment - and delivery can stretch to days when stock runs thin. Server Room deploys bare-metal servers in about 5 minutes with no setup fee, no contract, unmetered bandwidth options up to 10 Gbps and real engineers on call 24/7.

Why teams switch from OVH to Server Room

OVH's global footprint is real - but so are its setup fees, commitment pricing and business-hours ticket queue. Here's what changes when you move.

Your quote is your bill

Every OVH range adds a one-time setup fee equal to a month of service unless you commit for 12 or 24 months. Server Room has no setup fees on instant configurations and no commitment pricing: month to month, one flat rate.

5 minutes delivery

OVH advertises 120-second delivery, but real-world provisioning runs from minutes to as long as 72 hours once stock and verification holds get involved. Our instant configurations go live in about 5 minutes; custom builds ship within 24 hours.

Engineers included, not tiered

At OVH, 24/7 incident support and an account manager belong to paid Business and Enterprise support tiers. At Server Room, every server - including the $5 one - comes with 24/7 phone and live chat access to real dedicated-server engineers.

Match the hardware - Compare the bill
