OVHcloud Object Storage
ovhcloud.com ↗S3 compatible object storage from France

- Instead of
- Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage
- Pricing
- Data storage costs 0.0119 euro per GB per month. Incoming traffic is free and outgoing traffic is charged at 0.0119 euro.

- Applications needing S3 storage hosted in Europe
OVHcloud CDN
ovhcloud.com ↗Content delivery network from French provider OVHcloud
OVHcloud CDN is the content delivery network of the French cloud provider OVHcloud. It caches the static parts of your website on servers spread across the network, so images, stylesheets and scripts are delivered from a location near the visitor instead of from your origin server every time.

- OVHcloud CDN starts at 2.40 euro per month.
- Suits
- Sites wanting a cheap CDN inside Europe

OVHcloud Domains is the domain name registrar product of the French cloud provider OVHcloud. The company is ICANN accredited, supports DNSSEC and allows several users on one account. Every domain comes with a free email address with 5 GB of storage and 10 MB of web space, which is enough for a simple landing page.
- Instead of
- GoDaddy
- Pricing

- OVHcloud users wanting domains in one account
OVHcloud WordPress
ovhcloud.com ↗Managed WordPress hosting from OVHcloud in France
OVHcloud WordPress is the managed WordPress hosting of the French cloud platform OVHcloud. The platform takes care of the parts most site owners would rather not think about, with DDoS protection against attacks, backup tools to restore a site that has gone wrong, and unlimited monthly traffic so a busy month does not produce a surprise bill.
- Instead of
- Bluehost WordPress, DreamHost WordPress, Hostgator WordPress, Kinsta and WordPress.com
- Pricing
- The personal plan costs 2.19 euro per month and includes 1 domain name and 100 GB of disk space.
