Comparison · Ekaii Hosting vs OVHcloud
Ekaii Hosting, the OVH alternative
OVH is the French hosting giant, for good reasons: massive infrastructure, broad range, long track record. But its entry tiers hide 12-month commitments and shared support that is often criticised. Here is where we do it differently.
What OVHcloud does well
Very large-scale owned infrastructure, French data centers, deep dedicated range, well-regarded anti-DDoS. For a very large project, OVH remains a safe bet.
The catch
Entry VPS prices assume a 12-month prepaid commitment. Shared support is slow and impersonal (~3.5/5). "Managed" offers are not really managed.
Where we win
- No commitment — monthly, cancellable anytime, price unchanged at renewal.
- Payment in Bitcoin, Lightning and Monero, order without an account.
- Web and WordPress hosting actually managed, on our metal in France.
Head to head
| Ekaii Hosting | OVHcloud | Note | |
|---|---|---|---|
| VPS Éco (6,90 €) | vs | OVH VPS-1 (3,81 € HT) | OVH cheaper but 12-month prepaid commitment and 2 GB RAM vs our 4 GB; we are commitment-free. |
| Web Essentiel (2,90 €) | vs | OVH Perso (2,99 € HT) | Similar price, but private analytics and backups included with us, no misleading first year. |
| WordPress Turbo (8,90 €) | vs | OVH mutualisé | OVH shared is not a tuned managed WordPress: no configured full-page cache, staging or Redis included. |
