OVHcloud is one of the largest hosting providers in Europe, with a broad catalog spanning VPS, dedicated servers, public cloud, and enterprise private cloud. Cloud Hive DC focuses specifically on KVM VPS, dedicated bare metal, and clearance server deals — a narrower, simpler lineup.

Frequently asked questions
Is Cloud Hive DC cheaper than OVH?
It depends on the tier. OVH's entry VPS list price is lower in USD terms, but Cloud Hive DC's server-deals catalog offers ex-lease dedicated hardware at up to 70% off list price — often cheaper than OVH's equivalent dedicated tiers. Compare the specific configuration you need on both sites; hosting prices change frequently.
Does Cloud Hive DC have as many products as OVH?
No — OVH's catalog is much broader (public/private cloud, Kubernetes, AI infrastructure, enterprise compliance products). Cloud Hive DC is intentionally focused on VPS, dedicated servers, storage, and related hosting essentials.
