FAQS

Common questions

Is this a dedicated server or a VPS?

All Eco servers are physical dedicated servers. Your own Intel Xeon CPU, your own RAM sticks, your own NVMe drives — not a VM, not a container. No hypervisor overhead. No noisy neighbor interference.

What is the uptime commitment for Eco servers?

The Eco Range (Rise, So You Start, and Kimsufi) carries a 99.9% Monthly Availability Commitment under the OVHcloud Dedicated Server SLA (effective January 6, 2025). If availability falls below 99.9% in a calendar month, you may be eligible for a Service Credit — 10% if availability was at least 99.0%, 30% if at least 95.0%, or 100% if below 95.0%. Credits must be requested within 60 days via the OVHcloud Control Panel. Exclusions apply; see the full SLA for details.

What is the lowest-priced dedicated server?

Kimsufi KS-5 is our entry level dedicated server (also referred to as entry-level dedicated server) — lifecycle-extended Intel Xeon-E3 1270 v6 hardware on OVHcloud production infrastructure. See eco.us.ovhcloud.com for current pricing and configurations.

Which Eco server offers the best value for dedicated hosting?

That depends on your workload. If you are searching for a best value dedicated server at entry-level pricing, Kimsufi starts from $20/mo. For newer hardware at an affordable price, So You Start delivers more performance per dollar. Rise is the highest-spec Eco series, suited to high-throughput workloads where more cores and 1 Gbit/s bandwidth are the priority. See eco.us.ovhcloud.com to compare all configurations and current pricing.

Are Eco dedicated servers available across the US?

Yes. All three Eco series — Kimsufi, So You Start, and Rise — are available in both US East (Vint Hill, VA) and US West (Hillsboro, OR). All include unmetered bandwidth and anti-DDoS VAC at no extra charge.

Are prepay discounts available?

Yes, on So You Start and Rise series. A prepay term waives the setup fee and reduces the monthly rate. See eco.us.ovhcloud.com for current offers and terms.

Can I run Docker, Kubernetes, or K3s?

Yes — no restrictions. Full root access, your choice of OS. 32 GB ECC RAM and SSD NVMe storage on SYS-LE-1 and RISE-1 make them capable single-node K3s or Docker Swarm hosts.
