Which should you pick?
Choose phoenixNAP if this fits: best cloud-style bare metal for businesses. phoenixNAP turns dedicated hardware into a cloud primitive: API-deployed bare metal in minutes with real 24/7 support and compliance credentials. You pay enterprise prices for the privilege.
Choose OVHcloud if this fits: best cheap vps specs with unmetered traffic. OVHcloud gives you more hardware per dollar than any US brand and never meters your traffic. You pay for it in interface friction and uneven support.
Overall, our scores favor phoenixNAP (8.2 vs 8.0) - but the right choice depends on which trade-offs matter to you. Read the full phoenixNAP review and OVHcloud review.
