OVH to raise prices again

CEO Octave Klaba announced an upcoming price hike on his X account:
The inflation of computer components has continued since my last tweet in February. At its core, it's AI that needs GPUs, which themselves require RAM. The 3 global RAM suppliers have reconfigured their factories to produce a highly profitable RAM (HBM) at the expense of standard RAM (DDR4/DDR5).
This month, in June 2026, we're paying 6× the price for RAM that we paid in June 2025. We already know it will be ×9 in September 2026, while forecasts for early 2027 are at ×12!?
In addition to this ×12 in 16 months on RAM, ×7 on NVMe drives and ×3.5 on HDD drives, we're hearing that price increases will also affect chips—and therefore CPUs, motherboards and network cards—by +15 to 20%… for now.
Our Offers
The main concern we want to avoid is running out of parts and not being able to deliver the Cloud to you. Especially since many of you, new customers, are realizing that computer hardware is outrageously expensive, or have no certainty of getting it on time. And so you're switching to the Cloud.
As a reminder, for a portion of existing customers and new orders, we revised the prices of our offers in April. We also successfully anticipated the June 2026 increases, so we don't have to change our prices before September 2026. However, since prices continue to rise, we won't be able to maintain our current prices beyond September 2026.
In the same way as in April, we will increase prices for our existing customers and new orders at the end of August 2026, for the last two generations of each range (the current generation and the previous one)—for example Advance Gen4 and Gen3, Scale Gen3 and Gen2.
No customers from previous ranges (Gen-2) will be affected, as in April—for example Kimsufi, Rise, Advance Gen2 and Gen1, Scale Gen1.
Details will be communicated at the end of July / beginning of August.
The Schedule
- Starting from early July 2026, we are changing the prices of RAM and drive options for new orders.
- Starting from early September 2026, we are changing the prices of our Gen and Gen-1 offers for new orders.
- Starting from early October 2026, we are changing the prices for existing Gen and Gen-1 customers.
- To keep your current prices, you can renew your services by paying 12 / 24 / 48 months in advance (upfront), which locks in the prices for the period.
Perspective
The situation is exceptional and will last until 2028. AI demand is insane at every level: datacenters, GPUs, token-as-a-service, agentic AI. Everyone wants it, everyone is using it. That's what's impacting every business that's not "AI".
We remain fully transparent with you. In February, we told you what was going to happen; it happened, and you experienced it with us. Today, we're telling you again what's coming. It's up to you to take the lead and decide what's best for you. On our side, we'll continue to play the transparency game and make the choice of anticipation.

It's sooo oover @neeoon @barbarza @Saragoldfarb @maverick @plumberg @zejjnt @allthemtings @fredo1664
Yes it was already mentioned here https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4817708/#Comment_4817708
Does vps pricing impacted?!
2027 will be the year they come after the low hanging fruit
Will just plainly decom all those boxes citing “electricity consumption”.
Absolutely fucking not.
I don’t have as big of an issue with OVH price increases because you typically get to choose to lock your contract or not
I’m locked at €49 for a Ryzen for 2 years
But it goes both ways, you can’t cancel when comitted
Not just on order, if your service supports it you can commit an uncomittef service whenever from panel
Last price increase, this was possible for awhile even after the email notification of the increase, to the old pricing
Okay google, create two reminders for Sept, 1st and Feb, 1st titled "create OVH price increase thread on LET".
Wait until.the real issue hits, electricity and data centre space. It will be worse than the hardware prices rises, at least hardware operates in a relatively free market and supply can scale up (even if slowly).
Good luck with electricity generation increasing in most parts of the world given its heavily government regulated usually, and even data centre construction with no one wanting them near where they live.
All these old cheap dedis will be a thing of the past when the space can be used for newer, higher margin, and more efficient servers.
That’s what I’m going to do if KS gets hit.
23 euro a month for 2 years.. maybe 3
contabo same, EUR4.99(2021)-->EUR5.99(2023)-->EUR7.20(2025)-->EUR8.65(2026)
But if you create new package,it is much cheaper.
I just pay yearly for baguette
Me too,all pay annually. contabo says they can not adjust the system rate for old customer,and suggest to cancel the old package and creat a new one.
same cpu,ram,disk,but it can save me EUR30 per year.
For EUR30,enough for you to buy a vps from greencloudvps.
My guess is that the ai circus/scam will burst sooner rather than later and then lots and lots of hardware will flood the market and plenty colo HUs will as well.
Then my preferred providers will be those who buy up hardware and offer cheap dedis and VDS/VPS. OVH might well be one of them.
And I'd like to see the worst of the ai gang (like the serial liar sam altman) getting lynched for the mess they created.
locked in my baguettes🥖🥖🥖 for two-year contracts
Some companys went to court in US, because they expect to be a cartel issue again like last time, something like that happened.
One could even say that it's OVHer. Glad I got lucky with the STOR at least single indian tear falls
Depending on who you ask, this AI bubble is even bigger than dotcom bubble was. Meaning, we probably have to endure another year or two before this house of cards they built comes crashing down. Then they'll be happy to sell DDR-5 at low prices again, just to survive.
Let's for the moment entertain the alternate future, where this all is not bubble and they eventually succeed at creating an AGI, a super intelligence smarter than all the humanity. Well... in that (extremely unlikely) scenario we're all doomed anyway, and price of servers/VPS won't matter at all.
We'll all be converted to human batteries, terminators will rule the world, etc... enjoy ur baguettes while you still can.
LOL it's OVHer!
Ackshually, the original design isn't human batteries, but biological processor
