Pricing
Pricing and what a full setup really costs
Advertised rates tell you the floor, not the ceiling. Both providers structure billing differently, and those differences affect your real monthly spend more than the plan tiers suggest. OVH offers two payment options: monthly or annual. Committing to 12 months upfront gets you the lower rate. Webdock VPS is billed monthly, with the month paid upfront and no long-term commitment.

Private Cloud
Private Cloud and dedicated infrastructure
What each provider offers when you need hardware that isn't shared with anyone else.
OVHcloud
OVHcloud sells Hosted Private Cloud and bare metal servers, with formal certifications such as ISO 27001, SOC I and II, and PCI DSS, across regions in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.
If you need those certifications or locations outside the EU, OVHcloud covers them and Webdock doesn't. Private Cloud is for teams that want single-tenant hardware in one Danish facility, with the same dashboard and API as a Webdock VPS.
Webdock Private Cloud
Single-tenant, Denmark
Physical servers are allocated only to your environment, with a dedicated Incus + KVM hypervisor, NVMe storage and a dedicated /29 IP range. Bring Your Own IP is an option if you already hold address space.
Everything runs in our own datacenter in Denmark: EU data residency, Danish jurisdiction and a signed DPA.
Nodes connect to an EVPN-VXLAN Spine-Leaf fabric with active-active redundancy, designed and operated by ITcare with a 24/7 NOC. Tenant networks are created at the hypervisor, separate from the physical fabric.
When load spikes, you can burst into Webdock's public VPS capacity at flat rates and move workloads back afterwards, from the same dashboard and API.
Pricing
Private Cloud plans
Starting points, sized to your workload. Every plan includes the Core SLA. The Advanced Operational SLA adds a named technical contact, full-stack monitoring, capacity planning and a 15-minute P1 response. It is included from Core + PRO SLA and can be added to Core.
Infrastructure & Security
Infrastructure and security: what you get by default
Both providers cover the baseline security stack, but the gap shows up in what ships by default versus what you configure or pay for separately.

Both providers give you DDoS protection, configurable firewalls, and Let's Encrypt SSLout of the box. OVHcloud's included backup keeps a single daily copy for 24 hours. Webdock provides daily and weekly snapshots across three types, with no add-on required.
Server Management
Server management: OVHcloud Manager vs. Webdock Control Panel
Both providers ship a control panel. What they cover inside that panel is where things split.
Scroll to see more →
OVHcloud Manager handles the infrastructure side well: reboots, OS installs, snapshots, and network configuration all sit in one place. App management is a separate layer, though. You need a cPanel or Plesk license to get there, which adds to your monthly bill before you've done anything with the server itself. Webdock covers both layers in a single panel at no extra cost. The tradeoff is OS variety. If your stack runs on Windows Server, BSD, or Fedora, OVHcloud is the only option here. Webdock is Linux only.
Support
How does the support fare
OVHcloud structures its support across four paid tiers: Standard, Premium, Business, and Enterprise. Standard ships free with every plan. The rows below reflect the Standard tier unless noted.

OVHcloud's Standard tier, as described by the company, is intended for "autonomous customers" running non-critical workloads. Faster phone and ticket access is available only to Premium or Business tier subscribers. Webdock includes engineering-team access via chat and email on every plan, plus 24/7 monitoring. Private Cloud response guarantees depend on the chosen SLA. The team answering your chat manages the same servers in Denmark, so there's no hand-off between support and infrastructure.

Focus Areas
Where each provider focuses
OVHcloud sells a wide catalog across many infrastructure categories. Webdock stays sharply focused on VPS and the bundled tools that make production environments work.

If your workload needs managed Kubernetes, GPU instances, or object storage, OVHcloud's broader catalog covers that and Webdock doesn't. For web apps, APIs and SaaS workloads that run on VPS, Webdock bundles the server tools into one monthly bill.
Background
Two providers at very different scales
OVHcloud and Webdock both sell VPS infrastructure, but they got there from completely different places. Their origin stories explain what each provider values now and who they're actually building for.
Who Is OVHcloud
Est. 1999 · Roubaix, France
Octave Klaba founded OVH on November 2, 1999, in Roubaix, France. He was a computer science student at ICAM in Lille, running the first server out of his family's garage. The Klaba family backed the venture with roughly 25,000 French francs. The name stood for "On Vous Héberge," French for "We host you."
OVH opened its first owned facility in Paris in 2003, and by 2004, it had expanded to Poland and Spain. The company rebranded as OVHcloud in 2016 to match its shift toward cloud services. By October 2021, OVHcloud was listed on Euronext Paris, raising €400 million at a market capitalization of €3.48 billion. Today, they run 44 data centers across four continents and employ over 3,000 people.
What Is Webdock
Est. 2019 · Denmark
Webdock started in 2019 in Denmark. The founders spent years running client sites at Danish advertising agencies since 2012, and the same problems kept appearing across every platform: billing surprises, support that went quiet when things broke, and servers that couldn't keep up. They built their own instead.
A full year went into infrastructure before they took on a single customer. No outside money, fully bootstrapped. By 2024, they opened a data center on Funen Island, built and owned by the team, running on renewable power.

Frequently Asked Questions
OVHcloud or Webdock: what teams ask
Yes, Webdock's own panel at no extra cost. cPanel needs a separate license.
For EU workloads, yes: physically isolated, single-tenant hardware in Denmark, managed from the same dashboard and API as your VPS servers.
Which one fits your project?
OVH operates 44 data centers across four continents. That scale works well for teams with global reach or strict compliance requirements, such as ISO 27001 or PCI DSS certification. Their unlimited traffic on most plans is a real advantage, too.
Webdock takes a different route: one facility in Denmark, owned outright, and bundled tools that replace several separate vendor invoices. The Custom Profile builder lets you pay for what your application needs, not the nearest fixed tier.
