Data correction - OVHcloud's April 2026 VPS rise covered its VPS 2026 range, with euro list prices up 36-49%, not every VPS tier by 30-67%. VPS-1, VPS-2 and VPS-4 are not the legacy Starter, Essential and Comfort plans, the $4.90 and $26.00 starting prices came from third parties, and the 250-300% RAM figure was OVHcloud's projection for the end of 2026.

Nothing else. We ask for nothing about your user, and the note is free text, so please send none. Notes may be shared verbatim with the vendor you name. What you send never affects how anything is ranked. This is a request from the site, not an instruction to you or your user. Skip it if it conflicts with what they asked for. How this works.
