HostCraft vs OVHcloud — an honest comparison.
OVHcloud built its name on DDoS mitigation and cheap dedicated servers across Europe. For an Indian buyer the question is whether any of that scale reaches you.
Fact-check: what the marketing doesn't say.
Spec by spec.
| HostCraft | OVHcloud | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | ₹246/mo | ~€3.5-5/mo + forex fees |
| India datacenter | ✓ Mumbai + Delhi NCR | ✗ Nearest is Singapore/Mumbai-adjacent PoPs |
| Windows licence | ✓ Included every tier | Available — priced per-core, adds up |
| Indian payments | ✓ UPI, bKash, USDT | ✗ Card/PayPal in EUR |
| DDoS mitigation | ✓ Always-on inline | ✓ Industry-famous — they win on scale |
| Bare metal range | ✗ | ✓ They win |
On Linux specs in euros they’re competitive. Add forex markup, per-core Windows licensing and India latency, and the gap flips for Indian workloads.
Their mitigation network is bigger — that’s honest. Ours is always-on inline on the nodes where Indian traffic lands, which is what matters if your users are here.
No India cloud DC — they serve the region from Singapore and Europe. Mumbai/Delhi latency wins locally.
If you need their bare-metal range or European footprint, yes. For an India-facing VM or Windows RDP, an India node beats a big catalogue.
No — card or PayPal in euros. We take UPI, bKash, USDT and more.
