One focused VPS, not a whole catalogue
OVHcloud spans public cloud, VPS and bare metal, each with its own setup. Nxeon is one focused, developer-first VPS with sensible defaults.

Performance & specs
OVHcloud runs many data centers globally with deep European roots — well beyond our two regions, Singapore and Germany.
Both are genuinely fast — ours sits on a ZFS mirror for snapshot-friendly backups and data integrity.
OVHcloud's catalogue spans far more products than our single, focused VPS line — a real reason to pick them for large, multi-product infrastructure.
A dedicated IPv4 ships with the box on both sides — table stakes, and we treat it that way.
Management & support
Backups and snapshots come with every Nxeon plan rather than being an option you configure per product.
Resize is one click here with no rebuild. On OVHcloud the process varies depending on which product you're on.
Nxeon needs no credit card to sign up and deploys in about 47 seconds. OVHcloud's account verification varies by region and can add friction upfront.
Both are backed by solid network-level DDoS mitigation — OVHcloud's anti-DDoS is well established in the industry.
Platform & ecosystem
Game servers are a headline use case here with one-click setups. On OVHcloud you'd configure it yourself on a VPS or cloud instance.
Our one-click apps are ready to use out of the box, beyond the base images and optional panels OVHcloud offers.
Why the move sticks
Live in about 47 seconds, no card required
No credit card to sign up and a ~47s median deploy, versus account verification steps that vary by region on a larger provider.
Backups and resize come with the plan
Automatic daily backups, instant snapshots and one-click resize ship with every plan rather than varying by which product you're on.

Common questions
Straight answers, including the ones that favor OVHcloud.
Is Nxeon a good OVHcloud alternative?
If you want a lean, developer-first VPS with Asia-Pacific latency, quick onboarding and managed conveniences like daily backups, snapshots, one-click resize and game-server templates, Nxeon is a focused alternative. OVHcloud is a great fit if you need a very broad catalogue spanning public cloud, VPS and bare metal with a strong European presence.
How do locations compare?
OVHcloud runs many data centers globally with deep European roots. Nxeon focuses on two real regions, Singapore and Falkenstein, Germany, which gives strong Asia-Pacific and European latency without a much larger global footprint you may not use. Match your choice to where your users actually are.
Is Nxeon simpler to get started with?
Nxeon needs no credit card to sign up and has a ~47s median deploy with one-click apps and game servers, so you're productive quickly. A large provider like OVHcloud offers far more products, which is powerful but can mean more to navigate up front.
What managed features does Nxeon include?
Automatic daily backups, instant snapshots, one-click resize with no rebuild, an always-on DDoS-protected network, a managed firewall, a noVNC console, an AI build console and a 99.9% uptime SLA — all under simple all-in pricing.
Do I keep full control of the server?
Yes — full root over SSH on NVMe storage backed by a self-healing ZFS mirror. You run whatever stack you like while Nxeon manages the platform underneath.
