So you Start Dedicated Servers provides dedicated bare-metal hardware for professional applications, startups, and small and medium-sized businesses. The service offers Intel Xeon, AMD Ryzen, and other processor configurations, along with ECC memory, HDD SATA, SSD, and NVMe Soft RAID storage. Customers can manage servers through the OVHcloud Control Panel or API, with public and private networking, IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, anti-DDoS protection, backup storage, and technical support by email and telephone.

Pricing is paid monthly, with the listed SYS-1 plan starting at $33.20 per server per month. That configuration includes an Intel Xeon-E 2136 processor, 32 GB to 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory, HDD SATA to SSD NVMe Soft RAID storage options, and 500 Mbps public and private bandwidth. The plan structure makes the entry point clear, while the broader hardware range supports different CPU and storage requirements. There is no free plan, so it is intended for workloads that require dedicated infrastructure rather than a no-cost starting tier.

Platform fit is a central strength. OVHcloud vRack provides private networking, while the service integrates with Proxmox, KVM, VMware ESXi, and Microsoft Hyper-V for virtualization. The OVHcloud API supports programmatic management alongside the web control panel. Existing So you Start servers can be retained, while new server orders are directed to OVHcloud Eco and the So you Start range is integrated into that platform. Choose it for bare-metal deployments that need configurable hardware, virtualization compatibility, networking controls, and included protection and backup storage. Consider another option if you need a free tier or a different bandwidth profile than the listed SYS-1 configuration.
