Powering Blockchain Ethos


Open by design. Built on the blockchain technology ethos

We speak your language because we share your values.
Decentralization, transparency, and control are principles we’ve built our entire cloud on.

What you build on should share your values

Decentralized

Blockchain_ethos_decentralised

True decentralization starts at the infrastructure layer—no lock-in or hidden control. You own your stack end-to-end.

A network that keeps you in control

OVHcloud’s privately owned backbone delivers 100 Tbps of global network capacity, giving your decentralized workloads the speed, stability, and independence they need to perform at scale.

Self-serve and API-first

Spin up, automate, and scale without interference in your stack.

 

Global infrastructure you can trust

40+ data centers across 20+ locations worldwide — all built, owned, and operated by OVHcloud. No hyperscaler partnerships. No third-party leases. Just full control over where your workloads run and how your data flows (does not apply to Local Zones).

Secure

Blockchain_ethos_security

Security isn't an add-on; it's the baseline. Always-on DDoS protection and full-stack control in data centers we own - not leased, not shared*.

Certified to global standards

Whether you’re a validator, staking provider operating on Blockchain, or building a DeFi or other Web3 use case, deploy on infrastructure certified to global security standards*, giving you a strong foundation for audit readiness.

Owned data centers with controlled access

OVHcloud designs, builds, and operates its own global network of data centers*. Physical access is tightly controlled. No third parties, no compromises.

Integrated anti-DDoS

Your chain, node, or app stays online, even under attack — no extra fees, no activation hoops.

 

* Does not apply to Local Zones, which are located in third-party colocation facilities

Cost-efficient

blockchain_ethos_cost

Performance shouldn’t come at a premium. Get raw power, predictable pricing, and no surprise ingress or egress fees. Finally, infrastructure built for your blockchain & Web3 use cases.

A network that keeps your Blockchain nodes synced

We offer Dedicated Servers with up to 10 Gbps public bandwidth included, plus zero cost for ingress and egress traffic on both Dedicated Servers and Public Cloud.

Transparent pricing with no hidden fees

Know what you’ll pay from day one. No data ingress or egress cost, and no fine print.

Designed for scale, not for overspending

Power your workloads with the latest AMD EPYC™ CPUs and optional NVIDIA® GPUs, delivering high throughput, bandwidth, and IOPS without inflated pricing or forced bundles. 

Transparent

blockchain_ethos_transparent

OVHcloud makes every layer visible — no hidden logic, no fake metrics.

No vendor lock-in, ever

OVHcloud gives you powerful, unmanaged bare metal - no hypervisor, no proprietary stack, no strings.

Run your node, chain, or layer 2 exactly how you want.

Traceable infrastructure decisions

We show you where your server lives, how your bandwidth is delivered, and what you’re paying for, line by line. No bundled pricing, no hidden fees, no billing surprises.

We own the hardware, you own the stack

From the servers to the data centers, OVHcloud builds and runs everything ourselves*. No middlemen, no shared tenancy - you have full control.
