KS: the best value-for-money
The KS (Kimsufi) range covers the entry-level dedicated server tier: a single server, a rock-bottom price, and everything you need to get started. AMD or Intel processors, 16 to 256 GB RAM, SSD or HDD or SSD NVMe, 500 Mbps — plus Anti-DDoS, root access and a dedicated IP included.
The obvious choice for a first project, a community game server, an off-site backup or a learning platform.
Why choose a KS server?
From $14.79/month
The lowest price on the market for an OVHcloud dedicated server, no commitment.
Anti-DDoS included
Anti-DDoS protection always on, with no scrubbed-traffic limit — even at the eco price.
Full root access
Full control over your OS, services, ports. Just like on a premium server.
OVHcloud support
OVHcloud technical teams in Europe, rich documentation and an active community.
Typical use cases for the KS range
Personal web hosting — blog, portfolio, low-traffic WordPress/WooCommerce shop.
Game servers — Minecraft, Counter-Strike 2, Rust for a community of a few dozen players.
Dev sandbox — test environments, CI/CD pipelines, labs to learn Linux and Docker.
Backup & archive — long-term storage, restic/Borg to a KS-STOR with large HDDs.
Is a KS server really worth it compared to a VPS?
Yes, as soon as you need guarantees. A VPS shares its CPU/IO resources with other tenants — performance therefore depends on your neighbours. A KS gives you a whole physical server, no sharing, with predictable disk IOPS and bandwidth.
Are KS servers powerful enough for a WordPress site?
Easily. A KS-A or KS-B handles a WordPress site with 10,000 to 50,000 visitors per month without breaking a sweat, given a properly configured cache (Redis, OPcache, Cloudflare).
What's the difference between KS and SYS?
KS is the entry level (CPU from 4 cores, 16-256 GB RAM) — ideal for small sites, labs and casual game servers. SYS steps up (CPU 6+ cores, 32-512 GB RAM, SSD NVMe) — well suited to small businesses and SaaS projects.
Is Anti-DDoS protection and IP included?
Yes. OVHcloud Anti-DDoS protection is always on, 1 dedicated IPv4 and 1 IPv6 /64 block are included on every KS.
