How we compared the 8 VPS providers in France
We kept providers that rent a VPS hosted in France and rank on Google France for "vps france", "vps pas cher" or "vps windows france": OVHcloud, OuiHeberg, PulseHeberg, OnetSolutions, VeryCloud, HelloServ, HolyCloud and rdp.monster. IONOS was left out: its VPS page offers Germany, Spain, the UK and the USA, but no French datacenter.
Each provider is judged on what a buyer actually pays for, in this order of weight:
- What the entry price buys: cores (dedicated or shared), RAM, disk and network port.
- Windows: the real monthly price of a Windows VPS, licence included.
- Privacy and payment: whether the terms allow identity checks, and whether you can pay in cryptocurrency.
- Delivery time after payment.
- Refunds, commitment and support as written in the terms.
Prices are copied as each provider shows them: most French hosts display prices excluding VAT (HT), OuiHeberg and PulseHeberg show prices including VAT, and rdp.monster bills in US dollars.

2. OuiHeberg: the best Windows offer and the best reputation

Prices are shown including VAT and without commitment. Its cheapest plan, VPS Linux 01G at €1.80/mo, has no IPv4 address (IPv6 only); with an IPv4, VPS Linux 04G costs €7/mo incl. VAT for 2 vCores, 4 GB of DDR4 ECC and 45 GB of NVMe on a 1-10 Gbps port, delivered in 60 seconds. Its Windows VPS 04G costs €8.39/mo incl. VAT with the licence included ("the Windows Server licence is included in the displayed price"), for 3 vCores, 4 GB and 60 GB of NVMe: the cheapest Windows offer with a licence in this comparison.
It also has the strongest reputation of the French hosts we compared: 4.6/5 from 775 reviews on its Trustpilot page on 8 November 2026, and it accepts a dozen cryptocurrencies. On the other hand, its terms say the customer "undertakes to prove their identity [...] by providing supporting documents", and refunds within 14 days are made as account credit only.

- 4.6/5 from 775 Trustpilot reviews

OVHcloud is the French market leader, with datacenters in Gravelines, Strasbourg and Roubaix. VPS-1 has 2 vCores, 4 GB of RAM and 40 GB of NVMe on a 500 Mbps port. Its headline price, €3.81/mo excl. VAT, requires paying 12 months upfront according to OVHcloud's order catalog; without commitment it is €4.49 excl. VAT. Windows is not available on VPS-1: it starts with VPS-2 plus an €8/mo excl.

- 14-day withdrawal right
- Lowest price tied to a 12-month commitment

5. HolyCloud: the most locations
HolyCloud (GENIUSWEER SAS, Paris) sells its VPS Starter at €4.79/mo excl. VAT with no commitment: 2 vCPU, 2 GB of DDR4 and 20 GB of NVMe, network up to 10 Gbps, backups and anti-DDoS included. The same plans exist in 8 locations, from Paris to Montreal and New Delhi, and its VPS pages list Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and USDT. Its terms allow it to ask for your identity card when fraud is suspected. We compare the two in detail on our HolyCloud alternative page.
Its reputation deserves a closer look. Its homepage displays "Excellent: 4.8 out of 127 reviews" on Trustpilot, but on 8 November 2026 its Trustpilot page showed 4.2/5 from 63 reviews, 13 of them in the last 12 months. 8% of the reviews give one or two stars and describe maintenance outages without notice, billing disputes after a cancellation request and, in a 2021 review, a VPS that crashed with all its data lost. HolyCloud replies to most negative reviews and disputes some of them; Trustpilot does not verify the facts reported.
- 8 locations at the same price
- Backups and anti-DDoS included
- 4 cryptocurrencies accepted, 14-day money-back advertised
- 2 GB of RAM on the entry plan
- Trustpilot score (4.2/5) below the 4.8 shown on its site

VAT (€3.19 billed yearly) for 2 shared vCPU, 2 GB of RAM and 20 GB of NVMe, delivered in 10 seconds and payable in more than 100 cryptocurrencies. The trade-off is the network: 150 Mbps on that plan.
