A 6c / 12t Dedicated Server with 32GB of ram is 65$ a month with OVH

I do get that it is a bare server, but if you deploy even just bare containers to it, you would be saving a good bit of money and get better performance from it.

Another interpretation is the so-called dedicated servers are too good to be true.

It depends on what the 6 cores are. Like I have a 8C/8T dedicated server sitting in my closet that costs $65 per the number of times you buy it. (Usually once.) The cores are not as fast as the highest-end Epyc cores, however ;)

At the $65/month level for an OVH dedicated server, you get a 6-core CPU from 2018 and a 500Mbps public network limit. Doesnt even seem like that good a deal.

There is also a $63/month option that is significantly worse.
