Not sure which OVH offers you are talking about. Those you linked are at
best 16GiB RAM and and i5 and ofc no ecc ram.

Best offer I found with ecc is this[1] which is a whole lot more
expensive (note the "excl vat").

Not sure we care about that, we currently use ~1TiB on alderaan. Hetzner
has 20TiB, after that 2€/TiB. More than enough. Also they keep
increasing the limit (past few times it doubled or more) every now and then.

I tend to get Gbit on my box, that 200Mbit/s guarantee just means that
if you don't get 200Mbit/s because rack neighbours use too much you will
be relocated to a rack with better uplink.

Hetzner is working on DDoS protection afaik.

Also while we are comparing things:

The cpu is weaker (e3-1270v3 vs e3-1240v3), but we'd get HW raid (which
is probably more trouble than it's worth with a 2 disk system) and the
choice between 600gb 10k sas, 120gb ssd or 3tb sata disks.

Alderaan currently uses ~45GiB of disk space.
