Starting commitments in the OVHcloud Control Panel

NOTE:

  • Different servers have different options for commitment periods; your options may not match the image below.
  • You may choose to commit to a longer term for the discount, but still pay monthly.
  • If you do nothing at all, your commitment will automatically renew for the same price and terms.
  • Once you have a commitment in place, you can only cancel your commitment early by paying the remainder of what you owe on the commitment. 1
