One hands you a server, the other runs it for you. {% button href="https://app.mapledeploy.ca/signup" size="large" %} Start your free trial {% /button %} {% /hero-section %} {% intro-section %} OVHcloud is a French-headquartered cloud provider with Canadian data centres in Beauharnois, near Montreal, and in Toronto. It rents infrastructure: VPS, dedicated servers and public cloud instances that you set up and run. MapleDeploy sits a layer above that. You get a dedicated Toronto VM with Coolify on it, and we look after the server. This page covers what each one leaves to you, what it costs, and how the jurisdiction compares. {% /intro-section %} {% comparison-table-section title="Side by side" competitor="OVHcloud" %} | Feature | OVHcloud | MapleDeploy | | --- | --- | --- | | What you get | VPS, dedicated servers, public cloud | Dedicated VM with your own Coolify instance | | Server administration | You | Handled for you | | Deploy platform | Bring your own | Coolify, installed and updated | | Backups | Daily automatic backup included on current VPS plans; premium backup with 7-day restore is an option | Weekly full-server snapshots included | | Canadian locations | Montreal (Beauharnois), Toronto | Toronto | | Customer contract | OVH Hosting Inc.

Its range is wide, from small VPS plans to dedicated servers, managed Kubernetes and managed databases, with Canadian regions in Montreal and Toronto. If you're comfortable running Linux servers, or you need hardware MapleDeploy doesn't offer, OVHcloud gives you a lot of machine for the money. Teams that already have their own deployment tooling and patching routine will feel at home. {% /content-section %} {% content-section title="What an OVHcloud VPS leaves to you" %} OVHcloud is clear about where its job ends. Its VPS terms for Canada say the client is the **sole administrator** of the VPS, and that OVHcloud does not intervene in its administration. OVHcloud runs the host server and the network underneath. So the operating system is yours: updates, kernel patches, firewall rules and SSH hardening. So is the deploy platform. You install and update Coolify, Docker or whatever you use, and keep the disk from filling with old images. Current VPS plans include a daily automatic backup, and a premium option adds 7-day restore with external storage. Beyond what you buy, OVHcloud's general terms make backing up your content your responsibility. None of that is hard, but it never finishes. We walk through the full list in [self-hosting Coolify vs managed Coolify](/blog/self-hosted-vs-managed-coolify). {% /content-section %} {% content-section title="What MapleDeploy handles" %} MapleDeploy runs the server and Coolify together. You get a [dedicated VM in Toronto](/canadian-hosting), ready in minutes, and you deploy through the Coolify dashboard. - **Security hardening.** SSH key authentication, fail2ban, outbound SMTP blocking, and automatic security patches, applied before you first log in. - **OS patches.** Operating system updates and kernel patches are applied for you. When a kernel update needs a reboot, it happens in a fixed 07:50 UTC window. - **Coolify itself.** We run a [public fork of Coolify](/open-source-stack) that we rebase regularly against upstream. Changes are limited to Canadian branding and MapleDeploy integrations. - **Snapshots.** Weekly full-server snapshots covering the OS, Coolify, containers, volumes and databases. Snapshots are disaster recovery, not granular restores. For production databases, you should still set up Coolify's S3 database backups on a daily schedule. {% /content-section %} {% content-section title="Comparing the cost" %} OVHcloud's Canadian site lists VPS plans from $6.20 a month. That's the price of the machine. The time to run it is on top. MapleDeploy starts at [$45 CAD/month](/#pricing) for a dedicated VM with 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs and 35 GB of storage. Coolify, patches and snapshots are in that price, with no per-project or usage fees. Starter and Pro include a 30-day free trial. If you enjoy running servers, an OVHcloud VPS will usually cost less. If you'd rather spend that time on your apps, the difference pays for it. {% /content-section %} {% content-section title="Jurisdiction" %} Both options can keep your data in Canada, and both are outside the usual "US company with a Toronto region" pattern. Canadian OVHcloud customers contract with **OVH Hosting Inc.**, a Quebec corporation, under the laws of Quebec and Canada. OVHcloud is headquartered in France, and its Canadian terms exclude US-based group companies from the affiliates it may subcontract to. MapleDeploy runs on [Canadian infrastructure](/canadian-hosting) in Toronto, with a privately owned Canadian provider that has no US parent company. Your code and your data are hosted under **Canadian jurisdiction**, on infrastructure built for **PIPEDA** compliance, on every plan. {% /content-section %} {% image-content-section title="Try it free for 30 days" src="dashboard-checkout-trial-zoom-summary" width=824 height=952 href="https://app.mapledeploy.ca/signup" %} Start with $0 due today.
