... better than AWS with its SLAs, that every major company relies on to some extent?



Yes. There's a reason companies like Digital Ocean, Heroku, OVH, ZEIT, Joyent, Rackspace, Linode, Cloudflare and many more have been able to survive and grow rapidly in an AWS-dominated space. None of them are competing by undercutting Amazon in price.


OVH is certainly undercutting Amazon in price. The free bandwidth included in each instance is already a dealbreaker if you actually use the instance for anything other than very heavy cpu-bound loads with small output to send back.



"Better" in a niche-filling way, not a "this is very well engineered, but for my use case it's very overengineered" way.
