ArduMaker vs OVHcloud
OVHcloud is the largest European cloud, with well-priced VPS that you manage by hand or via API. ArduMaker adds an app panel and an MCP that operates the VPS.

Frequently asked questions
What do I gain over an OVHcloud VPS?
The work you do not have to do: deploying from GitHub, setting up a domain with SSL, installing n8n or a database and leaving a service running are done from the panel or by your agent over MCP.
What if I just want the server at the lowest price?
Then an OVHcloud VPS managed by hand is a good option. ArduMaker makes sense when you value the panel and having an agent able to operate the server.
