The Hidden Cost

Why the cheapest VPS isn't the cheapest option

Hetzner or DigitalOcean offer Odoo servers for €4 to €13/month. Great price, right?

Then reality hits.

Odoo is a heavy PostgreSQL database. It needs maintenance: security patches, database optimization, automated backups, monitoring for crashed processes, storage cleanup. Most companies spend 6 to 11 hours per month on this work.

At €50/hour, that's €300/month in labor. At €200/hour (realistic for skilled DevOps), that's €2,300/month.

Your €4 VPS just cost you €2,304/month.

Managed hosting strips out that labor. It's not cheaper because of magic. It's cheaper because someone else absorbs the maintenance work at scale.

Let's look at what the options actually cost.

Hidden monthly cost of a cheap VPS at minimum labor rates

That's what 6 hours of maintenance per month costs at €100/hour. Most teams spend 8-11 hours. Few startups have in-house DevOps to handle it.

When managed hosting pays for itself

Odoo.sh (Odoo's own PaaS) charges $57.60/worker/month plus storage. That's roughly $520/year per worker.

CloudPepper, a third-party managed host, ranges from €29/month to €250/month depending on server specs and features.

Opsily's flat-rate model sits between these options: cheaper than per-worker pricing, more predictable than pay-as-you-grow platforms.

Here's the math that matters:

  • DIY at Hetzner (€13/mo + 8 hrs maintenance @ €150/hr): €1,213/month
  • Odoo.sh (€520/mo): €520/month (but per-worker scaling bites as you grow)
  • Opsily managed hosting: flat rate

At your first team of 5 users, even the entry-level plan loses the DIY advantage. By 10 users, DIY is costing you €1,200+ monthly in hidden labor.

Managed hosting becomes the cheapest option. Not because we're the best at marketing. Because we absorb the labor you'd otherwise do yourself.

Simple. Flat Rate. No Surprises.

Choose the server that fits your business. All plans include automatic patches, daily backups, EU data residency, and 99.9% uptime.
