4Netplayers
Pros
- + 150+ supported games with free switching and new titles added within 24 hours of release
- + DDoS protection included free on every product — Corero hardware filtering, no server shutdown during attacks
- + Automatic backups (incremental + full, off-system storage) with self-service backup download
- + Unlimited Gaming plan at EUR 14.99/month: 100 slots, 8GB RAM, 25GB mod storage, no branding
- + Quality hardware and facility design: Intel/AMD with ECC RAM, NVMe SSDs, dual power feeds, UPS and diesel backup
Cons
- - Slot-based plans publish no CPU, RAM, or bandwidth figures — resource transparency is weak
- - No published uptime SLA with credits despite a solid redundancy story
- - Game servers start at EUR 11.98/month on the vendor's own pages, above the cheapest slot-based competitors
- - Narrow product set: no VPS, storage, or GPU products alongside game hosting
- - Backup retention and restore management stay your responsibility beyond the automatic copies
Psychz Networks
Pros
- + Sixteen cities on four continents — Johannesburg, Sao Paulo, Mumbai, and Moscow on one account, which almost no competitor offers
- + DDoS mitigation is a core competency: bundled filtering on every dedicated server, tiers to 500 Gbps, fourteen scrubbing points, and remote protection via reverse proxy without needing an ASN
- + Public catalogue of 158 priced plans — no quote-form gate; VMs from $4/month and hourly from $0.0011
- + S3-compatible object storage with zero egress charges and immutable object lock included
- + Service commitment with real teeth: 99.9% network uptime and 5% credit per half hour of outage up to a full month's fee
- + Own facilities and network since 2014 (hosting since 2001) — an operating company, not a reseller shell
Cons
- - All payments non-refundable (continuous backup excepted); claims expire after one calendar year; Texas law with California arbitration
- - Usage policy reserves a discretionary takedown right over otherwise legal content; adult-content permission is a 2015 forum answer, not policy
- - Support and provisioning reviews are genuinely mixed despite the 15-minute response promise
- - Bandwidth is 'unmetered' under an unpublished fair-use threshold
- - EU footprint thinner than US/Asia; documentation and control panel are functional rather than polished
