Aeza
Pros
- + Very competitive published specs: €5.93/mo for 2GB RAM, 30GB NVMe, 51.2TB traffic on a 1Gbps port
- + Metered month-to-month pricing with no renewal jumps; hourly billing from about €0.02–0.04/hr
- + Modern hardware (Ryzen 9 9950X-class cores, NVMe, KVM) with IPv4 and /48 IPv6 included
- + 10–11 locations across Europe, the US, and Russia with Tier III claims and 2 Tbps DDoS filtering
- + Crypto payments and minimal-signup registration for privacy-sensitive users
Cons
- - OFAC-sanctioned: Aeza Group designated 1 July 2025 as bulletproof hosting for infostealer, ransomware, and darknet drug infrastructure; leadership on the SDN List
- - U.S. persons prohibited from transacting; secondary-sanctions, payment-processing, and audit/compliance exposure for everyone else
- - IP reputation risk from association with abuse-heavy infrastructure; upstream de-peering or null-routing possible
- - No money-back guarantee, no traditional control panel, and unclearly documented backups/snapshots
- - Published 99.9% uptime has no SLA with credits; user reports mention IP problems, outages, and slow support replies
Oracle Cloud (GPU)
Pros
- + Broadest accelerator lineup of any hyperscaler: NVIDIA Blackwell/Hopper/Ampere plus AMD MI300X/MI355X, VMs and bare metal
- + Below-AWS/Azure on-demand GPU list pricing (H100 $10/GPU-hr, A100 80GB $4, MI300X $6) with published, checkable rates
- + Supercluster-class networking (up to 3,200 Gb/sec RDMA) and large local NVMe per node for training checkpoints
- + Credit-backed compute SLA and a full cloud stack (storage, K8s, databases, S3-compatible object) in 50+ regions
Cons
- - GPU quota and capacity processes can require sales engagement; 8-GPU node minimums on the best shapes
- - OCI console/IAM complexity and thinner community documentation than AWS/GCP
- - The 'up to 220% cheaper' claim is a dated vendor comparison; neoclouds undercut on some shapes
- - Egress, storage, image licensing and commitment terms add to headline GPU rates; free tier is CPU-only
