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
VPSDime
Pros
- + Best-in-class RAM per dollar on the standard line: $5/mo entry up to 288 GB RAM at $336/mo on 10 Gbps uplinks
- + Honest, complete plan tables, flat monthly pricing with no contracts or overage fees, and prices unchanged since 2013
- + Premium VPS line is true KVM with dedicated CPU/RAM/disk and nightly backups included; Windows VPS bundles the license from $15/mo
- + Ticket support with a stated sub-15-minute response, 99.99% power/network SLA with credits, 72-hour first-order refund
Cons
- - No real DDoS mitigation: larger attacks are null-routed and the vendor recommends Cloudflare
- - Standard Linux line is container-based with shared CPU; true isolation costs 4x per GB on the Premium line
- - No API, no managed tier, ticket-only support, and a somewhat opaque corporate structure (Nodisto FZE / Nodisto IT / Winity)
- - Backups cost $5/mo with 3-day retention outside Premium; traffic overage suspends the VPS after 24 hours
