Aruba Cloud
Pros
- + Owns its data center campuses — Rating 4 facilities in Italy plus Czech sites, with GDPR data residency
- + Entry VPS at €2.49 + VAT/month with published specs: 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic
- + Hourly, monthly or yearly billing on the OpenStack Cloud Server PRO line
- + S3-compatible Cloud Object Storage and a full REST/SOAP API suite
Cons
- - SLA tops out at 99.95% (PRO) and 99.90% (Cloud VPS) — below the 99.99% market standard
- - All headline prices exclude VAT; promo pricing is mixed into tables with struck-through list prices
- - Backups are a paid add-on — free snapshots reportedly expire after two days
- - Control panel and English documentation lag the European market leaders
SpeedVPS
Pros
- + Catalog offer was broad on paper: 10+ US and EU locations, KVM, Linux and Windows
- + No contracts, with monthly and reportedly hourly billing — the right shape for test workloads
- + Entry pricing in the $2.99-3/month range put it at the very bottom of the market
Cons
- - Vendor is gone: speedvps.com is a parked domain for sale, so the product cannot be purchased or verified
- - No SLA, backup policy, hardware detail, or support channel is on record and none can now be retrieved
- - Listing data contradicts itself on price, hourly billing, IPv6, and region flags
- - Budget-class profile with unverifiable location claims and no documented performance
