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
Webdock
Pros
- + Own Danish datacenter (DK-DC1) — owned hardware, EU data residency, GDPR by design
- + Aggressive value: €2.15/mo entry plan with SSL, daily backups, and 5 automated + 3 on-demand snapshots included
- + Semi-managed support that users rate highly, plus a free in-house control panel instead of paid cPanel
- + Transparent pricing: no renewal hikes, no transfer fees, month-to-month with optional discounts for longer terms
- + Profile Builder lets you tune CPU/RAM/disk/bandwidth with live pricing and snapshot rollback
Cons
- - Single datacenter only — the Finland location was retired, so there is no geographic redundancy or non-EU region
- - 99.9% uptime is a stated target without a formal credit-backed SLA document we could find
- - 1 TB outgoing transfer cap on the small plans is tight for media-heavy workloads
- - Small vendor (~19 staff) with no managed Kubernetes, object storage, or global network products
- - Pricing page lists identical memory/disk figures for Essential and Advanced as published — confirm exact specs before purchase
