BinaryRacks
Pros
- + Very cheap UK-resident KVM VPS: £18/year entry, £72/year for 8 GB with 4 vCPU
- + London Tier III, ISO-certified facility on 100% renewable energy, plus Istanbul location
- + Own network (AS59895) with published London looking glass
- + Stated 99.99% uptime guarantee, 30-day money-back guarantee, 24/7 UK phone/chat support
- + Broad catalogue: dedicated, storage, Nvidia GPU servers, colocation and IP transit under one roof
Cons
- - Small provider with little independent performance or support testing available
- - Catalogue fragmented across promo pages and directory listings; hard to compare plans
- - Promo plans carry tight storage (15-80 GB) and transfer caps (500 GB-4 TB)
- - London and Istanbul only — no US or APAC presence
- - DDoS mitigation is advertised on dedicated servers but unclear for VPS plans
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
