BuyVM
Pros
- + Cheapest serious block storage we track: $1.25/256 GB, $5/TB per month, hot-migratable slabs
- + Unmetered 1 Gbps bandwidth on every slice — no egress metering to model
- + Cheap, credible DDoS filtering at $3/month per IP (3.5+ Tbps pooled, Path.net-backed)
- + Real KVM with custom ISOs, full disk encryption, and a free DirectAdmin license
- + 16-year track record with a support reputation that outclasses the price point
Cons
- - Stock shortages on popular slices and locations are routine; no elastic scaling
- - Self-managed only — no managed tier, no object storage product, no autoscaling API
- - Only three locations (Las Vegas, New York, Luxembourg); no Asia-Pacific presence
- - Modest 99.9% SLA with application-layer floods excluded; credits handled via TOS
- - No downgrades, and nightly backups cost extra (10% of base price)
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
