Cherry Servers
Pros
- + Two decades of operating history, own data center in Lithuania, ISO 27001 / SOC-attested colo sites
- + Clear published price lists: VPS from $3.51/mo, bare metal from $57.33/mo, hourly rates everywhere
- + Operator-grade networking: 10 Gbps uplinks, 100 TB+ free egress on dedicated, BGP, BYOIP, floating IPs
- + Seven locations across EU, US, and APAC, with EU jurisdiction for GDPR-sensitive work
- + Free IPv6 /64 (expandable to /56) on bare metal, standard DDoS protection included
Cons
- - Own pages publish conflicting entry prices ($3.51 vs $3.24 vs $5.83 on the same page)
- - Hourly billing on entry VPS plans costs roughly 4x the monthly rate over a full month
- - Entry Gen 2 VPS plans bundle only 1 TB transfer and have no annual discount
- - No real managed hosting tier — support is 24/7 but servers are self-managed
- - IPv6 is bare metal only; VPS/VDS get none, and regional stock is uneven
DataPacket
Pros
- + Unshared 50-200 Gbps uplinks with unmetered traffic and no egress billing
- + 67 data centre locations on six continents on a private 330+ Tbps backbone
- + Current-generation AMD EPYC + NVMe + DDR5 hardware, in-stock machines deploy in about a day
- + DDoS Shield included, one IPv4 free per server, free /64 IPv6 blocks
- + Network-heavy reference customers (Discord, bunny.net, Nodecraft, Livepeer) validate traffic-spike resilience
Cons
- - $240/mo entry price excludes small and hobby workloads entirely
- - No cloud platform services: no snapshots, managed databases or autoscaling groups
- - Custom hardware, BYO IP and top uplink tiers are quote-only through sales
- - Thin third-party documentation and community content outside the company's own support
