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
Vultr Bare Metal
Pros
- + Dedicated physical servers with cloud ergonomics: on-demand, hourly, console/API/Terraform provisioning in minutes, no sales cycle
- + Vultr Clusters offers self-service multi-node and GPU bare-metal groups (e.g. 8x L40S nodes) without reservations
- + Full Vultr platform inheritance: S3-compatible object storage, storage gateways, load balancers, DNS, CDN, BGP bring-your-own-IP, L3/L4 DDoS mitigation
- + Single-tenant isolation for HPC, databases, compliance-sensitive and AI/ML workloads, under one account and invoice with the VM fleet
Cons
- - CPU bare-metal pricing is not public - on-demand rates appear only in the console/API and contract rates go through sales
- - Bare-metal availability is a subset of the 34-region platform and the stocked classes per region are not published
- - No refunds per the terms of service; backups are a 20%-of-price add-on and snapshots are not part of the bare-metal flow
- - No published hardware-replacement SLA; ticket-only support and metered egress at high spend levels
