Clouvider
Pros
- + 10 Gbit/s ports, 5-10 TB transfer, 1x IPv4 and routed /48 IPv6 on every VPS plan

- + Bare metal, colocation, IP transit and BGP in the same account; Bitcoin and AliPay accepted
Cons
- - Fully unmanaged — no PaaS, no managed app stack

- - No hourly billing; snapshots not in the VPS product and backups are paid add-ons
- - Small company (handful of staff) standing behind a 100% SLA
- - No GPU, object storage or managed databases
Hetzner ARM (Ampere)

Cons
- - x86 and Arm are separate worlds — no rescale, backup or snapshot crossover

- - Launch-era pricing is gone; entry cost has risen
- - Shared vCPUs and modest single-core speed
- - Backups and snapshots cost extra; unmanaged servers
