Clouvider
Pros
- + 10 Gbit/s ports, 5-10 TB transfer, 1x IPv4 and routed /48 IPv6 on every VPS plan
- + Entry VPS.2 (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 50 GB NVMe) at about $4.72/month — strong value
- + 100% power/network SLA, included DDoS protection, ISO 27001 listed
- + Own Juniper backbone (AS62240) with multi-carrier transit; 11 locations across UK, NL, DE and US
- + 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 Asia-Pacific locations; VPS zones exclude some dedicated-server cities (e.g. Los Angeles)
- - 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
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
