ColoCrossing
Pros
- + Strong hardware-per-dollar: 4 cores, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD and 40 TB transfer at $34.95/month list price
- + Ten owned or operated data centers across the US plus Dublin and Toronto for location choice
- + 100% network uptime SLA with dual-stack IPv6 network-wide and basic DDoS protection included
- + Transparent per-configuration pricing with published PassMark scores and full IPMI access
- + Colocation from single 1U to full cages with 24/7 operations center and remote hands
Cons
- - Heavy promotional-code churn means renewal pricing can step up well above the deal price
- - Backups, snapshots and managed services are paid add-ons, not included
- - No APAC data center presence
- - Thin public documentation and no modern self-service cloud control panel
- - GPU catalog uses older-generation Tesla/Radeon hardware
Constant (Choopa)
Pros
- + One platform across 33 regions: VMs, bare metal, GPU clusters, storage, managed databases, Kubernetes
- + Credit-backed 100% uptime SLA covering network and host node — stronger than most rivals on paper
- + Public, consistent pricing with hourly billing capped at 672 hours/month; mature API, CLI, Terraform support
- + Real bare metal range from 4-core E3 boxes to 128-core EPYC and 8-way H100/B200 GPU systems
- + BGP sessions with full tables, BYOIP, IPv6 in every region, free Anycast DNS
Cons
- - The brand in this listing is retired — Choopa was folded into Vultr in 2022 and no longer sells under its own name
- - Bare metal entry (~$120/mo) costs more than European specialists for comparable-era hardware
- - DDoS filtering beyond built-in mitigation is a $10/mo per-instance add-on; snapshots and backups also cost extra
- - Ticket-based big-platform support rather than the named-account service old Choopa customers knew
- - Billing edge cases: stopped instances can still bill on some lines, and percentage-based backups add up
