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
Hetzner Dedicated
Pros
- + Exceptional hardware per euro: AX41 pairs a Ryzen 5 3600 with 64 GB RAM and 1 TB NVMe for €59/month and no setup fee
- + Fully transparent pricing: every line, setup fee, add-on and overage rate published on public pages
- + Free DDoS protection, IPv6 /64, redundant Juniper backbone (50.12 Tbit/s) and min. 99.9% network availability included
- + Complete hands-on control: rescue system, VNC/image installers, rDNS, failover IPs, vSwitch VLANs, hourly billing option
- + ISO 27001:2022 certified German and Finnish data centers on 100% renewable electricity
Cons
- - Unmanaged: no backups, snapshots, or administration included; support is basic hardware replacement plus email/phone
- - Europe-only bare metal — no dedicated root servers in Hetzner's US or Singapore locations
- - Setup fees up to €3,599 on GPU/high-end lines materially change first-year cost
- - Popular configurations sell out and provisioning can take days; no reserved capacity
- - Primary IPv4 is now billed separately, so headline prices understate the real monthly bill
