DataBank
Pros
- + Unusually wide US footprint — 65+ data centres in 27+ markets puts workloads near most of the US population
- + 100% uptime SLA with redundant UPS, generator and cooling across the portfolio
- + Deep compliance stack: FedRAMP, SSAE 18 SOC 1/2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR
- + High power density headroom (40 kW air, 100 kW-plus liquid, 200 kW AI designs) for modern GPU deployments
- + Facility fact sheets publish power, cooling, security and compliance specs openly, with contract portability across services
Cons
- - No public pricing — everything is quoted, so comparing cost against competitors takes a sales cycle
- - Effectively US-only apart from one London (LHR1) facility
- - No self-service provisioning for small deployments
- - Acquisition-built portfolio means facility quality and certification scope vary site by site
- - Growth capital is aimed upmarket (Red Oak, Culpeper campuses), not at small customers
Database Mart
Pros
- + Genuinely low published prices: VPS from $2.99/mo, bare metal from $49/mo, GPU VPS from $85/mo
- + Windows Server licensing included in plan price instead of a $16-$52/mo add-on
- + Flat-rate GPU servers with unmetered bandwidth and zero egress fees suit always-on inference
- + 99.9% uptime SLA with 3x downtime service credits, plus automated backups
- + Two decades in business (since 2005) with its own US data centres and 24/7 human support
Cons
- - US-only footprint — Dallas and Kansas City, no European or Asia-Pacific locations
- - Entry plans (1 vCPU, 2 GB) are too thin for production workloads
- - Promotional pricing rotates constantly, so headline rates need checking against list prices
- - Heavy affiliate-marketing ecosystem makes independent reviews hard to find; company claims (customer counts) are unverified
- - Windows Desktop VPS runs evaluation Windows images, not licensed production Windows
