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
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
