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
