DMIT
Pros
- + Premium China Mainland routing: CN2 GIA on Pro plans plus direct peering with all three Chinese carriers
- + Operates its own backbone (up to 7.6 Tbps Tier 1) across three Pacific Rim locations
- + Exceptional routing transparency — public per-carrier, per-direction route status per location and series
- + Three network series (Premium/Eyeball/Tier 1) let you pay for exactly the routing you need
- + Premium hardware (AMD EPYC generations) with ports up to 10 Gbit/s and large traffic allowances
- + Colocation available for teams that want their own hardware in the same facilities
Cons
- - Premium pricing: $39.90/month buys 1 vCPU/1 GB in Hong Kong; $72.90/month for 4 vCPU/4 GB in Los Angeles
- - Chronic stock scarcity — flagship Pro plans often out of stock; all sales paused for months in mid-2026
- - No published uptime SLA with credits; ticket-based support from a small team
- - Transfer counted bidirectionally; HKG/TYO plans pause when allowance is exhausted
- - IPv6 traffic does not ride the premium route back to China; AUP bans VPN tunnels to China
- - Pricing page and store can contradict each other on stock and prices
Hetzner Cloud
Pros
- + Best CPU-per-euro in our 2026-04-01 benchmark run: the CX22 outperformed plans costing up to six times as much
- + Strong NVMe throughput: 2,100-2,400 MB/s sequential reads and 42,000-48,000 random 4K IOPS in our tests
- + Transparent hourly billing with a monthly price cap and no setup fees or contracts
- + Six cloud locations with owned, ISO 27001-certified EU data centers and GDPR-compliant processing
- + At least 20 TB included transfer at EU locations, plus free DDoS mitigation for all customers
- + Mature automation: REST API, Terraform provider, official Go/Python libraries, cloud firewalls and private networks
Cons
- - Backups and snapshots are paid add-ons rather than plan inclusions, which erodes the headline price advantage
- - Email-only support with no phone option and no managed tier for cloud customers
- - Entry plans use shared vCPUs and Hetzner offers no bandwidth guarantee (typical 300-500 Mbit/s stated by Hetzner)
- - No supported Windows installs and a smaller managed-ecosystem than larger providers
- - Default resource limits on new accounts require a support ticket to raise; cost-optimized stock is periodically unavailable
- - Object storage only available in the three European locations
