Fragnet
Pros
- + 21 locations across 17 countries with DDoS filtering in every location
- + High-clock-speed (4+ GHz) hardware and NVMe storage on every plan; resource-based pricing with no player caps
- + Esports-grade track record: official host for EA, DayZ, ESL Play, Farming Simulator, Esportal, and servers at DreamHack
- + Included remote off-server backups, scheduled tasks, MySQL, browser file access and one-click CurseForge/Modrinth/FTB modpacks
- + Operating since 2010 under Swedish registration, now backed by tournament operator PGL
Cons
- - Premium pricing versus budget game hosts — cost is not the pitch
- - Thin public documentation for advanced configuration
- - No published uptime SLA and only a 3-day money-back window
- - Resource packages only — no bare metal or bring-your-own-image
- - Recent ownership change (PGL, January 2025) means roadmap and pricing uncertainty
Psychz Networks
Pros
- + Sixteen cities on four continents — Johannesburg, Sao Paulo, Mumbai, and Moscow on one account, which almost no competitor offers
- + DDoS mitigation is a core competency: bundled filtering on every dedicated server, tiers to 500 Gbps, fourteen scrubbing points, and remote protection via reverse proxy without needing an ASN
- + Public catalogue of 158 priced plans — no quote-form gate; VMs from $4/month and hourly from $0.0011
- + S3-compatible object storage with zero egress charges and immutable object lock included
- + Service commitment with real teeth: 99.9% network uptime and 5% credit per half hour of outage up to a full month's fee
- + Own facilities and network since 2014 (hosting since 2001) — an operating company, not a reseller shell
Cons
- - All payments non-refundable (continuous backup excepted); claims expire after one calendar year; Texas law with California arbitration
- - Usage policy reserves a discretionary takedown right over otherwise legal content; adult-content permission is a 2015 forum answer, not policy
- - Support and provisioning reviews are genuinely mixed despite the 15-minute response promise
- - Bandwidth is 'unmetered' under an unpublished fair-use threshold
- - EU footprint thinner than US/Asia; documentation and control panel are functional rather than polished
