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
ScalaCube
Pros
- + Wide 14-location footprint including Brazil, India and Australia — rare at this price
- + Free Minecraft tier with no credit card, plus paid plans from $4/month standard
- + Deep modpack and server-software catalog (3,298+ one-click installs) with full FTP file access
- + DDoS protection, backups, free MySQL and free subdomain included on paid plans
- + Strong Trustpilot sample (4.5/5 from roughly 4,700 reviews) on reliability and panel usability
Cons
- - Free server must be manually renewed every two days or it can be deleted with its data
- - First-month 50% discount masks standard rates; prices exclude VAT
- - Support is ticket-based with inconsistent live chat and terms narrower than the 24/7 marketing
- - No published CPU model, no NVMe, and thin RAM on the cheapest tiers for modded servers
- - Small company (2-10 staff) with limited contractual uptime and refund terms that require cause
