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
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- - Bandwidth is 'unmetered' under an unpublished fair-use threshold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
