- + Permissive policy explicitly allows VPNs, IRC, Tor nodes, GRE tunnels, and torrents
- + Romanian (EU) jurisdiction with DMCA-ignored configurations in designated locations
- + Virtualizor panel with instant deployment, rDNS control, and backup/restore functions
- + Windows KVM, OpenVZ, LXC, and semi-dedicated options in one small catalog
Cons
- - No published uptime SLA, no status page, no verifiable reliability record

- - Plan detail scattered across list pages; entry-plan specs not published on main pages
- - Limited footprint: Romania-first with no Americas or Asia presence
- - Company history, legal entity, and refund terms are not published
BuyVM
Pros
- + Cheapest serious block storage we track: $1.25/256 GB, $5/TB per month, hot-migratable slabs
- + Unmetered 1 Gbps bandwidth on every slice — no egress metering to model
- + Cheap, credible DDoS filtering at $3/month per IP (3.5+ Tbps pooled, Path.net-backed)
- + Real KVM with custom ISOs, full disk encryption, and a free DirectAdmin license
- + 16-year track record with a support reputation that outclasses the price point
Cons
- - Stock shortages on popular slices and locations are routine; no elastic scaling
- - Self-managed only — no managed tier, no object storage product, no autoscaling API
- - Only three locations (Las Vegas, New York, Luxembourg); no Asia-Pacific presence
- - Modest 99.9% SLA with application-layer floods excluded; credits handled via TOS
- - No downgrades, and nightly backups cost extra (10% of base price)
