Kimsufi
Pros
- + Cheapest route to real bare metal on OVHcloud infrastructure — dedicated CPU, RAM and disk at VPS-level prices
- + Anti-DDoS VAC always on with no scrubbed-traffic limit, plus 1 IPv4 and 1 IPv6 /64 per server
- + Unmetered traffic at 500 Mbps on KS; no per-GB bandwidth charges
- + 99.9% monthly availability commitment with defined 10/30/100% service credits
- + Wide OVH datacenter choice across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific
Cons
- - Lifecycle-extended hardware — older Xeon/AMD generations with no custom configuration
- - Chronic stock scarcity: popular configurations sell out fast and restocks are irregular
- - Setup fee equal to one month's cost; no prepay discount on the KS series
- - Self-managed only — no managed OS tier and no backups bundled
- - Kimsufi brand is being absorbed into OVHcloud Eco; storefronts and naming are in flux
Constant (Choopa)
Pros
- + One platform across 33 regions: VMs, bare metal, GPU clusters, storage, managed databases, Kubernetes
- + Credit-backed 100% uptime SLA covering network and host node — stronger than most rivals on paper
- + Public, consistent pricing with hourly billing capped at 672 hours/month; mature API, CLI, Terraform support
- + Real bare metal range from 4-core E3 boxes to 128-core EPYC and 8-way H100/B200 GPU systems
- + BGP sessions with full tables, BYOIP, IPv6 in every region, free Anycast DNS
Cons
- - The brand in this listing is retired — Choopa was folded into Vultr in 2022 and no longer sells under its own name
- - Bare metal entry (~$120/mo) costs more than European specialists for comparable-era hardware
- - DDoS filtering beyond built-in mitigation is a $10/mo per-instance add-on; snapshots and backups also cost extra
- - Ticket-based big-platform support rather than the named-account service old Choopa customers knew
- - Billing edge cases: stopped instances can still bill on some lines, and percentage-based backups add up
