Maxko Hosting
Pros
- + Transparent à-la-carte configurator with tax-inclusive pricing (base VPS 4 vCPU/4 GB/50 GB NVMe at €14.00/mo, €0 setup)
- + Unusual location mix: Croatia (two Zagreb sites), Netherlands, Hungary, Bulgaria, Serbia, South Africa
- + Native dual-stack IPv6 (/64 included), subnet options to /26 and /40, DDoS filtering on all VPS (3 Tbps advertised in NL)
- + ISO/IEC 27001 certified, Tier III Zagreb facility, published looking glass, status page, and API
Cons
- - "99.999% infrastructure uptime" is a marketing claim with no published credit-backed SLA
- - Small company (~5 employees per Tracxn) — limited third-party track record in English
- - Included support response is 48 hours; 24-hour response costs €5/month more
- - No benchmark data available; backups are paid add-ons (€5–€15/month)
NexusBytes
Pros
- + Ryzen + NVMe hardware at budget prices: 2 vCore / 2 GB from $6.40/month (annual), budget LA plans from $4/month
- + Eight locations on four continents from a single small provider — NYC, LA, Miami, Naaldwijk, London, Singapore, Tokyo, Melbourne
- + DDoS protection, IPv4 plus /64 IPv6, instant provisioning, and à-la-carte upgrades published openly
- + Virtual dedicated line gives true dedicated Ryzen vCores from $19.20/month
- + Candid policy writing: fair-share rules, SLA exceptions, and published looking glasses
Cons
- - Very small operator (founder-run Connecticut LLC) — counterparty risk compared with larger chains
- - Self-managed by default; DirectAdmin management is a paid add-on
- - Best prices require annual commitment; monthly terms cost roughly 25% more
- - SLA is 99.9% monthly with case-by-case credits and a broad exception list (maintenance, hardware failure, DDoS, peering)
- - Fair-share CPU and port speed on standard VPS; APAC plans ship with much lower transfer allowances
