Nocix
Pros
- + Outstanding hardware-per-dollar: 20-36 core dual Xeons with 128 GB RAM from tens of dollars per month
- + 1 Gbit unmetered transfer, 5 usable IPv4 addresses, and a /64 IPv6 block as standard
- + Network quality and transparency: direct Cogent/Telia/HE/China Telecom/China Unicom upstreams, 500+ peers, live utilization, iperf3 and test files published
- + Instant-activation preconfigs and 2-day custom builds with free setup
- + Own Kansas City facility with 24-hour on-site staff and a 10-minute hardware ticket response target
- + Dual-stacked network with open peering at KCIX and five other exchanges
Cons
- - Fully unmanaged: OS, security, and backups are your problem
- - No published uptime SLA or credit schedule
- - Much of the fleet is DDR3-era hardware; some custom plans out of stock
- - DDoS protection is 2 Gbit free-tier grade only
- - Single central-US location; thin documentation and ticket-only support
- - Plan prices are not cleanly published on static pages — pairing specs to prices requires the order UI
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
