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- - Bandwidth is 'unmetered' under an unpublished fair-use threshold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