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- - Bandwidth is 'unmetered' under an unpublished fair-use threshold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