ReliableSite
Pros
- + 100% uptime SLA on network, power and cooling, with on-site staff and spare parts at every facility
- + Free DDoS protection on all IPs, free KVM/IPMI, free IP/ASN announcement — no feature paywalling
- + Published configurator pricing including unmetered upgrades (2 Gbps +$99/mo up to 10 Gbps +$599/mo)
- + Broad hardware ladder: Ryzen/EPYC/Intel, GPU AI servers, 40 TB storage boxes, up to 192 cores and 2 TB RAM
- + Bare-metal focus since 2006 with 10-minute rapid-deploy stock and a reseller/white-label program
Cons
- - Strict no-refund policy — third-party reports describe hard-fisted dispute handling
- - Unmanaged by default; management costs +$99/mo and there is no cloud-style elasticity
- - No Phoenix location and thin APAC/EU coverage (Amsterdam is newly launched, Querétaro is pre-order)
- - Backup space is an opt-in add-on; some specials are older DDR3 hardware
- - Stock is limited per location and 'value' badges on specials are marketing math
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
