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
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
