ReliableSite
Pros

- + 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)

- + 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

- + DDoS Shield included, one IPv4 free per server, free /64 IPv6 blocks
- + Network-heavy reference customers (Discord, bunny.net, Nodecraft, Livepeer) validate traffic-spike resilience
Cons
- - $240/mo entry price excludes small and hobby workloads entirely
- - No cloud platform services: no snapshots, managed databases or autoscaling groups
- - Custom hardware, BYO IP and top uplink tiers are quote-only through sales
- - Thin third-party documentation and community content outside the company's own support
