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)
- + 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
OVHcloud

- + Entry VPS pricing undercuts nearly every comparable provider for the specs
- + Anti-DDoS and daily automatic backup included on all VPS tiers
- + EU data residency with GDPR, HDS and SecNumCloud options

- + Own hardware, network and data centers — few middlemen in the chain
Cons

- - Snapshots and premium backups are paid add-ons
- - Control panel is dense and dated next to newer hosts
- - Web hosting renewals jump to several times the introductory price
