Tilaa
Pros
- + Dutch jurisdiction and Dutch-only datacenters — clean GDPR/data-sovereignty story
- + Unusually transparent spec sheet: CPU share percentages, RAID10 SSD details and fair-use traffic are all published
- + Included extras that competitors charge for: layer-4 DDoS protection, dedicated IPv4+IPv6, one free snapshot, unlimited fair-use traffic
- + 18 years of operating history with ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and ISAE 3402 Type 1 certifications
- + EC2-compatible metadata service and a real API, so standard cloud-init tooling works
Cons
- - Netherlands only — no US, APAC or multi-region footprint
- - Cores are percentage shares (60-80% per core), so the same vCPU count means less compute than elsewhere
- - Promotional entry pricing reverts to 40-60% higher list prices after six months
- - Managed backups (€0.161/GB/month) and extra snapshots are paid add-ons; free snapshot kept only 3 months
- - Hourly billing claimed in older listings is not verifiable on current pages — billing appears monthly
VPSDime
Pros
- + Best-in-class RAM per dollar on the standard line: $5/mo entry up to 288 GB RAM at $336/mo on 10 Gbps uplinks
- + Honest, complete plan tables, flat monthly pricing with no contracts or overage fees, and prices unchanged since 2013
- + Premium VPS line is true KVM with dedicated CPU/RAM/disk and nightly backups included; Windows VPS bundles the license from $15/mo
- + Ticket support with a stated sub-15-minute response, 99.99% power/network SLA with credits, 72-hour first-order refund
Cons
- - No real DDoS mitigation: larger attacks are null-routed and the vendor recommends Cloudflare
- - Standard Linux line is container-based with shared CPU; true isolation costs 4x per GB on the Premium line
- - No API, no managed tier, ticket-only support, and a somewhat opaque corporate structure (Nodisto FZE / Nodisto IT / Winity)
- - Backups cost $5/mo with 3-day retention outside Premium; traffic overage suspends the VPS after 24 hours
