Time4VPS
Pros
- + Among the cheapest real KVM VPS in the EU: entry Linux plans from €2.99/month, Storage VPS from €2.22/month
- + EU jurisdiction with a Tier III-level Vilnius datacenter, 100 Gbps capacity and five transit providers
- + Full Windows VPS product line, KVM virtualization, custom ISO upload and native IPv6 included
- + Resource upgrades without restart or OS reinstall; 30-day money-back guarantee
- + Managed Linux VPS line available (from €27.99/month) for teams that want hands-off operations
Cons
- - Single datacenter in Vilnius — no location choice, weaker latency outside Europe
- - Headline discounts require 1-2 year terms; renewals jump up to 2.7× on large plans
- - No backups included on any plan — paid add-on with overwrite-style retention and restore fees
- - Support is ticket/knowledge-base only; no free migration service
- - 100 Mbps ports on catalog plans limit sustained throughput despite large bandwidth allowances
NexusBytes
Pros
- + Ryzen + NVMe hardware at budget prices: 2 vCore / 2 GB from $6.40/month (annual), budget LA plans from $4/month
- + Eight locations on four continents from a single small provider — NYC, LA, Miami, Naaldwijk, London, Singapore, Tokyo, Melbourne
- + DDoS protection, IPv4 plus /64 IPv6, instant provisioning, and à-la-carte upgrades published openly
- + Virtual dedicated line gives true dedicated Ryzen vCores from $19.20/month
- + Candid policy writing: fair-share rules, SLA exceptions, and published looking glasses
Cons
- - Very small operator (founder-run Connecticut LLC) — counterparty risk compared with larger chains
- - Self-managed by default; DirectAdmin management is a paid add-on
- - Best prices require annual commitment; monthly terms cost roughly 25% more
- - SLA is 99.9% monthly with case-by-case credits and a broad exception list (maintenance, hardware failure, DDoS, peering)
- - Fair-share CPU and port speed on standard VPS; APAC plans ship with much lower transfer allowances
