UltraVPS
Pros
- + 25+ years operating (since 1999), German-registered company with reachable Bochum office
- + Competitive EU pricing: SSD Cloud-30 at €4.50/mo (2 cores, 2 GB, 2 TB transfer), SAS line from €3.00/mo
- + Six locations across EU, UK and US on ISO-certified, Tier-3-spec facilities with documented power/fire systems
- + ZFS storage with checksums, ECC Xeon hosts, KVM/BHYVE with full kernel control
- + Reseller program with API and WHMCS module; per-location looking glasses; 10 IPv6 addresses per plan
Cons
- - No published SLA with credits — only qualitative guarantees and a status page
- - No backup or snapshot product: ZFS redundancy is not point-in-time recovery
- - Contract terms of 1-6 months on cheapest plans; PayPal-only first invoice
- - Old-school plan catalog: SAS tiers top out at 250 GB, RAM caps at 32 GB on Cloud; no NVMe/GPU/bare-metal
- - Small team: no published support response targets; site claims 7 locations but lists 6
BuyVM
Pros
- + Cheapest serious block storage we track: $1.25/256 GB, $5/TB per month, hot-migratable slabs
- + Unmetered 1 Gbps bandwidth on every slice — no egress metering to model
- + Cheap, credible DDoS filtering at $3/month per IP (3.5+ Tbps pooled, Path.net-backed)
- + Real KVM with custom ISOs, full disk encryption, and a free DirectAdmin license
- + 16-year track record with a support reputation that outclasses the price point
Cons
- - Stock shortages on popular slices and locations are routine; no elastic scaling
- - Self-managed only — no managed tier, no object storage product, no autoscaling API
- - Only three locations (Las Vegas, New York, Luxembourg); no Asia-Pacific presence
- - Modest 99.9% SLA with application-layer floods excluded; credits handled via TOS
- - No downgrades, and nightly backups cost extra (10% of base price)
