Virtono
Pros
- + 29 locations on one uniform price list — deploying in Belgrade, Prague, Oslo, or Sydney costs the same as Los Angeles
- + KVM with dedicated CPU/RAM, full root access, and a routed /64 IPv6 subnet on every instance
- + Entry pricing at €2.50/mo is competitive for KVM with a dedicated IPv4
- + Published per-location test IPs make pre-purchase network checks possible
- + 30-day money-back guarantee and broad payment options including crypto and Alipay
Cons
- - Mid and upper tiers are priced for location choice, not compute value — more CPU per euro elsewhere
- - Thin independent uptime and track-record data for a provider of this size
- - Site inconsistency: €2.50 entry on one page, €2.95 on another; VAT added for EU buyers without a VAT ID
- - ISO 27001 and DDoS-protection claims not verifiable on the vendor site during this review
- - Self-managed only on VPS; the managed cPanel tier starts at €59.95/mo
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)
