servinga
Pros
- + Own hardware and network at 9 locations across 8 European countries plus Dallas, deployable at every tier
- + Transparent prepaid pricing with published per-unit upgrade costs and a throttle-not-suspend traffic policy
- + Backup slot with auto-backup, IPv4 + IPv6, KVM root access and 90-second provisioning included as standard
- + €3/month IPv6-only line with optional /64 subnet is strong value for network-centric workloads
Cons
- - Uplinks capped at 100-500 Mbit/s (gigabit is a paid upgrade); no CPU models published
- - Entry plan is thin (1 vCPU/1 GB, Linux only) and Windows effectively starts at €10/month
- - 48-hour money-back window is too short to load-test; support is ticket-based on a self-managed product
- - Less compute per euro than measured leaders like Hetzner Cloud at the 2-4 GB tier
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)
