VPS.bg
Pros
- + Coherent privacy-first design: self-funded since 2013, own Bitcoin wallet since 2014, no third-party cookies, minimal-information signup
- + AMD SEV-SNP confidential computing and dedicated-core VDS tiers on current EPYC hardware with NVMe
- + Concrete contract terms: 99.99% uptime guarantee with pro-rated credits, 15-day first-service refund, published DPA under Bulgarian law
- + Strong Sofia network: redundant 10 Gbps nodes, Tier 1 upstreams, NetIX peering, public looking glass
Cons
- - Roughly twice the price per compute of measured value leaders at the entry and mid tiers
- - Single datacenter (Sofia) - no region choice and one failure domain for global or US-facing workloads
- - Backups (EUR 0.05/GB), DDoS-protected IPs (from EUR 10/IP/mo) and Windows licensing (EUR 5/core/mo) are paid add-ons
- - No published public API and no managed tier; ticket support with a 24h response target
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)
