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
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
