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
Tencent Cloud
Pros
- + 22 regions and 64 AZs with mainland China coverage that Western clouds cannot offer
- + Published per-hour CVM price lists by region and per-second pay-as-you-go billing
- + Published 99.975% single-instance SLA with 10-400 Gbps baseline DDoS protection included
- + Trial-based Free Tier across 30+ products (CVM 2C4G free for 3 months) plus aggressive new-user pricing
- + Native WeChat, mini-program and gaming ecosystem integration
Cons
- - Mainland China compliance (ICP registration, data law) is heavy friction for Western buyers
- - Documentation and console experience are inconsistent, with machine-translated pages
- - Sales-and-ticket support model; community ecosystem is thin outside Asia
- - Promotional pricing is the headline — steady-state costs on modern instance families are closer to hyperscaler rates
- - Price list is reference-only; actual order pricing governs
