Vultr
Pros
- + Truly global: 34 regions on six continents from one console, one API, one price list - with per-region test IPs published
- + Fully published hourly and monthly pricing from $2.50/mo, mature REST API and Terraform provider
- + 100% network and host-node uptime SLA with credits; standardized platform behavior across every region
- + Broad self-serve catalog: NVMe optimized VMs, NVIDIA/AMD GPUs, bare metal, managed databases/Kafka, S3-compatible object storage, VKE
Cons
- - Price-performance trails European leaders: our measured HF 2GB (Amsterdam) had the slowest NVMe storage of six tested providers at a mid-range price
- - Backups cost 20% of instance price, snapshots bill per GB, Windows and extra egress are add-ons
- - No refunds in the terms of service; support is ticket-only for self-serve customers
- - Overlapping instance families (Cloud Compute, VX1, Optimized) make it easy to pick a stale SKU; region count differs across Vultr's own pages (32/33/34)
Constant (Choopa)
Pros
- + One platform across 33 regions: VMs, bare metal, GPU clusters, storage, managed databases, Kubernetes
- + Credit-backed 100% uptime SLA covering network and host node — stronger than most rivals on paper
- + Public, consistent pricing with hourly billing capped at 672 hours/month; mature API, CLI, Terraform support
- + Real bare metal range from 4-core E3 boxes to 128-core EPYC and 8-way H100/B200 GPU systems
- + BGP sessions with full tables, BYOIP, IPv6 in every region, free Anycast DNS
Cons
- - The brand in this listing is retired — Choopa was folded into Vultr in 2022 and no longer sells under its own name
- - Bare metal entry (~$120/mo) costs more than European specialists for comparable-era hardware
- - DDoS filtering beyond built-in mitigation is a $10/mo per-instance add-on; snapshots and backups also cost extra
- - Ticket-based big-platform support rather than the named-account service old Choopa customers knew
- - Billing edge cases: stopped instances can still bill on some lines, and percentage-based backups add up
