Our review
Pros	Plans start at $6/month and scale through VPS XXL+. Full root access, Linux or Windows, and one-click app installation. Private networking, load balancing, and block and object storage.	Choose CPU, RAM, storage, operating system, and data-center location. Clone servers across data centers; use snapshots, firewalls, and private networks. Manage infrastructure through a REST API or supported control panels.
Cons	Self-managed servers require customers to administer configuration. Entry VPS S+ includes 1 vCore, 2 GB RAM, and 60 GB storage. Connection speed is capped at 1 Gbps.
