Pros and cons

Strengths

  • Unmetered 1 Gbps bandwidth and a /48 IPv6 block on every plan
  • Block storage slabs at $1.25/mo per 256 GB and 5 free snapshots per location
  • Tor relays/exits and BGP sessions are officially permitted

Limitations

  • Small plans are frequently out of stock; the marketing site still shows legacy Intel pricing
  • DDoS protection costs $3/mo per IPv4 and nightly backups cost 10% of the plan price
  • Only monthly billing, no hourly option; refunds limited to 3 days on card/PayPal

Acceptable use

Tor exit, relay and bridge nodes are explicitly allowed (open a ticket, block SMTP ports); content policy is 'law of the land' of the hosting country; unsolicited email is grounds for termination. VPN, proxy, scraping, mining and torrents are not specifically addressed in the AUP.
