Strengths
- Swiss/EU-only zones (Zurich, Geneva, Vienna, Frankfurt, Munich, Sofia, Zagreb) with per-second billing and the same price in every zone
- Public IPv4 and IPv6 included and about 1 TiB/month of outbound traffic free per instance
- Full API, CLI, Terraform and Ansible support plus GPU, CPU-, memory- and storage-optimised families
Trade-offs
- Root storage is billed separately at about $0.10/GB-month, so a 50 GB Micro costs about $10.4/mo, not $5.3
- No regions outside Europe and no hourly-capped monthly price
- Windows licence is charged even while an instance is stopped and Trustpilot has only 2 reviews
