If you're looking for a cost-effective solution then this is a good choice, be sure to keep on top of your balance! The 100% uptime is also a nice addition, although not unique in a cloud hosting service.

  • The billing reports are quite hard to read, could be simplified
  • A control panel function would be useful
  • The re-billing process could be better, not so cut throat if you miss a payment!

SCloud Pte. Ltd.
Arguably the top name for 'lightweight' cloud compute product in the market, but is so much more complicated to start with more configurations, images and templates. We know what we want and proceeded to try SCloud ULightHost to satisfaction. Good pricing point that is transparent without fear of sudden bill shock from free credits expiration etc from AWS who collect credit card.

We trialed UpCloud to see if it would be better than DigitalOcean but for our needs, it was not. On DigitalOcean once a droplet is created, almost no thought needs to go into maintenance, outages, or other reliability-based issues.

  • The low cost means you don't really need to worry about pricing
  • To us as a business it was not as useful as DigitalOcean
