UpCloud vs. Virtuozzo Application Platform

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.

In case you want a cheaper PaaS that may be available in your country (Brazil, in my case), you may give Jelastic a try. There are some other strong competitors for the PaaS scenario with free versions, but the paid versions are far more expensive.

• Easy to use, the interface guides you to create your application.
• Custom SSL certificate. You can upload your own certificates and it will configure them for you.

• 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!

• SSH is still tricky to use. You have to log in to a gateway and go to an option menu to get logged in. Sometimes it was not available or too slow.
• Some errors are not clear enough. It took some time to understand which files I had to upload to get my custom SSL certificates working.

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 price of Jelastic for the paid version (considering SSL) is better.

• To us as a business it was not as useful as DigitalOcean
