    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.

    Zadara
    I only used it as a proof of concept for some products. For me, it seemed to be focused on the European market, but it´s a pretty new cloud provider in comparison to other major competitors like Amazon and Azure which are much more developed, so they are still missing some functionality and features.

    Cons
    UpCloud
    • 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!

    • VMs misses some functionality like being able to swap the boot disk.
    • To allocate storage to the VM, you need to configure iscsi connections from both ends.
    • Marketplace still missing major products.

    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.

    Zadara is a new cloud provider, so it does not have all functionalities and features as its major competitors like Amazon Cloud and MS Azure. It is up to you to test it, but personally, I still prefer MS Azure as a cloud provider.

    • No real impact, as I only used it for some proof of concept.
    • New cloud provider still missing some features and functionality.
    • An alternative cloud provider hopefully cheaper than its competitors.
