Platform Guides

Atlantic.Net is a smaller provider with a specific angle: fast provisioning and compliance-oriented hosting for regulated workloads.

Most providers sell fixed instance sizes. Kamatera lets you pick CPU, RAM and disk independently, which matters more than it sounds for unbalanced workloads.

Workspace is not infrastructure, it is the layer your organisation runs on daily. The edition decision is about storage, controls and compliance rather than compute.

If your users are in Asia Pacific, network proximity beats platform familiarity. Alibaba Cloud’s regional footprint is the reason to consider it.

Storage performance is the thing most teams ignore until a database gets slow. UpCloud built its platform around it, which matters for some workloads and not others.

Kamatera lets you choose CPU, RAM and disk independently. That flexibility only pays off if your workload is genuinely unbalanced.

Hetzner is consistently the cheapest way to get real cores in Europe. The trade-off is a narrow service catalogue and a strict verification process.

UpCloud is known for storage performance, but its networking model is what makes a multi-server deployment clean rather than fiddly.

Oracle Cloud has an unusually generous always free tier and a trial that behaves differently from its competitors. The upgrade decision matters more here than elsewhere.

Hetzner is already the price leader in European cloud. Its dedicated servers are cheaper again, and the crossover point is easy to identify.
