★★★★★

Incredible value for the money. Our CX32 has held sub-15ms response for eight months and the NVMe disks are genuinely fast. Migration from our old host was painless.

★★★★☆

Great performance and pricing. The only downside is support is ticket-only, so complex issues can take a day to resolve. Still, the uptime has been excellent.

Been running production workloads on a dedicated AX server for three years. Rock-solid hardware, transparent billing, and the network never gives us trouble.

★★★★☆

Uptime is the best I have seen - not a single unplanned outage this year. Console is a bit spartan compared to bigger clouds, but everything just works.
