    It includes everything that vultr has, but the only downside is that snapshots costs in digitalocean while in vultr it does not. Otherwise, same price, simple interface and hourly billing.

    Probably the main competitor to DigitalOcean, very similar in all possible aspects but offers some more locations and better infrastructure as the company is younger and smaller than DigitalOcean. The best alternative without doubt.

    Better support that actually gives you time to solve potential issues with your servers instead of silently throwing you out. So if you don't like to play Russian roulette with your business, choose Linode over Digitalocean.

    Uptime is great and I must also say that the speed of connectivity is pretty fast. Dedicatedcore is a cool web host. On the navigation menu, there are live stats/information about your space & bandwidth usage. For me, it is the principal aggregate value.

    Their servers are cheap, but stay away from the ARMv7 servers tho as they're unstable. Also, beware of the strange IPv6 implementation which assigns a new IPv6 address to your server on every reboot.

    A smaller provider focusing on 'physicalisation' in oppose to 'virtualisation'. Basically dedicated servers with the same flexibility as a cloud VPS. A great concept that offers true dedicated performance for a really great price.
