Cost and ease of development by not throwing thousand of options in front of your screen.
Last time, I checked GCP costed me $26 (+ hidden charges) for the same I could get on many other places for $7. Some of them provide instant customer support too and are better because it's not an outsourced customer center in India or other places.

Some prefer managed infrastructure and want to write code. Though, you can do that via GKM but prefer more straightforward approach.

Colocation for those who have big infrastructure needs and developers will cost them less.

Disclaimer: not associated with any of them. Have used some of them and for others, heard great things.
You can easily go lower for less support and most likely a shit interface with some reliability issues.
- q-base 7y agoThanks a lot for the long list. I am in the midst of considering switch of hosting provider, so it is nice to know some of the options.
- porker 7y agoAlso: UpCloud https://www.upcloud.com https://www.upcloud.com
- ksec 7y agoI have been keeping an eye on them too, along with DO, Linode, Vultr. If I remember correctly UpCloud has disabled HT due to Intel's security issues, so all of their Core are really Single Core and not a Single Thread. They seems to be working hard [1] with 10! more DC planned in 2020. The entire Hosting market is growing like crazy!

- mike_d 7y agoWowRack still has a notorious reputation for hosting spammers.
- EugeneOZ 7y agoIt's not "the same". GCP network quality and performance is much better.
- tomxor 7y ago> ease of development by not throwing thousand of options in front of your screen. This! i don't want to spend my life navigating the maze of options and hidden costs of AWS et al, this is important to most projects for two reasons - time and cognitive load... Until things get truly massive scale, it's not worth the brain drain and time is more precious. Navigating the interface of Linode is actually pleasant and takes minimum effort. If anyone needs a reason not to use AWS for your boss in a nutshell: employee sanity.

- porker 7y agoA couple of posters on HN say Vultr has intermittent internal network problems. I've found no wider mention of this - can anyone confirm? I ask as their High Frequency Computer looks (and in testing has been) good, but if the internal network blips then that counts for nothing in a multi-server setup.
- theyak 7y agoWe've had network issues as well as forced shutdowns that have corrupted data. Their support was also terrible. We only spent a few weeks with Vultr because of this.
