Beget

Pros

• Very low entry prices, including a free plan and shared plans from a few hundred rubles a month
• A broad cloud catalogue: VPS, managed MySQL and PostgreSQL, S3 storage, Kubernetes, CDN and an AI gateway
• A Terraform provider and public API let developers manage VPS and S3 storage as code
• A 30-day trial on shared hosting and free automatic backups on VPS
• Support around the clock by ticket, phone and Telegram, and a user review praised the support

Cons

• A cyberattack on 2 November 2026 caused a long multi-day outage, with only part of hosting restored by 5 November
• Regions are concentrated in Russia and nearby countries, which limits global latency and compliance options
• Prices are in rubles, and the main audience and documentation are Russian-language
• Automatic VPS backups run only every few days, not daily
• The load balancer, GPU VPS and bare metal products were still listed as in development

Gcore

Pros

• The CDN includes 1 TB of traffic and 1 billion requests free each month, and traffic after that starts at 0.01 EUR per GB.
• DDoS protection pricing does not depend on attack size, and mitigation is not metered on any plan.
• The managed Kubernetes control plane is free with high availability, so you pay only for the nodes.
• A large edge footprint, reported at about 210 PoPs and 200 Tbps of capacity, suits latency-sensitive workloads such as gaming and streaming.
• Headquarters in Luxembourg is an advantage for buyers who prefer an EU-based provider.

Cons

• Trustpilot scores are around 2.5 out of 5, with complaints about recurring billing, refunds, and slow support.
• There is no public price list for VMs and bare metal; prices are only available through the calculator.
• The Terraform v2 provider is still in alpha and Gcore says it is not ready for production.
• The product range is very broad, which can make it harder for small teams to understand how pricing works.
