총점 보류
The evidence coverage is insufficient for a single overall score. The dimension results below are evidence assessments, not a universal quality ranking.
결론
A simple US-only option whose value depends on the renewal price. The assessment withholds an overall score because the promotion is short, no automated backups are provided, and no independent performance evidence exists.
평가 항목
Assessed dimensions have a score and rationale. Not-assessed dimensions remain visibly unknown; they are not assigned a neutral score.
| 항목 | 상태 | 점수 | 근거와 증거 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location fit | assessed | 2 / 5 | Ashburn, Virginia is the only recorded location. |
| Network performance | not assessed | 총점 보류 | No independent throughput, latency or packet-loss test was run on this provider. |
| Policies and limitations | assessed | 2 / 5 | The knowledge base states that backups are not automated; refund and SLA terms were not reviewed in depth. |
| Price transparency | assessed | 3 / 5 | Monthly prices are published with a three-month promotion and a higher renewal price that is recorded separately. |
| Source freshness | assessed | 5 / 5 | The selected official sources were observed on 2026-10-24 or 2026-10-25 and are listed below. |
| Specifications | assessed | 3 / 5 | vCPU, RAM, SSD and unmetered bandwidth are published; backup and snapshot features are absent by design. |
