Итоговая оценка удержана
The evidence coverage is insufficient for a single overall score. The dimension results below are evidence assessments, not a universal quality ranking.
Вывод
A useful US-focused option with a machine-readable configurator. The assessment withholds an overall score because the API does not state IPv4/IPv6 allocation or backup pricing, and no independent performance evidence exists.
Аспекты
Assessed dimensions have a score and rationale. Not-assessed dimensions remain visibly unknown; they are not assigned a neutral score.
| Аспект | Статус | Оценка | Обоснование и доказательства |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location fit | assessed | 4 / 5 | Seven US data centers are listed with per-plan availability in the configurator capture. |
| Network performance | not assessed | Итоговая оценка удержана | No independent throughput, latency or packet-loss test was run on this provider. |
| Policies and limitations | assessed | 2 / 5 | IPv4/IPv6 assignment, backup pricing and refund terms were not stated in the captured pages. |
| Price transparency | assessed | 3 / 5 | USD prices are machine-readable and exclude VAT. Annual prepayment discounts are described but not normalized into the recorded monthly price. |

| Specifications | assessed | 4 / 5 | vCPU, RAM, disk and port speed are available from the configurator API; unlimited traffic is provider-stated rather than metered. |
| Support and reliability | not assessed | Итоговая оценка удержана | No support interaction or independent reliability data was collected. |
