	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Follow-up after 6 months. One re-boot for some back-end hardware work, but decent warning and explanation. Else the VM has been flawless and performance remains solid. One request for help which was a mis-understanding on my part of the VM's network interfaces. Support was quick, accurate, helpful and polite. In spite of having to use a credit-card (instead of crypto) I added more money to my account with the expectation of continuing to use LightNode's service. Billing has been low maintenance and hassle-free so far. There are some featured country nodes, which is why I chose them. The price is also very cheap, and after testing there is no significant overselling. The network is stable and I have deployed both WordPress and WooCommerce without any inaccessibility. Sadly no pros in this service. I tried hard to get a refund, but they do not care about it so i can't give any pros. I've only used it for a week, but: - Good performance (low-end instance). - Works pretty much as expected. - Decent pricing. Cons As last time (and some may have changed because I didn't go through the latest news before writing this.) - Crypto payments would be welcome. - Better flexibility with elastic IP's. - Better flexibility with mountable volumes. - Cheap block/object storage for backup reasons would be nice. No cPanel yet, can only use the WordPress application image they provide to deploy. Single product category, only VPS. Not recommended for these reasons: - RDP they provide not elastic IPs are different with Server - RDP Are low Quality with different langue for example if you take the RDP of the UK you will get a system with Chinese language - Support does not care about your case - Poor Service Poor Servers Poor Support - Cannot pay using cryptocurrency - I wish IPV4 addresses could be leases/switched more flexibly, but I've not had that problem yet. - Block Storage says cannot be mounted on a different instance. Neutral: failure to look up a benign domain addy with supplied nameservers, but adding to resolv.conf fixed the issue.
