Pricing & terms
Global clouds like Vultr often bill compute, bandwidth and extras separately, which is flexible but harder to predict. We aim to avoid surprise egress or add-on bills.
Performance & specs
Vultr's worldwide region network reaches far more of the globe than our two regions, Singapore and Germany.
Both are genuinely fast — ours sits on a ZFS mirror for snapshot-friendly backups and data integrity.
A dedicated IPv4 ships with the box on both sides — table stakes, and we treat it that way.
Management & support
Backups and snapshots come with every Nxeon plan rather than being a paid option you have to enable.
Both support resizing your instance — ours is a single click with no rebuild step.
DDoS protection is always-on here. Vultr offers it as an add-on in some products rather than a universal default.
Platform & ecosystem
Game servers are a headline use case here with one-click setups. On Vultr you'd build it yourself on a plain instance.
Both offer a marketplace of one-click app templates to start from.
Both offer a browser-based console for out-of-band access when SSH isn't an option.
Why the move sticks
Backups and DDoS protection are default, not add-ons
Automatic daily backups, instant snapshots and always-on DDoS protection ship with every plan, not as options you have to enable.
Game servers in one click, not a build project
Minecraft, Rust, Valheim, Palworld and CS2 templates come with sensible defaults — versus building it yourself on a plain instance.

Common questions
Straight answers, including the ones that favor Vultr.
Is Nxeon a good Vultr alternative?
If you want predictable all-in pricing, Asia-Pacific and European latency and managed conveniences like daily backups, snapshots, one-click resize and game-server templates, Nxeon is a focused alternative. Vultr is a strong choice if you need a broad global region network and a self-service cloud with many product options.
How does billing differ?
Nxeon uses simple all-in monthly plans with a dedicated IPv4 included and no credit card required to sign up — we aim to avoid surprise egress or add-on bills. Global clouds like Vultr often bill compute, bandwidth and extras separately, which can be more flexible but harder to predict.
Which is better for global reach?
Vultr has a large worldwide region network, so if you need points of presence across many continents it's well suited. Nxeon focuses on two real regions, Singapore and Falkenstein, Germany, for strong Asia-Pacific and European latency rather than a much larger global footprint.
Can I run game servers more easily on Nxeon?
Yes. Game servers are a first-class use case with one-click setups for Minecraft, Rust, Valheim, Palworld, CS2 and Terraria, plus a ~47s median deploy. On a general cloud you'd typically configure all of that yourself.
Do I keep full root access?
Yes — full root over SSH on NVMe storage backed by a self-healing ZFS mirror, plus a noVNC console and an AI build console for when you need them.
