The value for the cloud VPS plans by FastComet is vastly higher for the higher tier configurations. The price increases only slightly when choosing more powerful plans but the allocated web server resources increase way more.
Same renewal price
The monthly price is honest and does not increase when renewing. However, there is a small setup fee if you select monthly billing rather than 3 month billing cycles.
Expensive backups
Daily offsite backups is expensive to add at $19.95/mo which is a pretty big drawback. Other hosts like with the VPS plans by Hostwinds you would only need to pay a couple of dollars a month for this unless your backup file sizes are really large.
Data center locations
Lots of data center locations are a huge good thing about this web hosting plan and might make the rather steep price worth it to many.

All of the web hosting plans by FastComet renews at the same initial prices, and their dedicated server hosting is no exception. You might want to compare these servers vs. those offered by LiquidWeb which also offers "no fancy" monthly billing. You can get the listed price here with monthly billing, and currently, there are no discounts for going with longer billing cycles.
Included in the price
You get a lot of nice features included with these servers. All SSD storage, choice of your preferred location in of the 8 different global data center locations, included cPanel/WHM and lots of server hardware resources. Network out speeds starting at 5000 Mbit and increasing for the more expensive servers.
Expensive backups and add-ons
The daily cloud backups currently costs $24.95/mo and includes 10 independent daily snapshots. The SpamExperts addon is also expensive at about $20/mo.
Great customer guarantees
I like that there are no setup fees for these servers and also that they have a 7 day money back guarantee.
