How so? I understand that there are some differences between the two, but the fundamentals are the same; which is that I want a physical server that I can manage.
Their pricing structures are slightly different, Versaweb gives me a bit more flexibility when configuring, a wider IP subnet bundled (instead of 1 usable IP), and a few other things which I'm investigating.
I also have to consider laws and network latency as these are in different regions.
In the end, I am paying $180 for a Haswell Xeon with lots of disk space and IO. I could pay the same amount for more RAM on the same CPU, albeit with slightly less space.
If I keep the same setup at a fraction of the cost, I could end up getting the 1080 GPU on the same datacenter. It somehow feels like the same or similar market to my needs ...

They're on different continents, which is a pretty fundamental difference.
