DediRock review: operated by Atlas Cloud LLC (Florida), a budget newcomer of the past year with datacenters in Los Angeles and Buffalo, NY. Five KVM tiers from $5.99 to $34.99/mo, all with 1 IPv4, a 1 Gbps port and free setup; storage tiers go as low as $17.38/yr for 1 TB. But there's **no China-optimized routing, no Looking Glass, no itemized payment methods and no stated founding date** — we lay out those gaps honestly and what you should and shouldn't run on it.
✓ Pros
- Cheap: KVM from $5.99/mo with 1 IPv4, 1 Gbps and free setup
- Very low storage pricing: 1 TB at $17.38/yr, 2 TB at $27.48/yr
- Two sites (LA and Buffalo) covering both US coasts
- Promo batches have offered near-cost $8.88/yr tiers
- KVM virtualization scaling up to 8 cores / 16 GB
× Cons
- No CN2 GIA / AS9929 / CMIN2 routing, and no published three-carrier AS paths
- No Looking Glass test IP — you can't measure before buying
- Payment methods are not itemized on the site
- No stated founding date; third parties suggest around Oct 2025 — a short track record
- Yearly specials are limited batches that may be sold out or repriced
- English-only support
1. Up front: this is a newcomer
DediRock is operated by Atlas Cloud LLC (Florida). The site does not state a founding date; third-party sources suggest it launched around October 2025 — roughly a year of history. We won't declare it trustworthy or not on that basis, but we will give clear advice: treat it as non-critical workloads plus your own backups. The common risk with cheap newcomers isn't absconding, it's oversubscription, slow incident recovery, sudden repricing or retired plans.
2. Plans (its strength)
Go to DediRockFive KVM tiers, all with 1 IPv4, a 1 Gbps port and free setup:
| Plan | CPU | RAM | SSD | Traffic | Monthly | Buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1 core | 1 GB | 20 GB | 750 GB | $5.99 | Buy now |
| Essentials | 2 cores | 2 GB | 40 GB | 1 TB | $8.99 | Buy now |
| Plus | 4 cores | 4 GB | 100 GB | 2 TB | $12.99 | Buy now |
| Advanced | 6 cores | 8 GB | 200 GB | 2 TB | $19.99 | Buy now |
| Premium | 8 cores | 16 GB | 300 GB | 4 TB | $34.99 | Buy now |
The mid tiers are the sweet spot: 4 cores / 4 GB / 100 GB at $12.99 and 6 cores / 8 GB / 200 GB at $19.99 undercut most US hosts.
3. Storage tiers — the genuinely interesting line
Go to DediRockStorage plans trade CPU and RAM for capacity at a very low unit price:
| CPU | RAM | Disk | Traffic / Port | Price | Buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 core | 512 MB | 256 GB | 1 TB / 1 Gbps | $11.68/yr | Buy now |
| 1 core | 1 GB | 1 TB | 2 TB / 1 Gbps | $17.38/yr | Buy now |
| 1 core | 2 GB | 2 TB | 4 TB / 1 Gbps | $27.48/yr | Buy now |
1 TB at $17.38/yr is about a dollar a month — genuinely good for offsite backups, personal cloud and offline downloads. For contrast, matching 1 TB on InterServer means 25 slices at $75/mo. ⚠️ These yearly figures come from promo restock batches and may be gone; the regular storage entry lists at $5.99/mo. And mind the envelope: 512 MB-2 GB with one core suits sync and storage duty, not databases.
4. Routing — the main weakness
DediRock advertises no China-optimized routing and publishes no three-carrier AS paths; treat it as plain international transit. Worse, there's no Looking Glass or test IP, so you cannot measure anything before ordering. Practical advice: buy one month ($5.99) as a test box, and only then consider a yearly term or migrating workloads. The savings on a yearly special won't cover a year of unusable routing.
5. Scoring & verdict
Go to DediRockEditorial scores based on published specs, transparency and operating history — not measured benchmarks. The low marks reflect information gaps and a short track record more than product quality.
| Dimension | Score | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | 7 / 10 | KVM + SSD with good mid-tier price/spec |
| Network | 6 / 10 | 1 Gbps ports, but no China route, no AS paths, no test IP |
| Stability | 6 / 10 | About a year of history — too short to judge |
| Support | 6 / 10 | English-only; payments and founding date undisclosed |
| Value | 8 / 10 | Genuinely cheap; 1 TB storage at $17/yr is attractive |
In one line: cheap it certainly is, and the storage tiers are a bargain — but with opaque routing and a short history, use it as a cheap second box, not your primary.
