Dedicated nodes, self-hosted nodes, bare metal and private endpoint customization

Comparison updated: 2026-09-12

Coverage: 6/15 providers have at least one evidenced comparison dimension; 0/15 have evidence in every dimension.

> “Not publicly verified” means the captured primary-source pages did not provide sufficient evidence for that cell. It does not mean the provider lacks the capability.

How to read this comparison

  • Each column is a buyer-relevant dimension for this topic.
  • Publicly evidenced means a direct vendor source supports that dimension; it is not an inferred capability score.
  • Follow the source links to verify exact scope, availability and contract terms.

Research priorities

  1. Replace “not publicly verified” cells with direct product, documentation, trust-center or contractual evidence.
  2. Add quantitative values where the topic supports like-for-like comparison (latency, throughput, chain count, SLA or support response time).
  3. Re-check volatile claims before external sales use; the dated research log remains the provenance trail.
