Been with for my corporate sites for a couple years now. Tried them all 1&1, siteground, digital ocean, azure, amazon, linode, and ovh. Vultr is the best, for sites where you are technical and still want a gui.

The new servers, High Frequency Compute are nice and fast, great price, I switched over from the regular cloud ones to this and really think its worth the little bit more in terms of price. Like that you can also get plesk for free for 3 domains, I have the paid one but its so great being able to control your server- unlike places like siteground- where everyday there is a new error or some kind of issue with people connecting to your site, and you cannot fix it yourself but have to talk to support.

If you are shopping for a new host, try them out before putting the site into production, I think you will be happy.

Great VPS Provider
July 13, 2017

I must say I am certainly impressed with the professionalism and the infrastructure of Vultr. They are precisely what I am looking for in a VPS provider with a fair price compared to alternatives. My communications with support are generally quick and they have been able to accommodate me. Haven't run into any issues with the service in terms of slow-down or outages.

I setup my VPN by myself (barely, it was super difficult and I'm a technical person, I've built PC's for years). They are nice people but nice doesn't cut it when you need support. Their support is almost none existent. They have documents on their website, but the documents are difficult to find and follow. I tried to reach out to support telling them I was a novice user and wanting documents to use features of the VPN I was paying for and received a one sentence high level answer that didn't make sense to me. After a few emails with support, it was clear that I needed another VPN that could help me out when I needed it. Their price was low, and that attracted me to their service, but you get what you pay for. If you are a VPN expert, I would say Vultr is a good choice but if you need any help at all, I would choose a VPN company with a more robust support team/structure.

NEVER EVER use vultr
August 1, 2022

NEVER EVER use vultr. Appropriate name for the company. There charges are unclear and in order to escape their hell they'll charge you.

Do yourself a favor and find a legitimate company.

Nobody wishing to create a website should accept a zero-tolerance DMCA policy by a host that would expect websites to be perfect at preventing copyright infringement and being expected to voluntary to remove them without a DMCA notice. Any website that allows posting can be abused for piracy, and owners cannot monitor all files at once to make sure they are compliant with the law (especially if there are tons of users). A tolerance this low means this company deserves to go bankrupt or change their policy for forcing web owners to do something impossible.

According to this techdirt article "Adland Shuts Down After Web Host Complies With Bull$h! T DMCA Notice", Adland had to shut down due to a response of this server host when receiving a DMCA notice from Bridgestone Tires. Instead of locking up the site and unlocking once the DMCA notices are followed, they would rather perma-ban this site off their network, stating they must migrate to a new server within 24 hours. This is just *ONE* DMCA notice, and this host is sensitive to this.

Screw this "self-copyright-enforcement" on how they deal this "repeat-infringer policy"- oh wait, it isn't a repeat policy, its a zero-tolerance.

This is like instead of getting 3 copyright strikes on youtube to get you banned, just getting ONE now gets you banned.

Just to warn you, not all DMCA notices are true, as they can be sent in error, in an attempt to censor, and rarely, to extort people.

This is one of the "above the law" "voluntary" enforcement actions by companies thinking that liability and pressure should be increased in their own hands:
-Google banning "kodi" from the search term because it was "associated with piracy". Kodi, itself is completely legal. Funny that so far to now, Youtube have tons of videos on getting Kodi addons that facilitate piracy, and not many are taken down by youtube.
-ProFreeHost bans any and all "torrent" files even when they are not infringing copyright.

These companies are overly-chilled (chilling effect).
