    Vultr
    Chose Vultr
    I just like the Vultr environment. DigitalOcean, for example, has many restrictions about the configuration of 25 ports (email server) and this is really bad for my business. Linode has had security issues in the past, someone has stolen data from one user on their platform. I …

    Chose Vultr
    Vultr has a greater offering of servers whilst staying reasonably priced compared to some of the larger infrastructure providers. They may not have all the services as some of the other providers but they don't need it when they can do what they do with the services they provide.

    Chose Vultr
    We did extensive performance comparisons and testing and Vultr was not only better priced, but much better on the performance and speed.

    Chose Vultr
    Vultr has better support and competitive pricing. The network is solid and globally deployed. IP reputation is clean, and security is tight. Ease of use and documentation is really good. User experience has been the best I ever experienced. Low stress, reliable …

    They are very similar but we are more comfortable with Vultr

    Chose Vultr
    From the perspective of the above, Vultr provides the best balance of cost vs. performance for us. Cloudways stacks a large fee for each VPS you spin up, and this quickly escalates. Linode comes closest (at least when I used it a few years ago) to Vultr, and 3 years ago this …

    Linode: Similar pricing, changed our business over to Vultr to save credit card fees by using Crypto.
    Digital Ocean: Fast and reliable, same pricing didn't stay because the payment methods (Similar case to Linode)
    Hetzner: Good pricing, good reputation, limited locations.

    Chose Vultr
    Digital ocean is not an option. I find digital ocean's platform to feel better polished (even if it is not actually). while Vultr has a lot of promise, and definitely delivers, it still feels like an upstart where digital ocean feels more established. this was fine for a while, …

    Chose Vultr
    The Linode data center in Dallas is absolute trash. Nothing but constant issues. I moved a server to Vultr Dallas and it was 1000% better. Digital Ocean is OK, but I'm baked into Vultr for quite some times. Re-architecting would be cost-prohibitive.

    Chose Vultr
    In its price range I would say Vultr is above the competition, while the "premium" providers are too expensive and don't bring significant improvement.

    Chose Vultr
    Vultr started out primarily as a VM-only provider, but has since expanded offerings and locations to be a serious alternative for a lot of businesses currently using a large, expensive cloud provider. Vultr may not be for everyone or every workload, but there are many …
