I've never heard of Vultr until today. Have you used it? Can you tell more about it?

  I am using Vultr, but the particular project I'm using it for doesn't put a whole lot of strain on their infrastructure yet. So far it's been working well and support was very responsive on the one occasion when I needed their help.

  Samething as DigitalOcean without the hype. 5$ SSD VPS, 768M of Ram instead of 512 at DO, the reason I moved in at first. The popularity clearly helps DO keeping up with more 1 click apps and other features than Vultr, but they recently made available reserved IPs and Object Storage, so they continue to be a good alternative to DO.

  As others have said, similar to DO. It has a few more options available, though, including better support for booting your own OSes if you don't want to use a prepackaged one, and dedicated instances (last I checked DO didn't do either, but haven't looked for a bit, might be out of date). I've also found their support to be more willing to work with me to get things running how I want, but that's obviously just anecdotal.

  The thing I really like about Vultr is that to use their site, you just have to enable Vultr.com (in NoScript). For DO, you have to enable 15-20 domains because they use all kinds of outsourced services, and every time you go to a new page, there are new things that have to be enabled. I got tired of it.
