I use+like vultr: it's like a better digital ocean. I can often fit more than one service onto a single $5 node. (referral link: http://www.vultr.com/?ref=6993

- luhn 10y agoBesides the extra memory on the $5 node, what makes Vultr better than DO?
- boyter 10y agoMore data centre choices, storage nodes with spinning rust backed disks with lots of space are two. The support is not even close though.
- rickycook 10y agoout of my limited benchmarking, i get faster network and disk speeds on vultr than DO. this might just be an anomaly because my tests are far from thorough, but i think worthy of mention still
- daurnimator 10y ago- CPU seems to be a bit faster than DO - More data centres (notably for me: one in Australia (sydney)) - Allow using any operating system/distro you want (just upload the ISO) - Free snapshots (for now...) Otherwise I get a much better 'vibe' out of them: they've been helpful when I request slightly odd things, have been fast to respond to security issues, etc.
- daurnimator 10y agoHmm, I had a closer look, and most of my instances are old 3.4GHz ones rather than the currently deployable 2.4GHz ones. See https://discuss.vultr.com/discussion/567/no-more-3-4-ghz-cpu-cores/p2 https://discuss.vultr.com/discussion/567/no-more-3-4-ghz-cpu... Though looking at https://joshtronic.com/2017/02/14/five-dollar-showdown-linode-vs-digitalocean-vs-lightsaild-vs-vultr/ https://joshtronic.com/2017/02/14/five-dollar-showdown-linod... the current ones still aren't that bad.
