My site (zorinaq.com) runs distributed instances on 3 of the 5 mentioned providers: Digital Ocean, Vultr, and Scaleway.
I like Scaleway for their lowest price, and it's cool to have a barbone ARM server (which I chose over the x86-64 VPS) for 3€/mo.
I like Vultr because they accept Bitcoin payments.
But overall all 3 hosters are good and reliable in my experience.
- mreithub 10y agoI've had a quick look at your site because I'm currently using DO and Vultr with a PeerVPN[0] setup to connect the individual hosts - which brings me to my question: Is it just a static website or do these instances communicate with each other? If you do, I'd like to ask if you use a VPN to connect them (and which one)? I'm relatively happy with PeerVPN (with one or two rather minor annoyances that most likely can be solved if I actually spent time on them) but am always curious about alternatives.

- mrb 10y agoThe site is mostly static, expect the server-side Python code to handle the submission of blog comments. I use no VPN but have automated rsync runs, over SSH, to sync data files periodically.
