Last time I checked Vultr included a DDoS service [1] an DO did not. Caveat: I don't really know much about this service, maybe someone here can chime in? * I don't know how reliable it is * I don't know if a small/medium app really needs it * I don't know if you would be better off using something like cloudflare anyway * Etc... What I do know is that a long time ago I used to host some stuff on a VPS (Linode I think) and I would routinely run out of bandwidth because of traffic coming most of the time from random AWS IPs, which seemed like shady bot networks or something. Ergo having a DDoS service like this seems useful even if you are hosting a small site. 1: https://www.vultr.com/products/ddos-protection/ https://www.vultr.com/products/ddos-protection/
