- mattbillenstein 4y agoI like them, they're my solidly "other cloud" option - running my personal VPS's, dev workloads at some companies, prod at others, etc.
- apocalyptic0n3 4y agoTheir support has always been best in class. Extremely responsive and always helpful. It's one of the reasons we decided to stick with them after the security incidents. The support was good enough to outweigh those concerns.
- mattbillenstein 4y agoAgreed, I've had issues with Digital Ocean...
- mekster 4y agoUsed Linode for years on several instances without a problem, very good support and reliable but trying to move out for a very small problem that their server backups can't handle any non default filesystems, as in, if I use zfs, their instance backup won't take backup of those because they do backup on a filesystem level and not on block device level and a fact that Vultr supports HDD block storage which seems to be a unique option among others to lower the cost of local disk access significantly.
