As you mentioned I would stay away from them for things like domain hosting. Just use them for cheap compute, etc.
- rapind 2y agoWould you recommend vultr for dedicated metal? I’m lazily shopping around for a decent dedicated metal setup, but I need something reasonably reliable.

- mst 2y agoI keep my whois and NS entries elsewhere and my nameservers sufficiently distributed that I find the risk acceptable, but both hetzner and ovh are firmly in the "I have always felt I got a very cost effective 'exactly what I paid for' - and in the case of my rare interactions with their support more than I'd hoped for" category for me. Neither has ever caused me a problem that didn't feel like "potentially having this level of problem occasionally is entirely in keeping with how little I'm paying" basically.
