My experience with Vultr has been better than with any of the other smaller VM providers. They always seem to provide just a little extra, and don't always nickle and dime you at every opportunity. I originally chose them because they most consistently had the best VM performance/price measured by a third party.
The other thing that stands out in that space is that their pricing isn't linear by vCPU and RAM. e.g. larger instances give better ratios and also offer bare-metal servers if you got to a scale and stability where that would be better suited.
- b-lee 2y agoI am considering them, but reviews on Trustpilot are less than favorable. I'm not sure whether or not to trust the site. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/vultr.com https://www.trustpilot.com/review/vultr.com
- zie 2y agoI've been happy enough over the last 5+ years, but I'm not a huge user and I've only ever interacted with their support once many years ago, and it was fine. No complaints.
- karmakaze 2y agoRead the ratings/comments on the first page and it looks like one-off case complaints, though I have nothing to back that up than my experience. I've been using them 6+ years and their systems have just worked as advertised and never needed to contact their support. I've had overdue bills which I've paid maybe a month later and it was never a problem--never got any threats to suspend service or anything. Perhaps they act quickly on DMCA reports, so if you're in a gray area don't use them? I was just curious what kind of promotions they have and saw this one for $300 in credits and $100 free trial[0].

- m1n7 2y agothe links on the site are all just the same ref-link, is this spam?
- karmakaze 2y agoMaybe it was, sorry about that. It was just a top search result and said Dec 2024 in the content. The links are to https://www.vultr.com/?ref=9632479-9J https://www.vultr.com/?ref=9632479-9J so might have been a sneaky referral link that went to the main page that at some time had the promotion. It appears gone now.
- PaywallBuster 2y agoi've run 5$ vps for years with them mostly works, there's maybe a "restart" once a year due to hardware problems all handled transparently without you intervention support is responsive enough for personal use works perfect --- from a business account with many servers expecting higher reliability sometimes they don't correspond and have too many maintenance windows with _guaranteed_ downtiem
- TheFreim 2y agoI've been using Vultr for many years without issue. Currently I have a $5 VPS that has been running for nearly two years straight without any downtime.
- njt 2y agoI've been running VPSs with them for the last 9 years. Never had a problem. And unlike Digital Ocean, they allow you to mount your own ISOs and fully support the BSDs. Unless someone buys them out in the future and platform decay[1] happens, you can trust them. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification
- hgs3 2y agoI've been using Vultr for the past 6-ish months and I've been happy with them. They have great prices for what you get. Sadly, I feel that review sites often skew negative because I think people are more motivated to find time to share a negative experience than a positive one.
- sorenbs 2y agoI am somehow uniquely well positioned to answer this question. I worked at Trustpilot for 7 years, and am now a relatively large Vultr customer. Vultr is great!
