If it weren't posted on HN and I found it on the web in general, I'd probably pass over it. Unlike DigitalOcean, their website doesn't indicate what virtualization they're using. On the lowendtalk link that amjd provided, they mention that it's KVM, but there are so many providers offering cheap VPSs that are oversold using OpenVZ or something. Similarly, lowendtalk mentions that they're using SSDs, but there's nary a mention of that on their website. It feels like Vultr bought a ready-made template for a cloud host and put in their logo. DigitalOcean's online presence earns a lot of trust. Their website makes clear what they're offering, the mentions of developers and popular open-source technologies makes them seem like they know the score, and their ever-expanding library of how-to guides shows a certain involvement and investment. Vultr might be a great service, but their website makes it seem like the loads of cheap, oversold VPS solutions out there who have just bought some dedicated servers and are renting them out. If they want to combat that perception, they should be offering information. Their website is buzz-word ready with "powerful infrastructure" and "high speed performance", but that isn't going to win over developers. That's like a new database product saying that it "automatically scales". If you're going to make the claim, you need to explain how.
