Podman.io vs. Vultr

While it always depends on your use case, I believe security concerns of need for root user is a concern, so it is worth considering daemonless container service over Docker, which works just as good and has support for docker compose. Another good reason is the licensing for enterprise usage, which podman has no restrictions for. It’s also a great choice for OpenShift integration, which is seamless and works well with Rancher as well.

I've been with Vultr over 5 years hosting multiple businesses and email related services. I never experienced a significant outage or data loss. Migration has always been successful as well. Support is top tier and IP reputation is clean. I like the choices of OS, ease of platform use and multiple hosting/ region options.

• It’s daemonless, so somewhat more secure.
• It works exceptionally well and is compatible with Docker compose
• Podman Desktop actually makes individual usage also pretty easy.
• It can be used as Docker alternative with almost no additional steps

• Good performance from servers close to me and my customers
• Ease of spinning up new servers
• Great service levels of servers I spin up
• Notifications of issues or downtime come through quickly, allowing me to handle client queries with knowledge in hand.

• Podman desktop is getting more stable with each version, but does need more UX friendliness as well.
• Official support for development tools and IDEs is missing for most tools
• It works well with Kubernetes, but I wouldn’t mind additional improvements

Incentivized

• The response times for support tickets is too high and a quicker response time would be appreciated
• Availability of the VPS solution in Middle east and Africa would help
• Abilito to connect SIP trunks would make it more easy to run active communictaion platforms on Vultr

We’ve been extremely satisfied with the service for many years. After trying other providers, we’ve found nothing that matches the reliability and performance—so we’re not likely to switch anytime soon.

easy to use and configure. great bang for the buck. I need an affordable solution to host in the cloud data from systems installed at our client's site with the ability to drill down and change the configuration remotely. Vultr enabled us to do that in an efficient and affordable way.

Because of the 24 hour turnaround timing with servers I need immediate reply

Nothing in particular to share that I did not already discuss

Podman is Daemonless, lightweight and doesn’t charge us for commercial usage, so it’s a relief for startups. Minikube and Rancher are a bit more complex for our use cases; so we keep things simple, fast and secure with Podman that can easily be managed with Podman Desktop and other works with our docker-compose based projects without issues.

Linode is a more old-school offering. Linode pricing model and infrastructure rely on classic Virtual Machines. What we like about Vultr is that they offer the same at the front, but in the back, the machines are much more flexible and can be tailor-made to our needs, which of course also impacts the costs of running the infrastructure.

Pricing is fair and did not increase
