User Testimonials
	UpCloud	Vultr
Likelihood to Recommend	UpCloud If you're looking for a cost-effective solution then this is a good choice, be sure to keep on top of your balance! The 100% uptime is also a nice addition, although not unique in a cloud hosting service. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Vultr Vultr is best suited to deploy classic web applications, web services, and websites. It's well suited for mid-level traffic but has a wonderful option of expanding the disk storage, making it very well suited to run applications and services that need to consume a lot of data but don't need a lot of computing power. It may not be well suited to run applications that rely on a vast number of web services and require a vast number of data centers. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	UpCloud Pricing Ease of use - super easy to manage existing servers and deploy new ones Great customer service Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Vultr Cloud Computing SSD VPS computing Access controlling Dashboard monitoring Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	UpCloud The billing reports are quite hard to read, could be simplified A control panel function would be useful The re-billing process could be better, not so cut throat if you miss a payment!

Alternatives Considered	UpCloud We trialed UpCloud to see if it would be better than DigitalOcean but for our needs, it was not. On DigitalOcean once a droplet is created, almost no thought needs to go into maintenance, outages, or other reliability-based issues. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Vultr Vultr started out primarily as a VM-only provider, but has since expanded offerings and locations to be a serious alternative for a lot of businesses currently using a large, expensive cloud provider. Vultr may not be for everyone or every workload, but there are many businesses and individuals that are adding way too much complexity and cost to their projects by using large cloud platforms they do not really need. Update to review: Vultr's new Optimized Compute offerings are a game changer. They are designed to accommodate a more diverse or resource-intensive workload Mason Curry CEO Read full review
Return on Investment	UpCloud The low cost means you don't really need to worry about pricing To us as a business it was not as useful as DigitalOcean Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Vultr My Business achieved more Returns on Investment since the servers are more affordable and highly available than what I've used before.
