They shut down my website on multiple occasions. We are a small business that requires our website to take bookings. They have shut it down and are not threating to destroy it in 48 hours. We have done absolutely nothing wrong or anything considering poor practives. DO NOT USE

Vultr is best suitable for cloud computing and VPS management systems. The best part of Vultr is providing the genius dashboards and monitoring the access controls. Even the performance management is so well from Vultr. The alerts and notifications based in our system is so good and acceptable for configuration managements.

I think it is well suited from global distributed business that are ready to rely on bare-metal hardware to achieve better cost efficiency. Good challenger of major cloud providers but still lack the availability zone model that can reduce their reliability if you need to expose a service achieving an important SLA

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.

We are a Web & App Development company and Vultr is a great fit for hosting the applications and websites that we build. The main reason I recommend them is because they are reliable and their service and pricing is competitive and predictable.

Anybody who have small to medium side organization or anyone new to server technology can make use this service. It's very effective, scales, elastic and robust. And definitely cheap.

Vultr is very well suited for development workloads and workloads that may require a diverse group of locations. For production workloads, if the region you're looking to invest in has availability, it will be great. We're running both our development and production workloads on Vultr currently. Unfortunately for us, we chose one of their least available locations as a home base which has made it very challenging to expand within the region.

Update to review:
Availability was an issue until the surprise announcement of the new Optimized Compute. It appears now that they were not restocking the hardware we were using as they intended to replace it.

Complete flexibly with lots of OS options. Running a full version of Server 2012, and all related apps and services are working as expected. Love the option for the core count, but hate the price I am paying for it. It is much easier to manage compared to AWS EC2 that I was running prior.

It's good if you're into hosting fast framework web and mobile applications based on my experience. And comfortably the best since it offers affordable plans for all server types aside from easy scalability on the instances.

I would definitely recommend Vultr Block Storage to anybody considering it because it's very reliable and scalable and it's the best choice for a lot of growing startups like ours. I would also recommend it to anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to AWS because in my opinion is the best switch they could make.

Vultr Block Storage is great for adding VM's to host websites. We have moved all our main websites to Vultr because of the speed, cost, and reliability they provide. If you need to have data in many data centers then you might be better moving to AWS or Azure

If you are a large organization where you have a lot of traffics in your web app, Vultr Bare Metal is good for you. If your scenario is something like, you sometimes have high traffic, and sometimes low traffic, Azure might not be the best choice if you want to cut your cost.
