We host our customer's websites on Vultr, but Vultr is not our only provider. We use a series of VMs, Database Servers, Block Storage and other services that they have.
  • Reliable
  • Good Support
  • Predictive
  • Redis is not part of their service yet. But coming soon
  • Hoping for volume discounts
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.

  • Vultr helps my organization save lots of money compared to other providers
In its price range I would say Vultr is above the competition, while the "premium" providers are too expensive and don't bring significant improvement.

I have been using Vultr for almost 6 months, over the short time I have used them, I have found that even the most basic support is lacking. One of our WordPress sites had a false positive result from Netcraft as phishing. We immediately tested their finding and found that it was clean. Even Netcraft revised the report that the issue was resolved. What I did not know was that Vultr had sent me additional email saying that they were suspending my VPS with them. Apparently their level of support is to forward any issues along without checking. Now my server is suspended over a holiday weekend and no help from support.
  • Quick spinup of new servers
  • Nice dashboard of your running services
  • Fair price
  • Almost no active support, only tickets
  • Ticket processing is very slow and almost non-existant on weekend or holidays
Beware needing any assistance from Vultr over the weekend or holidays. Even for issues they created!
  • Uptime, uptime, uptime
  • Speed, speed
  • Good IP reputation

We use Vultr Block Storage with our virtual machine powered by Vultr and it allowed us to solve the storage issue because it connects with our existing computer instant[ly], and it's scalable so we can add more space as we grow which is awesome. We don't have to pay for resources that we don't need because we can scale only when it's necessary.
  • Scalability
  • Reliability
  • Super fast
  • The only suggestion I have is adding more data centers to choose from.
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.
  • The ability to increase the storage volume without modifying our cloud instance.
  • The extremely high performance we get from it.
  • We saved money because it's cheaper than competitors.
  • We're able to scale as we grow so we only pay for the resources needed.

We use Vultr Block Storage along with our VM's to host our company websites. The price is cheaper than any other provider and has been really reliable. Running VM's on top of Vultr has allowed us to host our websites with more control and given us the performance we can't get anywhere else.
  • Cheap
  • Fast
  • Reliable
  • Would be nice to have more data centers
  • Would be nice to have more speed options per data center
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
