Nope, OpenVZ.
I just got a ticket reply after 51 seconds. O.O
They even offer BGP sessions: https://www.vultr.com/features/bgp/
For free! (That's what that ticket was about.)
No announcements from their AS, though, so you do need your own AS.
Crazy news, everything is perfectly fine!
I think we need to thank Linode since they are the first to double RAM last year and released $5/1G instance recently.
Who's next? DO?
Yep and what Ishaq said
@AnthonySmith
That's a pretty smart idea, and it's awesome how open you are about that.
Now that vultr prices are cut, you can probably start earning a profit now :-)
Well there were really no other options at the time and I have not found any since, I really wanted the location, I was up front about it from day 1 on the LES forum.
Personally the better buy is the $5 package. I would spend the $2.50 extra for the gig of ram. I don't see DO doing this rather soon.
One thing I don't like about Vultr is transparency. I had to spin 3 vms up before figuring out they were limited to 2 per customer. They aren't transparent on the type of RAID they use and CPU. All you see
model name : Virtual CPU a7769a6388d5. Is your processors that old that you have hide your processors to compete with Linode & DO. They won't answer any questions on their forums on any of this.I tried aruba, its like the worst $1 I ever spent.
Would rather pay more for Linode/DO. Anytime.
Wow, this is pretty appealing. Might have to mess around with Vultr some more soon.
That's really nice. With the ability to setup a private network it allows to do interesting things at an OK price.
Vultr wasn't competitive compared to LEHosts; they now can be interesting for some setup.
They should be more clear regarding their SSD/RAID setup in my opinion though...
There a market rules starts.
Hah.. They just fine, looks like affiliate
Linode highly over advertised
yep, same here.
Unable to place order: You have reached the maximum number of active instances (2) with our sandbox plan. Please choose a different plan.
Right, but if their networking takes two days to reply "we generally don't offer support for ..." I'd rather pay for support.
what were the issues?
Also they cut BW to 500Gb only.. Reduces with cuts nice practice..

Simply create an account at Vultr. When you fund your account we will match dollar for dollar up to $100 of your Initial Funding
@chinmoy asked me the promotion about vultr.
Unfortunately, I am not a new user. But good things should be shared. Have a nice day.
I used your link. I hope you get the referral funds.
At $2.5 there's no excuse for me not to try Vultr now. I just wish one of the providers would add a ZA location!
Signed up under you, but made a second account without using the first. Hopefully they'll grant me the $20 credit..
Kvadratish praktische gut
No, you get the same bandwidth for $5 you did before.
OK, so we heard from you that
Vultr is the worst provider ever because they don't have the same number of locations as $GENERIC_CRAPPY_HOST
they've introduced a smaller plan with smaller bandwidth and that makes you angry
Do you have any other poorly-reasoned complaints about Vultr? Be nice to get them all out of the way at once.
And here I'm sitting on 120$ and don't know what to do with them...
I used an affiliate, got $20 - then I asked if I could fund match and they removed my $20 free credit...?!?
Guessing its either or and not both at once.
I know all LET moderators related to Viltr or DO business, so just in case.
I have vultr affiliate link as http://www.vultr.com/?ref=7121088-3B and with this link you will get $20 and I will get $30 if you do initial payment of $10. So in $10 you will get $30 which can be used for 12 months of $2.5 VPS of 512MB RAM
I don't think that was ever confirmed. Vultr simply refuses to discuss hardware in public. Raid0 is speculation.
Where are the complaints of epic data loss with Vultr? I know there was some loss/failure years back, but anything more recent?
Not that I know of; that would make it look like they aren't using RAID 0. No way to know without them sayin though...
Imagine the future where being low ends would not be as special snowflakes as they are now
Yeah, what I expected. Gets called out for posting bullshit and immediately drops to an ad hominem. Lame.
Yes @jarland works for Digital Ocean. No other moderator works for Vultr or DO. At least one competes with them.
Post your evidence that "all LET moderators related to Vultr or DO business". Otherwise...
I fucking hate Vultr. And the best thing at DO is @jarland.
