    files are highly compressible and served over https, but
    curl -I -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate' https://fra-de-ping.vultr.com/vultr.com.100MB.bin
    does not reveal any stupid trick. So why not serving a real random binary file over plain http?

    That's an awesome. I've just upgraded my plan without paying more money. Just only $10/month and I receive 2GB RAM, 40GB SSD. Greate :D

    ..because an inactive account that was never used is totally gaming the system when you decide to try a provider since they're offering free credit and a NEW plan which might actually fit your needs..

    They're offering for new customers, if you've been a customer before you're not new.

    Never was. Made a login. Anyhow, the point is moot, because if I decide I need it, I'll happily pay the $2.50- but I wouldn't have minded being able to test it first. I just find it interesting how many people squawk at a $0.05/GB storage increase but come to pick the bones of others when the opportunity arises.

    Maybe because plain http is evil as some browsers decided to call it.

  • First please forgive me bad English level.
    I want to register one, thank you all

    Well, make an account at Vultr and then start a server. If you click one of the affiliate links from this thread then you will get some Vultr credit to start with, and the person giving the link will also get some credit. I'm tempted to post my own link here but will resist ;).

    Hmm not sure why? I don't think I have to do anything special to my referral to make it give you $20 do I?

    Also I found this https://my.vultr.com/promo/

    500Gb per month really enough??

    Nice advertising, but don't forget about need to add credit card for free credit. So if not have credit card, nothing to apply.

    The question is also which (if any) of those coupons are still valid. If you click on "Newest Vultr Coupon" or on "View Latest Vultr Coupon", both lead to a page that says "The Free Trial Special is Over".

    Yes, these offers already expired most time, all posts outdated, folks who advertise even not check if it still valid.

    Also credit card meant full information about you and unwanted charges any time even to negative so think twice before add your credit card into someone else hands. Information may be hacked and compromised every time.

    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.

    Now he's bitching about having to add a credit card and suggesting that doing so might cause your data to be compromised by hacking.

    Personally, I don't like "credit" coupons: they're just a form of vendor lock-in. I like a real coupon for a recurring or one-time discount, but credit coupons don't interest me.

    jenkki, you're right that many people don't even know whether the credits they advertize are still valid ...

    Again, I have nothing against Vultr or other hosting providers, so don't extend your crappy speech. Just some opinions.

    That only some kind of mass madness, join, gave arse into hands then create ref link and trade to others. :)

    I used a coupon from there for $20 credit and it worked, though the credit is only good for 30 days. Pretty annoying. I had the black friday credit from 2015 but it eventually expired after a full year. I'm not too worried about the credit card as I have several other hosts already billing it.

    Annoying indeed. In fact, pretty useless unless one goes for a big plan.

    Just to clarify, I can certainly understand the immediate attraction of "free credit" (after all, I also am a (mild) VPS addict :-) ), but upon reflection, I don't wish to sign up because of free credit. I may still get the cheap Vultr plan (I'm not yet a Vultr customer), but if I do, I'll ignore any possibility of free credit.

    That amount of credit for that time almost nothing, money still theirs. Same situation if they provide $1000 credit for 1-2 days for example, it willbe also useless. The coach will quick turn back into a pumpkin

  • Well I'll probably spin up their big VPS to time some long compiles. I just haven't gotten around to this yet.

    But why would you complain about the traffic of a new plan that is half the price. They didn't "cut" the bandwidth at all, they simply gave you a new plan with half the bandwidth for half the price.
