#2Wow! That's the specs of the cheapest DO droplet for 1/2 the price..

#3I don't have any experience with Vultr, nor do I know anyone who has. Honestly, I haven't heard of them before.
Anyone have experience with them? I'd love to hear about it.

I used to colocate with one of their sister companies and I've chatted with the CEO a few times on IRC. They were generally very reliable, although they didn't return my rail screws or cables oddly enough.

I run my blog on 3 distributed instances, one of them being at Vultr. (The 2 others are DO and Scaleway.)
In my experience, all 3 are very reliable: zero downtime since I started using them 8 months ago. Vultr has the nicest dashboard: it uses the noVNC HTML5 client to give you access to the console, it supports 2FA (TOTP) for authentication, etc. They give you $50 of free credit to use in the first 60 days (or did, when I signed up). Plus they accept Bitcoin payments!
Only minor complaint I have is when you create a vps they don't give you its SSH host key fingerprint. You have to log in the console to get it...

#7I was setting up a test vps there a couple of days ago and made plans to try out the $5 plan with $20 credit they were giving me on a $5 charge. So I had a runway of about 5 months but when I made payment, this $2.50 plan was right there, and it wasn't there before the payment. Now I have 10 month trial period. Never been happier.
The dashboard is nice, the ram is a bit low (but the price point is killer), I wasn't able to deploy a lets encrypt cert without pooled memory. The service seems to be excellenct in the few days I've used it. It doesn't seem to have a "don't ask for 2FA on this device for n months" option but it's a small complaint.

Sounds like a solid provider, I'll give them a try with my next small project. Especially for that price.

I've been running a lot of personal projects on Arch Linux on the $5 plan for over a year with 0 complaints.

#10Best thing about Vultr is that you can bring your own IP blocks and have their BGP servers announce them.
The bandwidth overage is also pretty okay. ($10/TB in NA/EU, $25/TB in AS, and $50/TB in AU.)
