I had spent thousands of dollars on their services running my servers for years.
Needless to say I immediately dumped them, moved to Hetzner and 1 week later I had my own mail server running(still do).
"Cloud AI Startup Vultr" We really have let this go too far when a mid tier VPS provider is now a "cloud AI startup".
Wait until you find out that MinIO, the S3 compatible storage company, is apparently an AI company through and through now. https://min.io/ > the AI revolution is powered by technologies that are either built on MinIO or integrated with it.
I was a happy Vultr customer until the day I tried to get port 25 unblocked. Instead of getting it unblocked I received a ”sorry not sorry” copy paste from some senior sales guy.

I use Vultr for a BGP anycast CDN (they let you bring your own ips) and they're overall excellent. They also have budget GPU VPSes that are perfect for webgl screenshotting via chrome headless. Their sales rep gave me a 10% discount and we're not even slightly in their high volume category. Extremely underrated VPS provider IMO, I've had better results with them than DO. I hope this development does not change things…
AMD EPYC™ 9454P 48 Core / 96 Threads, + 128 GB DDR5 ECC + 3.84 TB NVMe SSD for $221 and a $88 one time set up fee on Hetzner. Even if they could do it at $100 more expensive at $321 would still have been good enough.
But their Cloud / VPS offering are still very good. Now that Linode is nearly gone. DO is mostly Intel based. Vultr is mostly AMD. The other one that is close if not better is UpCloud.

I tested them out maybe like 7-9 years ago and that's the reason I didn't continue. 25 blocked by default. Just left a bad taste in my mouth. I mean sure they are trying to discourage spammers but just outright blocked by default seemed a bit overboard to me
My experience with Vultr has been better than with any of the other smaller VM providers. They always seem to provide just a little extra, and don't always nickle and dime you at every opportunity. I originally chose them because they most consistently had the best VM performance/price measured by a third party. The other thing that stands out in that space is that their pricing isn't linear by vCPU and RAM. e.g. lar…
I am considering them, but reviews on Trustpilot are less than favorable. I'm not sure whether or not to trust the site. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/vultr.com
Perhaps they act quickly on DMCA reports, so if you're in a gray area don't use them?
I was just curious what kind of promotions they have and saw this one for $300 in credits and $100 free trial[0].

Maybe they did a risk analysis. Maybe they don't have the bandwidth to create a vetting process. Either way, be transparent.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Upon further digging there is a parent LLC[1] which I presume is the one predating the Vultr entity. [1]ClanServers Hosting LLC
They where using the brand Choopa before vultr which was a thing since at least 2001. [0] EDIT: News about their brand consolidation [1] [0]: https://web.archive.org/web/20010405033628/http://choopa.com... [1]: https://www.constant.com/transition-to-vultr/

mostly works, there's maybe a "restart" once a year due to hardware problems
all handled transparently without you intervention
support is responsive enough
for personal use works perfect
