Support is good, price is good, so it's been a positive experience. Pros It's easy and quick to stand up infrastructure at a very reasonable cost. The interface for the admini portal is intuitive and support is very quick to respond to inquiries. Cons It is somewhat limited in services offered if you compare with the bigger cloud providers such as MS or AWS. It's more geared toward standing up VMs, cloud servers, vs. cloud elasticity and cloud application architecture.

It would be nice to receive some credits from your side; after all, we've been using Vultr for several years but have never received any credits. Pros There are many server locations available, but I really miss having an option like Switzerland—it would be fantastic. For this reason, we're forced to use other service providers. Cons Maintenance on the servers causes issues for me because my services go down. I would consider dedicated servers, but the costs are too high. Reasons for choosing Vultr Practical, fast, and easy to implement. Dedicated servers are too expensive, but they are reliable and of good quality.
