Vultr saving us time and money and allowing us to provide value to our customers customers.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
As a web agency, I need great hardware to support my customer's web sites. We use Wordpress, leveraging GridPane, and Vultr has been the standard go to for our VPS needs. Our clients range from small to large, and we need to have the ability to scale our servers accordingly. Vultr makes this a dream to work with.
Since I also need to monitor all my servers, I can house a prometheus server in Vultr as well, keeping my entire system within one eco system.

Pros
- Good performance from servers close to me and my customers
- Ease of spinning up new servers
- Great service levels of servers I spin up
- Notifications of issues or downtime come through quickly, allowing me to handle client queries with knowledge in hand.
Cons
- There have been times where my VPS is affected by a noisy nieghbour. Would be good to have this actively monitored and mitigated.
- Being based in South Africa, it would be nice to have pricing parity options for weaker countries (even if for lower level servers). Sometimes I need throw away or temporary servers, but USD 5 is still expensive in weaker currencies, and can stack up quickly.
Return on Investment
- Moving from Cloudways to Vultr (with GridPane) has saved us over $100 per month.
- Placing servers near customer's clients is invaluable. Customers notice.
- Wordpress performance on Vultr servers is great. We've had reduced TTFB from Cloudways in the region of 60-80%.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
A number of my companies have bare metal machines with Vultr. It's one of the best companies I have seen that support this for a reasonable price, which allows us to offer a great service at a reasonable price to our customers and clients.
Its likely we'll move additional services there as they have since released a number of services that will help us in our core goals.
