"Fraudulent behavior: Account verified, $100 taken, then banned within 24 hours."

0/5

What do you like best about Vultr?

The user interface is clean, and the initial server deployment process is fast. They offer a wide range of locations and instance types, which makes it look like a professional and developer-friendly service at first glance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vultr?

Their automated security system is predatory. I registered a legitimate account for my business (first-time user, no multi-accounting), provided all requested ID documents, and was officially verified. However, immediately after I deposited $100 and installed Dokploy, they banned my account without any explanation.

What is most unacceptable is that they are refusing to refund my unused deposit for services they never provided. Their support, including "Ruby J.", only sends canned, automated responses and ignores the fact that they are essentially seizing my company's funds. It feels like a "bait-and-switch" scheme: verify the user, take their money, and then terminate the service within 24 hours without a refund. This is an unprofessional and untrustworthy way to treat business customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vultr solving and how is that benefiting you?

I chose Vultr to solve the challenge of deploying and managing a scalable backend for a new business project. My goal was to use their high-performance VPS instances to run Dokploy, allowing for efficient container orchestration and rapid deployment of our microservices. The platform’s global data center locations and competitive price-to-performance ratio were supposed to help us maintain low latency for our users while keeping infrastructure costs manageable during the MVP stage. Unfortunately, instead of solving these technical problems, Vultr created a major business hurdle by seizing my $100 deposit and terminating the account immediately after a successful document verification, leaving our deployment plans in limbo.

"Misleading Tokyo latency - 0.14ms advertised, 2.7ms delivered"

1/5

What do you like best about Vultr?

Fast API for server provisioning - bare metal deploys in ~5 minutes.

Good documentation and responsive support team. Competitive pricing

for bare metal servers ($185/mo for Intel E-2286G). Clean control

panel and straightforward billing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vultr?

Misleading latency testing for Tokyo region. Support tested from

their TY6 datacenter showing 0.14ms to AWS - but customers cannot

access TY6. After 4 bare metal deployments, all landed in TY11

with 2.7-4ms latency (20x worse).

Key issues:

- No way to select specific datacenter location

- No plans to expand TY6 capacity

- No notification system for preferred locations

- Support tests from infrastructure unavailable to customers

For latency-sensitive applications in Tokyo, this is a dealbreaker.

Wasted significant time and money discovering all servers route

through external ISPs instead of direct AWS peering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vultr solving and how is that benefiting you?

Vultr aims to solve fast bare metal and cloud deployment globally

with API-first approach. The provisioning speed is genuinely good -

servers ready in minutes, not hours.

However, for my use case (low-latency trading infrastructure in Tokyo),

Vultr did NOT solve the problem. I needed sub-millisecond latency to

AWS Tokyo. Support demonstrated 0.14ms from their TY6 facility, but

all my deployments landed in TY11 with 2.7-4ms latency.

Benefit realized: None. Ended up staying with AWS EC2 which provides

1.2-1.7ms - better than what Vultr could deliver despite costing less.

Vultr may work well for general hosting, but for latency-critical

applications in Tokyo, the inability to select datacenter location

makes it unsuitable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Transparent Pricing and Effortless Server Management"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Vultr?

What I appreciate about Vultr is that, as a user, I have robust access to my servers. The pricing is transparent, and the platform is straightforward and user-friendly, featuring a well-designed interface that makes the experience enjoyable. Additionally, installing and setting up services is very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vultr?

There are a few challenges when you encounter an issue, and it can be a bit frustrating since support is ticket-based and there is no option for instant call assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vultr solving and how is that benefiting you?

Vultr addresses the challenges of complex and costly cloud infrastructure. Many cloud platforms offer powerful features, but they are often difficult to navigate, require significant time to manage, and can lead to unpredictable expenses.

Vultr makes things easier by providing simple, affordable cloud servers that are quick to deploy and straightforward to manage.

Personally, this allows me to launch servers rapidly, maintain predictable costs, and dedicate more time to developing and operating my applications rather than wrestling with complicated cloud setups.

I appreciate having complete control over performance and security without the burden of enterprise-level complexity, which ultimately saves me both time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and Cost-Effective Hosting Solution"

4/5

What do you like best about Vultr?

I like Vultr because of the affordability. I can spin up really small servers that could cost as low as $5 a month or even $2.5 for tiny servers. This is great when I have a bit of work or testing to do for software. I can test it and then destroy the server after that. They also have a variety of images like Ubuntu, LAMP stack, or OpenVPN, which are ready to go. I just select it at the time of creating the server, click create, enter some SSH keys, and it’s good to go. The server is ready with the selected image in no time and it’s fantastic. Vultr gives pre-installed software if you choose, which saves a lot of time compared to a clean install from other providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vultr?

I think one aspect that I don't like about Vultr is that after spinning up the server, the initial wait time is a bit longer, I feel. But that's understandable considering there is so much that goes into building a new server.! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not For Hackathons"

1/5

What do you like best about Vultr?

It's cheap. It's terraform registry docs are pretty good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vultr?

It's 100% NOT Hackathon friendly. We got flagged for credit verification. Typically no biggie. It suspends numerous functions, to the point of not being able to configure your API key(s) or even look at the Load Balancer UI. The bad part is that you CANNOT get this resolved in a weekend, since support works normal operating hours which is not compatible with weekend 36-hour hackathons. Using VULTR was an MLH funded track and yet I did not see them fit for Hackathons

It's also missing KMS/KeyVault Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hundreds of Servers Experience"

5/5

What do you like best about Vultr?

I don't need to talk to support. They self-serve and easy to understand and deploy infrastructure is amazing. The few times I do needed to talk to someone, they went above and beyond to help me solve what was not really in their scope. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vultr?

The server monitoring lacks information, so I usually solve that by installing a third party monitoring app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vultr solving and how is that benefiting you?

I first started using Vultr to solve safety, reliance and speed issues with my clients. To host WordPress and Mautic servers its like a dream.

But nowadays I have VPNs (in different countries) , virtual servers (think Linkedin outreach) and different servers for different purposes. I actually remember a few years ago spinning up a server to play Minecraft with my brother for a day. I love how easy they make to create servers. The VPN, for example, its a few clicks away and you also receive instructions on how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Have been vultr to host our side projects. Most affordable right now"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Vultr?

We have been using Vultr to host multiple side projects inclusing some docker container. And here 3.5$ instances comes handy and best suited for mini deployments. Also the prepaid payment option is very handy, allows you to topup the account with PayPal or credit card and use those in creating instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vultr?

Nothing to dislike as such, however the UI and interface of the Vultr dashboard can be improved. UI feels bit laggy and outdated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vultr solving and how is that benefiting you?

Vultr has really made simple for us to host multiple side projects including some small docker container on Linux machines like Alpine and easily configure them as per needs. And 3.5$ instances comes very handy for such mini deployments. Also the prepaid payment option is very handy, allows you to topup the account with PayPal or credit card and use those in creating instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
