Vultr rebranding and NVMe Servers

HxxxHxxx Member

Went to deploy some goodies on Vultr and noticed their new branding and products (NVMe). Looking hot. Finally they have a design that looks superior to DO.

Thoughts on their design? Looking cutting edge and more enterprise IMO.

    You are referring to that controversial DO case?

    Yes. I was impressed. I want that "twitter special" for all my production services

    For me it was a cluster fuck. But at least somebody didnt lose their whole business.

    They definitely have a better 'V' logo now. The SVG animations also look slick. But, overall, I liked the previous site design better.

    They also redesigned the control panels.

    That's good. A complete design overhaul. It's already growing on me.

    Not really a complete design overhaul, it just looks like a re-skin.

    The buttons and text are still in the same relative positions.

    They should work on other stuff like having servers in stock at every location.

    Not bad, but their pricing is still a bit too high IMO.

    New nodes are probably less crowded though.

    Not sure they have it. I agree with you that this makes DO look superior: APIs are for weak, and a good unsuspended server should be suspended again at next use!

    The new design is nice but there are still a fair few areas DO wins. A couple Vultr wins too, but alot fewer.

    Pick the right tool for the job based on features, not some swish UI.

    Vultr is not bad but NVMe in one location... Block Storage still only in one location, etc..

  • No swap though

    thanks. now i have swap on vultr NVMe.

  • LeviLevi Member

    Vultr client area was always superior to do. Only hetzner is better than vultr in terms of ux.

  • How much do those 3.8GHz vps cost? :o

  • Starts from $6 quite good

    Should be deployed in most locations this summer.

    They're only slightly more expensive then their regular vpses and they come with a little more disk space and the disks are NVMe.

    nice couldn't resist so did Vultr High Frequency VPS benchmarks in a 13-way KVM VPS provider benchmark comparison for Upcloud vs DigitalOcean vs Linode vs Vultr vs Hetzner https://community.centminmod.com/threads/17742/. Enjoy :)
