Vultr Welcomes Singapore!
Vultr now has 2 locations in Asia - Tokyo and Singapore
We are excited to announce our 15th location - Singapore! You can now provision and manage high performance cloud servers from the heart of this island nation, strategically positioned for low latency in the APAC region.
This new location includes all the great features you've come to expect from the standardized Vultr platform - rapid deployment, high performance Intel CPUs, 100% Enterprise SSD storage, and hourly billing!

It's not low latency for my case, I'm getting 70+ms from Singapore to... Singapore, but speed wise I'm able to get 200mbps over the 1gbps line.
@eLohkCalb said:
70+ms for local? Seems unreasonable. In HK I'm getting around 30ms which suggests the route you're taking is going via Japan and then coming back. Did you do a tracert? 70ms for local is insane! For local, anything more than 10 is poor.
@randvegeta, route optimization takes time I guess.
This is what I got for the time being, and yes usually for the others (DigitalOcean, Leaseweb, OneAsiaHost, etc.) it's around 4-6ms.
Yes, latency is strange. Usually it is 60-65ms to Singapore from here.
I'd fire off an email/support ticket. Since it's a new location routes might not be optimized yet.
Looks like it is basically mixed of NTT and GTT.
Not interested for me.
Just fired up a test instance to check network speed / connectivity. Happy to report that it doesn't disappoint (Atleast in APAC / US West).
Finally, something I can use my vultr credit hoard for.
Do they still have the double first payment promotion?
