About Vultr

We have not published our editorial assessment of Vultr yet. This page exists so players who have hosted with them can start leaving reviews straight away — the community scores below are real, and they build up before our own write-up does.

If you have hosted a server with Vultr, tell other players how it went.

What we still need to research

  • Data centre locations and the routes they give to European, North American and Oceanic players
  • Current entry pricing, and what the renewal price looks like after any introductory discount
  • CPU generation and clock speed on their game server nodes
  • Which control panel they use, and whether you get real file and console access
  • Backup policy: how many, how often, and whether restoring one costs money
  • Refund window and how it is applied in practice
  • Support response times on a weekday and at 3am on a Sunday

Memory limits are not honest

Advertised memory and usable memory are not the same number here, and I found that out the hard way when the server started getting killed nightly about three weeks in. Support eventually told me the overhead of the container counts toward the allocation, which is a reasonable thing to be true and an unreasonable thing to bury. I upgraded a tier and it has been stable since, so the fix worked, it just cost more than the page implied. Speed and support were both fine otherwise.

Handles a heavy pack without complaining

We run one of the bigger kitchen-sink packs with about twenty regulars, which is genuinely demanding, and it has held 20 TPS through evenings that used to kill our previous host. Updating the pack is the part I was dreading and it turned out fine — the panel kept the world intact and I did not have to rebuild the config from scratch. Only real note is that the first-time setup took some reading. Once it was running it has been steady.
