---------------------------------------
Other Links-
1) HOW TO BUILD A VPS ON VULTR
2) 90 Day review of VULTR (Its old, all locations are now available, snapshots are also available)
Other things-
1) They are using KVM vitrualization which is great cause very less chance to oversell.
2) They Dont have DNS like Digital ocean. You can simply edit the A records in Godaddy or other provider's own dns. Or install Vesta Panel which has dns by default.
3) They have a snapshot feature too now. Its in beta but already working flawlessly.
4) Guides I used to get a server running -
Initial Review-
I put in 50$ and my balance is now 100$
Will put in another 50$ in a few days. hey have 12 locations to choose from. Paris had the lowest ping for me. Everything was a breeze, just use the guide carefully. If using ubuntu 14 install CURL from root account itself or SUDO later.
Installed everything through the guides above. Its smooth till now. Pointed a domain from Godaddy's DNS, took a minute but the site is rolling now! Will have to see how it performs with Wordpress and everything later.
Vesta Panel - It seems okay. Much more user friendly than Cpanel. Just couldnt see anything from my user ftp that i used to install vesta. I think i mistakenly used the root account. So I simply edited the domain in Vesta's dashboard and added an ftp account for the doman and what do you know, its working and i could upload the file through filezilla.
Uses-
1) Production server (Always backup using dropbox and symlink important directories in dropbox directory and have a script that does an sql dump and again saves it to dropbox folder) Epic solution, little cost. There is also an option to use Copy.com incase you run out of space or you want to split the files or redundancy.
2) VPN
3) Almost anything other than illegal. Its KVM!
Best luck!
