historically, I've used Vultr, but I don't see anyone talking about it—I'm curious if anyone else has thoughts on them? (I've been happy, but then again my usage has been exceedingly basic)

I've used Vultr for several years (hobby projects) with no issues. My favorite feature is having a BGP session from my VM, which is unusual among cloud providers. I have an AS and am able to advertise my own IPs from multiple Vultr instances (anycast).

How do you get an AS?

Have used both DO and Vultr for years. Put simply, DO is better, but Vultr isn’t terrible.

Higher number of outages at Vultr over 5 years, but none longer than a few hours. I can’t remember the last DO outage lasting more than a few minutes.

Experienced a Vultr routing problem that lasted several hours; they communicated about it, but it was still a long time to fix.

DO once did an auto-migration of a server to another cluster with an attendant outage that lasted a few minutes at most. No IP changes, completely transparent.
