@fuznutz04 They are the real deal. I use them. I think @scottalanmiller might too.

@BRRABill Thanks! I'm in the Lancaster area. You?
Yardley, PA (as far east PA as you can get!)
Though I work in Lawrenceville, NJ -
We have been very happy with Vultr. But we also use DO and are happy with them as well. But we have Linode, Rackspace and various others (HATE Azure) but other than that.
-
@johnhooks uses Vultr as well.

I was going to try to find someone from Vultr to come over here, but it seems they have no marketing people.....

I've had a similar experience with Azure. I like Microsoft's 365 offerings in regards to email, etc, but their Azure stuff for servers is not where it needs to be. The interface in confusing at first glance, and they seem to have more issues than I want to deal with.

Michele Horzepa is their Business Administration person so that would likely be a good place to start.

Thanks for the contact info. I'm spinning one up right now to start some testing!

I've been toying with the idea of a PBX on cloud myself using Digital Ocean. NerdVittles has a write up on FreePBX on that platform. http://nerdvittles.com/?p=17205

that's Scott's fault - anything he touches that is Microsoft based turns to ****, I think he has an anti MS gene

Oh I think you are right. Outside of the Azure thing, we have found lots of people with the same issues, Scott is the only one I know of that has such a hard time with everything.

I have to say, after playing with Vultr for a day....these guys are on point. Easy to use, ability to add a custom iso directly from a download link (i don't even have to download a large ISO and then re-upload it), and their lighting fast support responses have won me over so far. Their prices are pretty good too.

Glad to hear you are happy

@fuznutz04 Welcome to the community!

I've been reading up on Linode, Backspace, Vultr, and DO. Ideally, the ability to upload my own ISO (the FreePBX distro ISO) would be the easiest, but I am open to other options as well.
Almost no one allows ISO uploads, that's pretty rare and it pretty much rules out some of the best providers because they use Xen which is makes ISO uploads often impossible.
We use Rackspace and Digital Ocean for PBX handling and both have been good. We've been on RS for a very long time for that. But it is expensive these days.
Linode is likely awesome and this site is on Linode now (moved from RS.) Linode has the best performance of the bunch. Vultr is likely very good, and we like them, just have not had production PBXs there.

@aaronstuder I'm glad you mentioned Vultr. I was looking at them recently was was thinking "These guys have to be too good to be true."
We've used them for years (introduced to us by @aaronstuder ). We tend to use them primarily for large storage capacity systems like ownCloud, but they have been solid for a long time.

Out of those, Vultr is the only one that supports custom ISO's (I think)
That's what I have found.

Uh yeah, don't use Azure.

Yup, very hard to use, very poor performance and rather unreliable. Not a good combination.
