@JaredBusch I am using them without issues... should I upgrade?

not likely.. but install takes a ton of process more than a basic running instance in most cases. So once running, you weill likely not see any issues unless the VM is already busy.

Didn't have any issues installing from an ISO or running anything on the server. But you're probably right they are likely oversubscribed.

That's very interesting. Did you contact support per chance?
And secondly, are the specs of the cheap box supposed to be able to run what you wanted? Not just looking at purely under-powered instance?
I mean, it IS under-powered, but by the books, does that instance meet the hardware requirements of what you wanted to load?

No, I have no reason to contact support for something I don't care about. It would take more time than simply spinning up an instance on a different host (I chose Tokyo for the hell of it) and getting done what was needed.

And what I am trying to run is not relevant when the install process would not complete.

That said, yes, it would run what I was trying to do just fine.

Here is a current htop from said server.

@JaredBusch Seems like a much more useful process viewer. Nice. What other packages do you use for server management? Thing's you'd use in any deployment

htop glances and sar (install sysstat)

So moral of the story; don't bother with a $2.50 VULTR instance.

I would not say that. But because of the sheer popularity of them, it may be not worth the time to setup.

I had no issue with mine.

Right the system was probably totally overloaded at the time.

I'm sure it bounces all over the place.
