        Vultr is certainly who I would use. Far easier than AWS or Azure, too.

        Azure is pretty easy with a lot of options:

        https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/category/compute

        But cost wise, it looks like Vultr is cheaper.

          Where is the dislike button? That sucks. I understand it, but that really is unfortunate.

            Azure is pretty easy with a lot of options:

            The top option for an SMB is a console. Azure doesn't offer a console. Nothing else they offer makes it competitive with Vultr in an "ease of use" way. Nothing wrong with not offering a console, AWS does not either. It's the "cloud" way to do things. But SMBs have no use for clouds, they need VPS. Vultr is a VPS build on cloud, so a much better fit for the SMB audience.

              Vultr is certainly cheaper. We have 1 box running in Azure, and we've not had any issues/downtime in over a year. fingers crossed However, a lot of people on here have had bad experiences at some point.

              If I was to spin up a new Windows workload somewhere in the future, it probably would not be at Azure, due to cost.

                The "problem" with Azure is that instead of 100 people all having five minutes of outages, they have five people who have 100 minutes of outages. It's the same downtime average, but hits differently. It means that for people for whom it works, it often really works. But the risk of failure is really high - meaning that unlike an Amazon failure that is often quite small, the failure might be insanely large if you happen to get hit.

                It's a lot like a T1 vs. cable line. Cable lines typically drop a few minutes a year, T1s tend to go decades without a missed packet - then go down for a week at a single shot.

                  Yeah if you need a VPS that is definitely the way to go. Different use model.

                      Vultr having a datacenter in NJ is another reason I use it 😄

                        I never heard of NJ until I heard of Vultr.

                                That makes sense. We provide their water you guys clean it up.
