Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 76 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers frequently complained about unexpected account suspensions, sudden payment blocks, and unhelpful support teams that rarely provide meaningful assistance when urgent problems arise. Many people also experienced deeply frustrating difficulties accessing the platform due to endless website loops and strict identity verification demands. Some reviewers were happy with the actual server performance, finding the hosting reliable and fast for their daily projects. Conversely, a small portion of people felt that the core infrastructure worked exceptionally well, noting that billing processes and server response times remained completely satisfactory throughout their usage.

Hosted a simple python script to scan for market data and run simple backtest. However, account was immediately flagged as violation without further explanation despite similar use cases by other people. Tried talking to their customer service yet receive no actionable ways to proceed. Nightware experience

It’s unacceptable that a company like Vultr forces users to prepay and then leaves them stranded with poor support. You paid in good faith for GPU access, only to be met with radio silence from their support team, which is not only unprofessional but downright negligent. Waiting a week just to be told they can’t even enable the GPU usage on your account is absurd.

Their failure to address the issue in a timely manner shows a complete disregard for your time and resources. Why should customers be expected to shell out money upfront when they can’t even deliver the service? The fact that they left you hanging for a week, offering no solutions or communication, speaks volumes about their lack of competence and customer care.

It’s frustrating and a blatant red flag when a supposedly professional service provider wastes users' time with inadequate processes and support. Vultr needs to seriously reconsider how they handle their customers.

VULTR is a total scam

VULTR is a total scam! They advertise 4TB of bandwidth for every $30 server, so I created 4-5 servers. But after using just 2TB of bandwidth, they started charging me for extra! A few days later, they suspended my account. Fine, I still had $250 credit in my account. Then, out of nowhere, they charged $175 from my card, and my account was reactivated. I checked my credit, and the $250 was gone, but they deposited money to cover a full month! First, they overcharged, removed my $250 credit, and then added more funds, even though I won't be using the service again. What a rip-off!

Unresponsive to abuse complaints = blacklisted.

Our web servers suffered a coordinated attack originating from multiple Vultr IP addresses primarily in France. I emailed daily abuse reports identifying the IP addresses and included time-stamped firewall log excerpts for evidence.

After a week without any responses, I received a slew of responses all at once, each saying: "Please submit an individual report for each separate IP/domain along with the logs/evidence..." I don't have time to send dozens of separate abuse reports, one per IP address, and Vultr's abuse team is counting on that.

I suspect that Vultr's abuse team has a list of "bulletproof hosting" customers against whom they will not take action. If pushed, they create roadblocks like demanding individual, per-IP, abuse reports, knowing that it makes reporting the abuse impractically time-consuming and tedious.

I have now blocked all Vultr IPs at our firewall. They no longer have access to any of our web, email, cloud storage, VPN, or other servers. Ask yourself, do you want hosting services from a company whose IP addresses are being blocked for abuse?

Dangerous!!!!!!!!

Dangerous!!!!!!!!
After I reviewed the Vultr block of my account a few days ago, today I received an email from Vultr noticing that my email in Vultr account is changed and requires clicking link to confirm.... I don't click the link. I doubt about it and lock my credit card immediately. then 5 minutes later, the bank noticed that the transaction is canceled due to over my balance. oh my god, Vultr is not only blocking my account but although leaking my đata.

Charging me unexpected undisclosed costs for Plesk. Saying that the costs are "influenced by decisions from our upstream providers". However, this is mid agreement. It's a scam...

Also, any offer they give you just disappears after a short time. I had $300 in credit but they were gone after a month. Also, bad layout, confusing names (how's your German?) and bad tech support.

The service is terrible and feels like being scammed

If they are not happy, they will disable your account without any reason. They do not let you backup your data, so please consider. I lost all my data and begged them to reopen it, but they refused because they reported me as violating the rules while I have not used the server they reported me as violating.

Scam company

They take your money--any amount--successfully, and then say "we couldn't automatically verify your account". I've never paid for ANYTHING and had it withheld!

Long time customer, happy with services

Mostly use cloud compute instances, uptime is excellent and they have a large variety of locations to choose from. Been a customer for years without any major issues. Prices are hard to beat.

Poor Experience with Vultr: Unresponsive Support

Don't waste your time on Vultr; the service is immature and leads to a bad experience. The support team is poor and response times are delayed. You will end up regretting trying Vultr.

I added my card to my Vultr account and recharged it with some amount. The system said it couldn't verify automatically and that manual verification could take up to 24 hours. Four days have passed, and I can't log into my account. It keeps saying my password or username is invalid. I am damn sure I input the correct credentials. I also tried the "forgot password" option, but it says a reset link has been sent to my email, which never arrived in my inbox. I've tried several times on different time & days, but no success.

I emailed them & ticket is created, a long time have been passed already but no one is replying to solve the problem. Seriously, it's a poor experience. I do not recommend using Vultr for production deployment. If any problem occurs, no one is likely to help you

I want my money back, but no ways to get it back.
