Which cloud server can be the best alternative of DigitalOcean?

VM costs on Google Cloud, Amazon and Azure vs Vultr are double at least. Really glad I was referred to this when I first found ML.

I was first referred to DO, so still have a VM or two there. But most of the workload is at Vultr.

I'll buy Vultr if they have a good Black Friday deal on their $20 VPS.

This looks great too! More for less. Anyone try OVH?

They are Europe’s cloud leader. Several people here using them.

They got one in California which is basically local to me. Double the RAM and cheaper. I see no reason to go with Vultr unless they have some kind of great deal.

You cannot say it is cheaper, because the specs are different. Smaller storage, but larger RAM. Really depends on the workload.

Also locations are limited. Depending on the workload, this may matter a lot.

Finally, the OS choices are nothing I would use unless I was just spinning up a CMS (Wordpress/Joomla) for someone.

You can't use your own ISO?

Does not look like it. But I have not signed up. This was in 30 seconds of poking.

Yeah I'd have to find out from support first. If I can't use Fedora I don't want it.

Also on Vultr. Very affordable and no issues

Also new on Vultr (DO during 5 years!), you can add any iso you want, and make tons fo snapshots for immediate recovery if issue, price is lower compared to DO, are specifications are better for same price!

That was a major feature that drove a lot of people over there initially.
