Still about 4x as much as Hetzner cloud. Too bad they're only in Europe..

Don't go with Hetzner if you value whatever you're working on. I was working on a machine learning project and they deleted everything in my account without any warning. One of their employees did this deliberately because they weren't sure if my last name was correct. There was no attempt to remedy this by contacting me, and they had no way to restore the data. They told me that I would just have to start from scratch.

You get what you pay for.

Wow, this pricing is great. It's been a few years since I looked into Digital Ocean, it seems like they've made a lot of improvements since I last used them for a small Rails app.

This means that for me, Vultr has lost its primary selling point

So what is DO's primary selling point then?

Would really like the ability to use custom iso / os on DO instances.

That would be nice indeed. On a separate note, I love the fact that they support freebsd!

You can do this on Vultr.
