Doesn’t take a few seconds to realize that their node is down and no one has any clue when it will be up.

Solution

So how to solve this issue?

When node is up, backup your site and move to another VPS and close account on vultr, problem solved forever 😉

    Lol! Love the solution given by you 😉

    Found this post by Googling for exactly same problem. My node is in the USA and has been down for almost an hour.

    So is vultr any good?
    Which VPS host do you recommend?

      If you want 100% uptime then VPS are not the solution. Try dedicated hosts/bare metal.

        I see. I thought VPS are quite reliable? So if they are not reliable then why people use them?
        Which dedicated host do you recommend?

          VPS are good for development phase or for something for which you don’t need 100% uptime. If a site is live and you need 100% uptime then forget VPS.

          I’m not recommending any good dedicated server because they don’t pay me commission for referral 😉

          If you are desperate to know which are the best dedicated hosts then let me know and I’ll email you few.

    Hey Ajay, I found this post for same problem I’m facing. Found your post on Google, BTW it appears at no. 1 on Google search. Do you still use vultr, are they any good in the long term? Can you recommend any good VPS or dedicated web host provider?

      I had no idea that this post at the top of Google search result. Thanks for letting me know.

      Regarding vultr, tbh I haven’t used them since I faced this issue. Gave up. I don’t have authority to say if they are good or bad in the long term. Whenever I try any new host and find it PITA within few days then I dump it and move on.

      As I’ve said earlier VPS are not good for a live website if it is a revenue generating website. Get a decent dedicated server (bare metal). I can’t recommend any dedicated host provider here, connect with me on social media and I’ll tell you.
