I run my blog on 3 distributed instances, one of them being at Vultr. (The 2 others are DO and Scaleway.)

In my experience, all 3 are very reliable: zero downtime since I started using them 8 months ago. Vultr has the nicest dashboard: it uses the noVNC HTML5 client to give you access to the console, it supports 2FA (TOTP) for authentication, etc. They give you $50 of free credit to use in the first 60 days (or did, when I signed up). Plus they accept Bitcoin payments!

Only minor complaint I have is when you create a vps they don't give you its SSH host key fingerprint. You have to log in the console to get it...

Would you mind sharing the technicalities of splitting requests for your blog across 3 providers? Is the 'load balancing' part done at the DNS level?

Yes—full details at http://blog.zorinaq.com/release-of-hablog-and-new-design/ Don't forget to lower your TTL to make it work decently.

Merci bien.

Sounds like a solid provider, I'll give them a try with my next small project. Especially for that price.
