The cheapest VPS on Vultr doesn't provided IPv6. Does it mean people from IPv4 wont be able to access website hosted on that VPS? Is there a way around this issue?

If you're talking about the $2.50 VPS, yes, that's IPV6-only, so it doesn't support IPV4. You're correct that people who only use IPV4 won't be able to access that VPS, at least not without jumping through hoops. There's also a $3.50 VPS instance with the same spec that appears to support both IPV4 & IPV6.

I've been using Vultr for a while and am quite happy with them. I've also used a couple of the IPV6-only VPSs for experiments, but I have IPV4 & IPV6 connectivity at home.

Thank you. I did not know that. It is only available from their NY location. One has to click though all server locations to find the best deal for the need.
You would have to get another instance with IP4 support and reverse proxy to the IP6 one. Could be useful if you were using the IP6 box for something like a database server, but the instance you are talking about isn't really powerful enough for that.
I honestly don't know I am not a network guy. I am using IPv4 it seems on my site.
