Vultr VPS

[mattbratt]

Anyone have recommendations for a Vultr hosted 3CX instance?

Two DIDs, 4 SC, 12 extensions, moderate use.

I picked the 1 vCore, 55GB SSD, 2 GB RAM. Seems to work fine though.

Am using Vultr for more than 1 year now .
am using the cheapest plan that cost 5 $ that provide 1 cpu and 1 giga of ram but the issue is in call recording its save short period of time .

Any instance that meets these requirements is fine:

Vultr is my preferred cloud provider nowadays. It's easy to use, provides an excellent raw performance in terms of CPU and IOPS and it's reasonably affordable (the pricing model is simple, compared to the flagships AWS and Azure). I have several VPS running there for almost two years and even a Windows 10 desktop.

Most of the complaints I've seen were from people not following basic IT guidelines (like don't having a backup). Things can fail, even on an environment like that, so you better keep snapshots (or enable the backup routine which takes snapshots on a regular basis) and have some kind of remote backup.

Unfortunately, I don't use it for 3CX because the closest datacenter from me is Miami, which adds a 100ms of latency just for start.

@MrUn1x , does your 3CX always had behaved like that? The recording is suddenly interrupted (the recording file really ends) or the recording keeps going in silent? There's a new kind of instance on Vultr called High Frequency, it will cost you just another $1/monthly and they perform even better. Although I don't think it's performance related, It might worth trying taking a snapshot and restoring to this new model before pursueing other possible reasons.

No i don't had any issue in call recording i mean the cheapst VPS come with only 25 g.b of harddisk , so you need to go for bigger vps for more call recording saving but prefomance is so good .

Oh, I understand.

Indeed, there's not much storage space, it's the price of being only SSD. But, if your VPS is at New Jersey, you can attach a block storage for $1/month every 10GB (https://www.vultr.com/products/block-storage/). Since their new offers are nVME based, they are probably having some standard SSD space to spare.

Vultr should be more international! Agree the SSD performance is phenomenal.

I think I will stay with Vultr for now, but I will put a couple instances on Azure, Google, Amazon, just to compare. Nothing like experience with all of them. But Vultr is going to be my go-to for now until the others prove otherwise advantageous.

Thanks to all.
